There was a thread a week ago or so about duracell-branded eneloops $8/4 shipped on ebay... A bit cheaper if you don't mind ebay, and you get non-fake items. (Not saying these are fake, but with DX off-brand batteries,...)
I got mine today. Tested 1.27 v out of the packet. Stuck them in my Maha 90000 and doing a discharge at 1000 mah. Quickly dropped to 1.17 volt? I am not expecting great results. If they are LSD they should give reasonable results from the initial discharge.
They might be. Depends if they were packaged when they were made.
Manufacture date 10/06
Approx 1600 mah when discharged straight from the packet. Which would mean they may hold 80% after 12 months. Just charged them both took 2000 mah. Currently resting. Will discharge and see the results. I think they will be okay. Problem is were they packaged when made or packaged sometime after.
