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.
People have to be pretty naive to think that a Chinese company would sell genuine Eneloops with European/American packaging for a low price…
The genuine Eneloops sold in Hong Kong have a “Sanyo HK” hologram sticker, the other fake ones are sold everywhere.
I know that and you know that, but regardless of how naive someone is, it’s not the buyers fault. There are some regular buyers who probably come to that site searching for Eneloops or batteries.
Then, get these and they’re junk. Now what does that person think and tell others about Eneloops? It’s misrepresentation and damaging and there’s no excuse for it.
Cheap testers are really making a nightmare out of honest Fake-Battery sellers try to get a living…
spotted this preview picture on Dinodirect. looks real!!
Manafont’s eneloops also looks like this… and they are not real.
I believe that enough pictures and user posts have been submitted to realise by now that DinoDirect and Manafont are selling fake Eneloop branded batteries, check out original post Kreisler
