Pretty weird.
I was in Lowe's today and had an impulse buy for a 3XAAA UV light (14 LED). You know, unregulated, junk, blah, blah. But for $6, I was curious to test it on some currency. Anyways, Pointing the thing around the house and happened to point it at a rack of spare batteries and noticed, hmmm, the white ring around the top of a AA eneloop was fluorescing. Not all Eneloops AA's, curiously, only some of them.. I have some HR-3UTGs, but only one (out of 4) that has this oddity, so far. These aren't the colored ones, or anything special, just normal run-of-the-mill eneloops (all purchased long before the announcement of the sale to Panasonic, let alone moving manufacturing to China).
Counterfeit?? Which one(s)??
I have quite a few Eneloops, but they're not easily accessible right now, I will take a look and report back.
In the the meantime, anyone else seeing this?
