Sanyo Eneloop Batteries
I bought these battery's in Sept 2009 trying to find the right battery to use with my Wii Remote. Well it started with the Wii Remote and now anything that will use AA or AAA batteries uses these batteries. I wanted to first start by giving credit to were credit is do, "NLee the Engineer". Any technical info you need to know about these batteries and other LSD (low self-discharge) or also called Pre Charged batteries I would start by reading his reviews first. They are called LSD (low self-discharge) because after a year you still have around 80% of the charge. You have a remote you don't use much, well after 3-4/mo, or more, you can pick it up and it still will work. Or have it stored in you drawer, and after a year you still can use them. They are rated at 2000 mah. At the store you might see higher ones, but you won't be happy with those. Why? Because they might not be LSD (low self-discharge), and won't hold the charge like these. These do perform just like alkaline batteries.
So like "NLee the Engineer" has covered the technical part of it I am just going to mention how I use it. Again it started as a search for the best battery for my Wii. I was going through batteries more than what I wanted. So where do you go to read reviews on things you want to buy, Amazon. I read about some battery packs for the Wii Remote, but I also read that it could damage your remote. I searched on Amazon for rechargeable AA batteries, and Sanyo Eneloops was #1. The first thing I said was "what are Eneloops, and when did Sanyo start making batteries?" I read the reviews from so many and from Mr. NLee the Engineer, and I was sold.
Like I have rechargeable batteries, I need to charge them right? So I went to the search and again NLee suggested as a beginner charger the
Duracell Mobile Charger With 2AA And 2AAA Pre Charged Rechargeable Nimh Batteries, CEF23DX4N
. Nice charger. Why this one? Because it charges your batteries independent, not two at a time which can eventually damage your batteries. Also it charges them at 550 mA, not like the other fast chargers. I will review it on its own page. The price... well as of today it was here double than what I got it for. I got mine new way cheaper at that "E" bidding site.
So what do I use the batteries for? Well as mentioned the Wii Remote. I'm not a big gamer. I couple of nights with my wife a month (she loves Mario Kart Wii), and like 2-3 days a month with my friends. I have noticed that I charge then once a month or 1 ½ months. They have been great.
When I got the Duracell Mobile Charger it came with some LSD batteries. I am currently using those with my
La Crosse Technology WS-8117U-IT-AL Atomic Wall Clock with Indoor/Outdoor Temperature
. The direction for the clock said not to use Rechargeable batteries. Oh well I did. I think the reason it says not to use it, IMO, is because the battery icon always stays on. That is the battery icon that comes up when your battery is low. The reason is because LSD batteries or Pre Charged batteries have a lower voltage than standard batteries, and on some equipment it will show up like the battery is low, but is not. Oh for those that want to know, the first time I charged the batteries from the La Cross clock was after 2/mo thinking the battery was low. It has been more than 8/mo and I haven't charged those batteries.
I am also using them on my Wii Balance Board, a Party Light Flameless candle someone gave us as a gift. It uses 4 AA batteries. A TV remote, mini Maglite, clocks, wireless mouse, solar lights, among other things. Anything that uses AA or AAA batteries I use them, and they have not disappointed.
As I have gotten more batteries I upgraded to a better charger. The
La Crosse Technology BC-700 Alpha Power Battery Charger
. Awesome charger. Charges the batteries separately. You can even choose your charge level; 200, 500, 700mA. It has revived some batteries that have gone dead, none Sanyo Eneloops. Like this is getting long I will review that separate too. Great Charger to keep track of your batteries.
I have recommended these batteries to other people. Some that have been frustrated with the Energizer brand that they keep on buying for their Digital Cameras. After they got the Sanyo Eneloops, they were able to take more pictures than when they had the Energizers, and the batteries recharge so you can use them again. I completely recommend them. They have worked so well.
