    Dreams are free: An eneloop wishlist...

    I'd like for Sanyo to release its 1-2 hour chargers in the states (like the MQH03). I know you guys are into the more advanced chargers, but there's something to be said for a charger that just works. Sanyo's high speed chargers charge at a safe rate and are no fuss. Instead, they bundle in...

    Recycling Batteries - FYI

    Several years back I took some batteries to Radio Shack. They kept the lithium ion cells and dumped the alkalines in the trash.

    how do eneloops compare to 14500 lithiums?

    Relatively inexpensive...Perhaps until the manufacturer fits the cells into a proprietary battery so that there can be a healthy markup on batteries and chargers. I don't know anyone who would describe a mobile phone battery as inexpensive.

    AA hybrids and LSD harder to find.

    The sales clerks don't know the advantages. I once sold some Eneloops to a clerk at HHGregg as I was checking out. He had no clue.

    15 minute charger bad for my NiMH AAs?

    The Rayovac I-C3 charger I had also had a fan and the cells still came off of the charger so hot that I accidentally pulled back their covers when trying to get them off of the charger without waiting for them to cool down.

    Battery chargers on extension leads

    Which would have a favorable effect on the price of gasoline and rid the planet of some terrible DNA. Everyone wins.

    NIMH - HOW MANY CHARGES FOR FULL CAPACITY

    How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop? :)

    Costco's Eneloop Power Packs - Picturing the Difference

    The charger has different contact points for AA & AAA cells. I wouldn't expect it to have a problem with mixed types.

    How to read Eneloop date code.

    Thanks so much for posting that. For the life of me, I couldn't find those links and went instead with an explanation in my own words, which as we saw, was insufficient.

    eneloop and the general consumer

    I've watched TV shows garner award after award only to be canceled (and still receive awards) because of low ratings. (Arrested Development is one that comes to mind.) Money talks, not awards. Circuit City is clearing out the Eneloop product, most likely never to carry it again. My CC put...

    How to read Eneloop date code.

    Some time in 2007, Sanyo adjusted the design of the top of the cell in response to some compatibility problems. The newer cells could be identified by a registered trademark (R) symbol on them. None of my devices have a problem, but I would prefer the newer cells over the 2006 variety for...

    Lifespan & Use of NiMH LSDs?

    LSD was the only thing that was missing from my previous cells. I plan on keeping and using my Eneloops until they are no longer operating properly or all my devices that take AA & AAA cells go away. Now, in regards to home theater equipment and computers...that's a different story. :)

    Batteries with low self discharge "LSD"

    I can't help but think that some marketer saw 2100mAh and 500 cycles in the specs and said "let's bump those numbers up a bit. :)

    Any reason to keep around old 1600mAh Sanyos?

    I can't speak for Fallingwater, but I should be apologizing instead of you. I totally glazed over that second part. :ohgeez: I'm trying to buy some sense of humor pills on ebay, but the shipping is a killer.

    Any reason to keep around old 1600mAh Sanyos?

    Please don't do that. One of the best advantages of NiMH is that it is easier to find a place that will take them for recycling. (I have yet to find a place that will take alkalines.) In the USA, it's as easy as taking them to a Radio Shack.
