No DD for me. I’ve heard way to much negative stuff about them. Outfits like that are the ones that make me glad that the main focus of my light addiction is NOT on budget lights but on the most reputable manufacturers (custom included) and vendors out there. DD is NOT one of those reputable vendors. I get just as mad being ripped off for $.10 as I do $1000. I place a value on my time and refuse to do hours of research to try to save a buck on a $10 set of batteries only to find out that I should have paid attention to the warnings I read from others that have already been screwed. Ignore warnings at your own risk.
Does not seem a good post to me. The first thing to do would be to stop selling fakes.
We need answer from DD and the batteries removed from sale…
Done!
1971mAh@2A to 0.1V
Nice capacity but… with that voltage it’s pretty useless.
Hmm, have you tried measuring voltage with DMM, across the cell’s terminal, during 2A discharge? you might have some parasite resistance somewhere in discharging circuit.
I haven’t measure it… but parasite resistance will be always there maybe higher or lower but it can’t be eliminated; I used the thicker wires I could directly to the charger to discharge the cell.
Well, I’m just suspecting it might be a real eneloop with high resistance in your discharging circuit… Actual fake/crappy battery wouldn’t give out it’s full capacity with just voltage being lower than normal.
I think it’s a very good copy, I have tested Turnigy AA LSD with better results than this “eneloop”. Also, if these were real ones, they should have the date code on the side. The printing on also has different spacing than the real ones, but without orthographic errors.
Real ones would be around 1800-2100*mah maximum, whole batch would have identical capacity numbers after break in, fake ones are between 1800mah and 2500mah, I dont care even if these are genuine coming from old stock, they dont deliver, they dont perform, they suck, period 
*2100mah in regular Eneloops is what Ive seen kreisler here reporting, not what Sanyo says.
Funny, I already told Manafont in May 2011 that their Eneloops were fake…
I’m “talking” with their Customer Service via email… it sucks, they try to avoid and delay everything they can, it makes me think that they don’t even read what I write showing proves… Dealextreme was easier and better every time I used they CS.
Still for sale…
With Jim?
From what I remember, they will check with their supplier who will then tell them if the product is fake or not… (or mimic as they call it). So I guess the supplier of the fake Eneloops doesn’t tell them it’s fake…
With Audrey. Waiting for a response right now… I hate this (and everybody does!)
Jim listened when I complained and added “mimic” to all fake Solarforce items (but not to the fake Eneloop or the fake Maxell batteries I also complained about).
I guess those fake batteries sell quite well, hence why they dont remove them from their listing or dont add clarifications that these are not original products.
Maybe someone is reading this?
First post updated, thanks ;)!
Nice… maybe my contact with their CS had this effect?
Sanyo should shut this down. Even on Manafont where they admit it, it’s trademark infringement. That’s some pretty sleazy tactics there.
