Chinese Eneloops are not officially sold in Japan or North America… not yet at least
They are predominantly found in Southeast Asia and Australia, via Panasonic Singapore (they handle that distribution area)… but there are reports that some Chinese Eneloops are sold in Europe too.
No worries when buying in North America and Japan, for the most part
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Panasonic-Eneloop-750mah-AAA-4-Pack-/391173301848?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5b13bee658 that was the link, free postage to me too :). Not sure if you are UK or in the US though? They only took a few days to get here so guess they was in the UK.
EDIT: Sorry, realised you are in Canada. Probably be a better deal elsewhere if its not free shipping.
you must be joking...... or new :D
So just a heads up… Costco (in USA at least) is doing a close out sale on their Eneloop packs for $22 (US)… I think they’re trying to get rid of their old inventory and replace them with the new ones that says “10 years”
This is the pack with 10 AAs, 4 AAAs, and the BQ-CC17 charger… they are the blue/light blue and green/light green wrappers
I picked up a pack today as a Christmas present… funny enough, they have a NOS set on the shelf, just one… a Sanyo one with just 10 AAs with the cases… I wonder how that got there lol
