1127736 2010-08-17 07:34:00 IT or construction?
Hmm, sounds nerve-wracking.........

Civil construction.

If I had talked myself into heading up a multi-million dollar IT project I'd have been found out and ejected before the first cup of coffee had chilled.

1127737 2010-08-18 07:42:00 Went into Jaycar in Ch Ch to buy some of these Eneloops,the chap gave me some rubbish and I said I want Eneloops,he had never heard of then.
They didn't have any but I noticed some called Enekeep,so I bought those on the off chance.
Looked them up on google and find they seem to be better than average.

Won't be back there in a hurry.

Don't blame the alternative suppliers . In 2008 I asked Sanyo Australia why Eneloop batteries had become so hard to find in retail outlets here . The answer came back that "Sanyo is planning on expanding the retail presence of eneloop in New Zealand in the near future, however at this stage we recommend you contact Tesa, who is our official distributor . " I don't know whether Sanyo ever did much but I note that DSE has them again . After a few years I'd imagine that there would be several brands with similar technology .

Had mine about 18 months,used to have a Canon A75 that normal NiMh would run .
Bought a Canon 590is (similar) which would show low battery with the usual batteries

No problems with Eneloop

1127741 2010-08-18 09:04:00 I knew about the Eneloop when they came out, but never bothered to get any since my "MAXUSS" NiMHs from TradeMe seem great so far... Agent_24 (57)

I will revert to Dicky.

I have these Keneloops,so no alternative but to try them out.
