In Europe, our Eneloop packaging shows Min. capacity only. This has been the case for many years.
I thought that the US also changed that, but it seems not. So they still show Min. capacity + Typical/Rated capacity.
The new AA will do 2,000mAh instead of 1,900mAh
and the new AAA will do 800mAh instead of 750mAh.
These are only available in Europe.. for the moment.
I just ordered 4 AAs and 4 AAAs.

Could someone measure the diameter compared to older generation. I have some devices that are a tight fit. Wondering if the extra capacity requires bigger battery.

Unfortunately, I have a cheap digital caliper, and it's not so precise in the tens/hundreds of millimeters.
1st gen 14.11
3rd gen 14.13
4th gen 14.13
5th gen 14.16
These measurements aren't static... Each time I measure, they change slightly in the tens/hundreds, and sometimes go up to 14.20mm.
But every time I measure them, the 1st gen has the lowest number, and 5th has the highest number
Thank you for the heads up & the video ChibiM …

Hi,
They are kind of unique, but not a special edition.
The actual special editions are called Tones, and are numbered from 1-4 or 1-8 depending on the type.

What about these batteries sold on costco? Since they are made in Japan, are they rebadged eneloops as well?

@cyclops:
Those are not advertised as being LSD.
In my experience, if a battery is not advertised as LSD, it's not LSD, therefore there's no way that they're rebadged Eneloops.

The Energizer are confusing. I was under the impression there were made in Japan, and there is only one factory making AA in Japan. Mistake? Misinformation?
Also [Made with 15% recycled materials] and [These Energizer AA batteries come pre-charged and can be recharged in an Energizer battery charger hundreds of times. Each AA rechargeable battery can hold its charge for up to 12 months in storage, and the double A batteries have up to a 5 year battery life with normal use.].
Those claims are not consistent with Eneloop.

Looks like 5th generation Eneloops are still not being sold in North America.

Nkon has the new versions now, I checked a couple of weeks ago and they didn’t have them. 1€ more than amazon.fr even though the previous gens were cheaper

Yeah, they are quite expensive.
I told Nkon about the 5th gens in June or July, so they finally made it to their store.. better late than never.
Right now, every store has them at a very high price... a little too high IMHO

Okay, I changed the title, so the new website doesn't copy the title into the URL with the dates in there... :D

Specs for the BQ-CC73:
Charge rate std AA: 1-2 (1 hour 30 minutes) 3-4 (3 hours) 750mA x4
Charge rate std AAA: 1-2 (1 hours 30 minutes)3-4 (3 hours) 275mA x4
supports individual charging
Manual: https://panasonic.jp/p-db/contents/manualdl/1428427857856.pdf
BQ-CC71
Charge rate std AA: 300mA 3-4 (7 hours) 1-2 (3.5 hours)
Charge rate std AAA: 225mA 3-4 (4 hours) 1-2 (2 hours)
Some other chargers not listed on your website:
BQ-CC91 (USB in/out): https://panasonic.jp/p-db/contents/manualdl/1428427185611.pdf
BQ-CCA3 (8 slot with USB out): https://panasonic.jp/p-db/contents/manualdl/1428440417469.pdf
The difference between the CC53 and CC83 (same for CC55/CC85) seems to be that the CC83 supports charging overdischarged batteries by applying a small current before the main charging process.
