10440 to replace AAA

[Rockenrooster]

@Cemoi

Interesting Rockenrooster, but to conclude they are “better than others”, “others” should be tested in the same 10-year old conditions. And how about IR?

I’ve had rayovac and energizer NIMH batteries and those have been trashed long ago.
However I do still have a couple rayovacs, as they were lower capacity than the energizers.
I also have some old eneloop pros that still work great, but I don’t know where they are ATM lol.
Also, my brother has/had some Powerex NIMH, forget what capacity, but i know they were less than 4 years old before they got throw away because they could hold a charge.

Also i don’t know of any other decade old battery tests other than eneloops, probably because other would be trashed before then.

12 year old eneloop test:

Remarkable Eneloops

A few years back a local Radio Shack called it quits and offered some really low prices as they closed out. Among the stuff was a number of Eneloops in AA and AAA, for $2 per pack of eight. Needless to say, I made a bit of a hog of myself. The only concern I had was that they’d been in a hot sunny display window long enough to have faded the packaging somewhat, but I bought them anyway. I’ve used some, but several packs ended up languishing unused in my battery box ever since. Forward to today…
