| 1211780 | 2011-06-25 05:20:00 | I find rechargeables go flat a lot quicker than the cheap max-life batteries from Mitre 10, so I always have a supply of spare non-rechargeable batteries. | Greven (91) | ||
| 1211781 | 2011-06-25 05:51:00 | Also, there was a guy on Trade Me selling them for a good price, but I don’t know if he still is because I haven’t had to buy any. :) Catweazle? Isn't that the same person who posts here infrequently? |

| 1211783 | 2011-06-25 08:05:00 | Digby, I’ve still got Sanyo eneloop’s that are over two years old and as good now as ever. They’re dear to start with, but cheap in the end. Also, there was a guy on Trade Me selling them for a good price, but I don’t know if he still is because I haven’t had to buy any. :) Frankly, I’m surprised that the word on these eneloops hasn’t spread quicker. Be careful. There were a whole load of 'normal' rechargeable batteries that were produced in China marked as Eneloops. They were fake. |

| 1211784 | 2011-06-25 11:37:00 | Thanks I see that eneloop is a brand of Sony, who developed the concept. They sound good, I must get some. |

| 1211785 | 2011-06-25 12:18:00 | Sony eneloop sounds like a good rechargeable battery. I have a good supply of rechargeable batteries at the moment and I am not ready for replacements. Rechargeable battery technology is getting better so who knows what will be around when I am in need of replacements. | Bobh (5192) | ||
| 1211786 | 2011-06-25 21:34:00 | Ok, given that there seems to be some impostors out there, the eneloop’s I refer to are made by Sanyo not Sony and are manufactured in Japan not China. Doesn’t seem to matter whether it’s Rolex watches or battery’s someone makes a cheap imitation of a quality product. :( |

| 1211788 | 2011-06-25 22:40:00 | Apple have even rebranded these sanyo eneloop batteries for themselves. Selling for $51 for 6 of them with a charger. Probably a bit of apple tax there |

| 1211789 | 2011-06-26 03:36:00 | Just bought a set of 4 Sanyo Eneloops from Dick Smith with a charger. Four with a standard charger for $39.95 Keen to see how they perform. Apple - well they are the same colour! |
