Little update:
I threw cells #10 and #11 into digital camera today, it showed low battery alarm instantly.
Another proof these are not true LSD.
The problem, vëer, is that apart from they are not LSD, they dont perform well under high loads.
Another problem. Multicell arrangements:
All the cells have different capacity, and the difference is appreciable.
Today I installed 2 in a mobile phone emergency charger. The emergency charger stopped working and I didn´t wondered why.
I took the cells, measured the voltage: one was 0,9v the other was 1.2v. And both were charged in the same charger in the same moment…
I will abuse them, and after a few cycles I will recycle them
Thanks for let us know…
Very useful post! Thanks for the heads up. This will be a good reference if we suspect having received fakes in the future. Frontpage’d and Sticky’d.
I guess they are just decent NiMH with no LSD properties…… not too bad if it’s a low enough price.
I need 8 NiMH AAs for my 2 camera flashes. As cheap as possible, as long as they can charge up my Nikon SB-900 within 5 seconds. 
I doubt these will handle such task - read above, me and Fran are having hard time getting them to work with higher loads.

Avoid buying from DD. I have given up already!
Again, guys, these batteries are normal (crappy) chinese Ni-Mh cells with NO low self discharge technology, with a capacity around 2200mAh and they are not good under high loads (more than 1 Amp)
Please, avoid them.
These are actually pretty good by cheapies standard. The crappy NiMH around were ~500-600mAh and discharge ~1C only. Of course LSD not included. By comparison, this fake is improved by leaps and bounds.
If they're priced at $5-$6 as they should be, and carry own brand, I don't think they'd have problem selling it. Hot cakes. Even I would jump on some for my kids battery packs and such.
The problem is they ride on Eneloops name and ruin it all.
Yes, but remember that as soon as you use them under high loads, they will not cope with the demand and will fail.
summer, please remove pictures when quoting a post. It’s very annoying to scroll through so much quoted pics.
How many people are being scammed by these fakes. DD should change the description immediately to FAKE-nloops to restore some credibility. A very low act imo. Bring back the Avoid label.
I have received "Eneloops" from Manafont,they are sightly different than Dinodirect's, they weight 27 grams each (heavier than DD's), they don't have the words WAHS and WATHER, but they are not genuine.
They don't have the Date Code on the side, and capacity isn't like an original one.
My Results:
Discharge to 0.8V @ 2Amps: 177mAh
Discharge to 0.8V @ 1Amp: 1703mAh
So… FAKE cells, but could be worse. MF Manafont doesn’t sell genuine Sanyo Eneloops!!!!
+1 I am really getting sick of DD and am not ordering from them anymore.
No please guys!!
i think im gonna have to call back dinoboy then!
:sick:
FX-32, mind doing one more test - discharging at 2A down to 0.1V? I’m wondering if this low capacity result is caused by their internal resistance or just crappy chemistry…
As Weiser recently pointed out you already did. :p
(From another thread)
P.S. I hope you enjoy my new signature. :)
Is it even worth taking a punt on “branded” batteries from Chinese resellers?
In the UK, eneloops aren’t very expensive, and there are GP recykos and Uniross Hybrids for a little less if need be.
Best post I’ve seen in a while.
Thanks for the info, vēer !!!
