I think I have received FAKE Gen1 Eneloops from Manafont, because they don't have the date code on the side. I can do a discharge test, but my question is, which voltage do I have to select to discharge? 0.9v is OK or it's too much? I would like to do a 4A discharge but don't know when to cutt off. Some pics of my cells from MF:
0.9V is fine, but if you’ll do discharge at 4A, you might even set it to 0.8V, as you’ll lose some voltage in leads between your discharge equipment and battery, springs (if you use cradle, etc.

Yours look exactly like mine, which I assume means that they are fake too
I guess none of those big Chinese DinoDirect-like retailers carry original Eneloops so everyone should avoid buying rechargeable brand name batteries from them or buy only if other members can confirm they have got the same item and they can confirm that its original.

Thanks, now I’m charging two of them, then I’ll begin with the discharge…

Yes, I saw your post, but on the entire thread I couldn’t find Manafont, so I though the problem was just DinoDirect.
I live outside the US, so I think I can’t get Eneloops (batteryjunction’s shipping is too much exaggerated, so I’ll never buy there).
Nice ! i can’t agree with you more!i f i want to find the information,i often come to http://www.dealextreme.com/c/electrical-tools-499 .it’s really a good choice. :bigsmile: “Full power for a reasonable price! When I need more batteries, I dont do any experimence and will buy these again.

Eneloop tones UOMO

*the letter “U” stands for UOMO
Hi Veer,
In the opening post, or the second one, you can see the overview of the amount of cycles, etc…
as far as I could see they showed a 500cycle. But looking at some pictures they actually show 800cycles.
see this picture: and it says 800回 which means 800 times.
but looking at this page, it mentions 500times.
To me it looks like they just copied the info from the old PRO cells.
Also, has anyone of you bought their XX 2500mAh from previous generation? How good do they keep up with frequent use and how about their recharging count? 500 seems a bit low, have you experienced any issues?
Also, to those who have bought latest generation AAA XX’s, how are their capacities?
I paid only 11$, the rest came from gift cards and they cant even start their offer with 45$ gift card.

This really belongs in a DD thread at this point, not an Eneloop thread.
Cleaned my posts as much as I could without ruining asnwers to my posts, new thread started

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!!!!
Make sure you re-post this information in my thread also, that way more people could be warned ;)!
Never seen these black “glitter” eneloops before! 2nd gen
They are sold at Nkon.nl, which is based in Holland!
Haven`t seen them anywhere else before.
The Eneloop 2005-2021 info thread
They also are available here: http://www.voelkner.de/products/286652/eneloop-NiMH-Mignon-Akkus-2000-mA...
Black & white ones.
Good idea. Done!
Look what arrived at my door today!
Unfortunately they are here only for a short time, next week they are moving on to a tropical Island!

The Eneloop 2005-2021 info thread
Fishinfool… Im really sorry for you.. I have some bad news…
there are again some new eneloops!
HR-3UTGB8D2
The Eneloop 2005-2021 info thread
They also renewed the XX version!
old version is the HR-3UWX
and new version is the HR-3UWXB
They now also have them in AAA format!!!! here are some pictures.
The Eneloop 2005-2021 info thread
Omg. I want the AAA Eneloops Pro’s. They look gorgeous, and hopefully will perform just as well.
I wonder if the charge cycle count has stayed the same for these?
Good news is that they dont self discharge as soon as previous gen XX did.

800 looks much better, I think I saw it somewhere but didnt remember :D!
Thanks!
Probably the cheapest source to buy 3rd gen Eneloop AAA's is 6.95€ for a 4-pack bulk, i got mine today:
will do some tests with C9000 ..
2012 September cells, HR-4UTGB Min. 750mAh ("12-09 SU"): charge rate 400mA, discharge rate -200mA
1. after initial discharge / 2. after refresh&analyze / then, 3. after break-in / then again, 4. refresh&analyze
So, Kreishill, did you?
Also, has anyone of you bought their XX 2500mAh from previous generation? How good do they keep up with frequent use and how about their recharging count? 500 seems a bit low, have you experienced any issues?
Also, to those who have bought latest generation AAA XX’s, how are their capacities?
