    Best rechargeable AA BATTS?

    I would second Chris on the Eneloop's. I have the following Eneloop sets and all still charge up to a capacity of 2000mAh or more even though one set is a 1st gen Eneloop over 7 years old (granted two of the 7 year old Eneloop's just barely made it past the 2000mAh mark). I recently tested...

    Which is the best Sanyo Eneloop charger in the market now ?

    MQR06 are both the same and it is the best Sanyo branded charger. The MQN06 and MQN10 are second tier Sanyo branded chargers. Panasonic also has some new chargers, in Japan only, that appear to have been released around the time they rebranded Sanyo Eneloop to Panasonic Eneloop. They are...

    Have the price of Eneloops really gone up this much?

    Costco plans a Black Friday related sale Nov 24-Dec 2 2013 that includes an Eneloop package (8AA, 4 AAA plus MQN10 charger for $20). The MQN10 charger appears to have the same electronics and charging characteristics as the MQN06 but packaged in a smaller plastic shell. My local Costco has this...

    Overview: All eneloop batteries; 2005-2021

    Re: Overview: All eneloop batteries; 2005-2013 How many of the various AAA and AA generations are still in production? I ask because I ordered some Std AA eneloops from amazon last month and received batteries labeled as HR-3UTGA (2nd gen) with a manufacture date of 13-06 (June 2013). At least...

    Victorinox LED by Emissive Energy Corp

    I have the 2C version and the body matches up with Steve's description of the 2AA. My take on the finish, it reminds me of the satin-finish that auto manufactures put on their OEM aluminum wheels. It seams to be pretty tuff but I tried the knife blade test (S30V blade RC ~60 give or take) on a...

    Looking for a good wind-up radio.

    The construction of the FR400 would make is easy to wire in three sanyo eneloop AA cells in place of the 3 - 2/3 aaa cell pack. But that would take a lot of cranking to recharge or use the ac adapter one a year to recharge. Technically that would be a flashlight mod since the FR400 has an LED...

    Inova Radiant Flashlight, 2 AA Batteries

    I have the swiss army version of this in C cells. The swiss army version has an alumium body and reminds me of the fit and finish on the X and T series. The swiss army (Victorinox) version has a twisty on/off switch incorporated into the head. The bean is very similar to what Cole3388 described...

    Looking for a good wind-up radio.

    I had a $25 amazon gift certificate and put it toward the FR400 unit. I looked hard at the FR200 and FR300's but the weather resistance and small size made me decide to give it a try dispite a couple of neg reviews about Radio/TV channel separation problems on amazon. Thus far I am happy I did...
