I watched this guys reviews of batteries after 1 year of use in rechargeable solar outdoor lights and the results were interesting.
What do you think?
Also what is a good site to check out latest rechargeable battery reviews of AA and AAA batteries of all brands?
Nice anime avatar!
Do you know who that is?
I tried some reverse images searches, but came up with nothing.
Yeah it is Keitaro someone had hand drawn it and I liked it. Keitaro from Love Hina. You can probably recognize him now he always was recognizable but since from a really old anime it is hard to place.
Hmm…
Seems like Keitaro usually has brown eyes, not green–like it matters. 
Thanks for the ID! 
That use pattern doesn’t show what I see as a more realistic use pattern. Also, some batteries start out with a pretty large capacity advantage.
FWIW I have some EBL2800 that are about 2 years old. Capacity is dropping fast, internal resistance going up along with it, and current output not nearly as good as it was. Some are even getting flaky about termination on good chargers.
Lots of NiMh will look OK for a year or 2. Not many will go 5+ years, which may not be important to some people.
Yeah, I didn’t watch the video, but Eneloops are known to work just fine for a decade or even longer (under many conditions.)
Most NiMH cells, even many LSD cells, don’t last nearly that long. 
I know Eneloops work well for my useage patterns, so I gave up trying to find anything better or cheaper.
I love Todds work at project farm. His tool reviews are amazing and I’m all in on the quality of his work. That said, it’s not perfect as he can’t know everything about everything. He didn’t test the higher capacity eneloops for instance. I find the battery review excellent in that long term, and he did that via testing, is what I look for in a battery.
Duracell alkalines have destroyed a lot of my electronics, and it would be hard to trust them for anything, even if it’s a different chemistry. I’ve standardized with Eneloops and Laddas for my rechargeables and have been happy.
That’s exactly my experience: I’ve used Eneloops for over a decade and they’ve always worked perfectly. The only other NiMH brand I’ve ever tried was UltraLast Green: bought a 6-pack of them at Fry’s before I knew any better just a couple months before my first Eneloops.
During all these years I still have all my Eneloops and they all still work great, but 4 of these UltraLasts went to the trashbin already, and the surviving 2 aren’t in great shape either: less than 70% of their original capacity, large IR and about ready to follow the others.
So I’d stick with Eneloops if I were the OP, or at most Laddas as they also seem to have a great reputation.
