Overview: All Eneloop batteries 2005-2024

Okay, I hope the battery still performs well. curious to know how much capacity it has

So, the higher priced fakes are better?

Well…beneath the plastic wrapper is a metal tube, and physically it should hold up just fine.
But I think the entire casing of the battery is the negative terminal, so you’d have to be mindful of anything metal causing a short.

I also don't know why they do that. It's not so hard.

But it might be something that they can't get sued for. If they do a 1 on 1 copy, they might get sued :)

Just guessing

Excellent ! I always buy Panasonic Eneloop Lite AAA at VinMart!

Just got another pack of AAA lites today from Lithuania. With AA use regular white enelopes. Have no love for the cells that max out capacity.

Why bother? There’s plenty of people willing to buy fakes off of sites owned by the CCP.

Anyone know how the current AmazonBasics AAA High Capacity compare to Eneloop Pro? The description used to say “Made In Japan” (Eneloop rewraps) but they don’t list that anymore. One recent comment says their’s were made in China. I’m guessing they’re not rewraps of the Pro’s anyway seeing as the rated capacities don’t match any version of the Pro.

Do we know something about brown ikea 2450?

and also brown ikea 750

Does anybody know what happened to Nkon.nl ?
I can’t open their website for a few weeks now.

https://www.nkon.nl/ is working fine for me. Do you have some privacy add-on in your browser that’s blocking it? Try a different browser and/or device.

Working fine for me as well.

Thanks… somehow it works now… same browser and I even clicked the same bookmark. Weird.

How important is the wrapper on eneloop? If starting to wear out is there a chance of short?

Wrappers are important on all batteries in my opinion. But it also depends on the application. If it doesn't have metal stuff that can touch the cannister, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Hi everyone, I am trying to recharge my Eneloop batteries with my BC1000 battery charger but a battery is not recognized and the display shows “null” as if the battery was not there. Should I throw the battery away or can I get it back somehow? It’s a “botanic edition” and I’m a little sorry … thanks in advance.

With all your cells or just one ? It does that if the voltage is below 0.9V. if you have another charger you can try to put it in it so that it raises the cell’s voltage above 0.9V (if it doesn’t have this type of protection), then put it in the BC1000. Or you can parallel it with another cell for a short moment, preferably not a fully charged one to not get a too high current.

No, it is not recognized by any cell of my “BC1000”. I will try to use another charger with the voltage you told me. Thanks x now.

Old style/slow/dumb chargers, the kind that take many hours to charge, are….very…slow/low output, and may never shut off, are worth having around for this. The will attempt to charge anything that will fit. Boost the ‘dead’ battery with one of these for a few minutes, and it will generally be recognized by a good smart charger then. Had to do that to 2 AAA cells from a used home phone system I got yesterday. All batteries being cycled and tested now.

If dumb charger does not work, do the parallel charge with another cell. If THAT does not work, you do have a dead cell.
