Overview: All Eneloop batteries 2005-2024

Sorry, because I am stupid I confused the chocolate ones with UOMOs. The UOMOS are indeed only 1-4. Sorry for the confusion.

Not much more info on the blog it’s from:
http://www.ae5x.com/blog/2012/02/10/three-generations-of-sanyo-eneloops-compared/

I actually asked the poster to delete the graph, because it looks deceiving.

But he didn't do it.

The batteries are measured Not after they were charged, like the XX.

So who knows how long they have been laying unused, or even used.

Or even coming straight out of the package. Eneloop doesn't charge them Full.

So it's better to delete the graph, so people don't take it as proof, for whatever reason, because it's not!!!!

WhY I said earlier. If you leave a first gen. untouched after a full charge it will have almost more mah. left after 3 years than this test.

And it doesn't sho the discharge current. Not even mentioning it's done the same current with all of them.

Don't trust that graph.

Hey guys. Sorry for sounding like an idiot but I just purchased a AA XX set with charger from Amazon and noticed that their part number illustrates that they are from the first generation eneloops (3UWXA) they also have the 4 ventilation holes. But the weird thing is the production date on the battery shows they are produced on 13-04 OC. Can someone shed done light on me please.

I am not sure how it is with charger bundles but on normal retail packages there is the manufacturer date printed on the retail packages back, too.

The only thing I can say, is that they are sold in China. The production date seems a little weird to say the least.

In April 2013, Panasonic already switched to the 3rd gen XX in Japan.

So where Chinese shops get first generation XX manufactured in Japan from, is a mystery.

That's all I can say.

Do you have some close up pics of the cells and the date stamp?

Thanks for all the replies guys I really appreciate it
I purchased them from Amazon.

Here are some pics I took using my mobile

here you are:

Thanks bro :slight_smile:
Excuse me but I am using my mobile.

Can you show a pic of the front?

What amazon did you buy it from? .com? What's the sellers name?

They don't seem to be from the US. But if they are let me know.

3 of my 4 original eneloops crapped during the last 3 months. They were 2nd gen. Never got to the advertised 1000 cycle time but it must have got at least 350-400 cycles of use. The head expelled some black powder in 1 cell and the 2 other cells had a somewhat waterish thick black liquid at the top.

I don’t know if my $5 ebay charger is to be blamed (it has cut off) or just plain day in day out use or draining it to a too low voltage that caused that.
Anyways, I will be soon in the market for a new set of eneloops so your valuable information will be well….INVALUABLE!

Sure thing Buddy I’ll post some pics as soon as am back home.
They where purchased from Amazon.com and sold/shipped through them also. Plus delivery was fast till it arrived to my forwarding company in NY.

good to know this

1000 cycles is probably in perfect “lab” conditions… for example, perfect temperature, charging cells at .2c and discharging at 200ma, never overcharging or over discharging… of course real world is going to be something less

i would be satisfied if i got 350+ cycles :slight_smile:

i have 8x 3rd gen aa cells coming today

I have some eneloops for sale as well.. for anybody who is interested.

Just wanted to share the latest and greatest Glamorous eneloops,

available from November 29 2013 in Japan.... I take pre-orders.... Just kidding.

8 packs and 4 packs.

BK-3MCC/8GL GL stands for Glamorous

even thought you are joking I would take at least 1, maybe 2. :party:

I think 8 unique colors like the Color Tones and Tones Glitter, and Choco tones would be nicer..

I can see those pictures from here and my computer isn’t even on.
