Overview: All Eneloop batteries 2005-2024

Yes, I do.. Please see my sales thread.

Search for ChibiM eneloop sales, and it should come up in of the first search results.

Does anyone have the official press release for the EU distribution of 4th gen Eneloops?

Good news for the rest of the world!

They can get them locally!

@ the same time a little amusing that I can sell 8 packs for even less than a big shop in Europe..even after my PayPal,exchange losses, and shipping from Japan.

So I might continue selling these 4th gen. Untill the prices drop below my prices, that it's not worth for me to keep selling them. But maybe at that time we will have 5th generation ;)

Always in need of some Chibi eneloops. At least we’re not going to get fakes!

Found 4th generation Eneloops in a retail store (Microcenter, on the outskirts of Philadelphia); in 4-packs and 8-packs.
They have AAs packaged with chargers (two different kinds of chargers… they looked cheap); and Black XX in both AAA and AA.

I was even surprised to find some Tenergy LSD D-Cells.

They look real but did you possibly take them out of the packet before putting back in to take the photos?
Why I ask is that Panasonic make very sure the eneloop logo is facing outwards in the packaging in exactly the same way for every cell and they use a light adhesive to keep them in place. I’d be wary if these came in the pack as displayed in your photo.

Accumulator has a point..

In Japan we just can`t buy any eneloop packs without the eneloop (Panasonic) text facing towards you.

Here a pic from other BK-4MCC cells sold in Europe, not for the Japanese market.

And all the cells sold in Japan look a like..(eneloop text facing you)

All my Eneloops are Sanyo Gen 3, I have several packs unopened, and the 4 AA Eneloops in a charger, are exactly the same, centred. 3 packs of coloured 8 x AA, 2 packs UOMO, 1 pack Rouge, same, all front and fairly close to centred. Also, 1 pack of 4 x AAA, centred.

I do have one 4 pack in the charger though, that has one battery that is maybe 30 degrees off centre, but the other 3 are centred too.

All bought from bricks and mortar stores with good reputation in Australia.

if you want me to make more pics of the batteries I have in stock.. feel free to ask.

edit: please don`t ask me, because I probably have no time for it ;)

More pics please. :stuck_out_tongue:

Love seeing massive amounts of eneloops all over.

I can not wait, I need more Eneloops, are never enough eneloops… :heart_eyes:

No… I did not.

I just opened the pack 2-minutes ago.
Good point about the logo facing front.
Microcenter is a very reputable store (they’re a lot like Fry’s).
Maybe some 3rd party is repackaging the batteries for the U.S. Market?
The labels are very precisely applied.
I see a sort of indented watermark on the bottom of the label: 13 - 12M2 if I’m reading it correctly.
The batteries/labels are pretty much flawless. If they’re not legit, they’re supreme quality bootlegs.
I’ll take pictures of the batteries themselves and post them later tonight.

Are the graphics on the front right of the package supposed to be cut-off like that?

No… they’re not cut off at all. It’s simply the camera angle.

I guess that has rubbed off on me, because when I place eneloops in my charger, I always feel compelled turn them all slightly so the logo is showing. Or maybe that’s just my OCD.

Comparison.

The flash on my phone was blurring the positive end picture, so I’m trying to illuminate them with a
light and snap the pic at the same time.

Left side… is a “Chibi-M-eloop” that came with Eneloopy.
No, the right side top isn’t whiter; they’re identical, it’s the camera.

“Chibi-M-eloop” on bottom

I think they’re real.
Well, I’ve charged more than my fair share… time to stick them in the LaCrosse and see what happens.

A 1A discharge test should settle the issue. Even higher would be ideal, but you’d need access to a hobby charger or something similar.

Hi,

I’m new to Eneloops… I just bougth a first series of 4th gen at nkon.
So far I love them, and also the design of the standard white ones.

While browsing this topic I saw pictures of the different special editions that where issued in the last years.
I would like to know where I can order special editions to ship to Europe. I saw the Tropical ones at nkon.nl.
I’m not fond of buying these off eBay…

I’m not sure if these are still available somewhere, but I would love to get a set of AA uomo tones!

I stopped buying eneloops off ebay or chinese websites once I saw a reputable member was offering them here. (ChibiM) I prefer to have to pay a bit more (shipping to my country is expensive) and have the peace of mind of having genuine cells right out of Japan!

Maybe he can get them for you larry. And btw, bienvenu!

@MountainKing : French is actually not my mother’s language, as I live in the Dutch speaking part of my country :wink:
But thank you for your welcome!

I also prefer buying from a reputable member. On eBay you often don’t know what you buy.
I’ll try to contact ChibiM soon!
