Yes, and BTW, the Costco Eneloops are made in Japan. So, you don’t have to worry about getting the Chinese Eneloops like some places might sell.
I bookmarked that link to keep an eye out for that once a year deal you mentioned and will buy quite a few more from Costco, thanks again!
??? It’s not an Eneloop.
Edit…… I saw HKJ’s post below & learned something. 
But made at the eneloop factory with about the same performance as a eneloop.
Oh… OK. I did not know that. Thank you for the info HKJ!! 
I thought its performance was on par with older generations of Eneloops, not the current generation.
I do not know if they keep production lines with the old process running, but I added a “about” to my sentence to avoid any quibble about possible minor differences.
Part 2 of the fake AAA pro
Very well done video, thank you!! :+1:
But these are Eneloop Pros though, with fewer charge cycles.
Thanks for the warning about the eBay fakes.
I am starting to need more AAAs, dagnabbit.
So they are. Does IKEA have one that is comparable to a regular Eneloop??
No, they don't!
That is actually a very good question, because people usually don't think that the most popular eneloop model is not available at IKEA. Since that 1 video is circulating the internet everybody seems to be saying, Get the IKEA, because they are the same as eneloops. But they forget that the standard (and most popular) eneloops aren't available as IKEAloops.
Thank you for the reply ChibiM…. :+1: That tells me what I need to know.
And video 3..
Fake AA PRO.. so not AAA pro like the last 2 videos.
So any recommendations for buying, say, 2 dozen Eneloop AAAs?
I wish I could find the price per cell listed — everything I find is 2-pack or 4-pack etcetera.
And wow do the prices vary.
Unfortunately, I can’t offer any suggestions for California, but people in the UK might like to consider Battery Logic:
They’re usually quite competive, and they sell the Fujitsu LSD cells as well as the Eneloops. I’ve started buying the Fujitsu ones - no chance of Panasonic mixing up a batch or something and sending me Chinese “Eneloops”.
Yeah, come to think of it, the last eight AAAs I bought were Fujitsus.
They seem to work fine. Gotta remember to recheck HKJ’s reviews ….
I managed to grab the last Costco set today. I have been putting it off waiting for a sale. But, I never saw them on sale. Bit the bullet and paid the $30. The last set on shelf. Also, all So Cali stores I have been to are all gone.
