Both genuine Eneloops.
Here is the front of the new packaging that I received, it looks very much like the genuine one.
My cells has similar ridge like fake cells on rookiedaddy's pictures. You can see it here, fake one on the right.
Thanks... the new image is good enough :thumbsup:, I shall forward to Sanyo and ask if they produce different version for different region (I'm from Asia). It would be interesting to get their feedback. :naughty:The Eneloops from Batterijenhuis (old batch) and Conrad (new batch) came both in a identical plastc/carton blister. Not in the package shown on their website. Only difference was the date of production printed on the back.
I don't have more photo's from the old Eneloop batch. I give them away to a friend.
even the packaging is not that "very much like the genuine on"..
pay close attention on the font & the colors..:ironic:
Are we looking at the same packaging? :thinking: Fonts looks exactly the same to me, since its probably photocopied like Mr Happy mentioned eralier. Colors may vary a bit just because of different white balance settings.
Both genuine Eneloops.
Photo says enough.
.
The inner packaging is good enough to be use as a battery holder.
Below is the packaging I received:
The right one looks like a fake, i have never seen a real eneloop with that type of top nipple, do you have testing equiptment?
The "over 2500 mAh" figure is not the capacity - it's the energy that was put into the cell during the charge. The final figure is the capacity, and it sounds about right for an Eneloop tested with a current model C9000.
Have a close look at the positive terminal - if it has four vents, and looks a bit squarish, it's probably a genuine Eneloop. Also, check on which side of the seam the date code is printed.
I bought four packs of Eneloops in HK a few weeks ago, (dirt cheap from Apliu St. - HK$63 per pack) and the packaging looks identical to the DX pics, but the cells have the characteristic positive terminal shape, and return capacities of around 2000 mAh on a break-in. They seem to be as genuine as the other 40 cells I have, but have no outer clear shrink wrap over the white one. Date code is 08-11 UI.
Cheers
The right one is real for sure. I bought it together with a quick charger from a Sanyo store locator recommended shop. http://www.eneloop.info/where-to-buy/europe/netherland.html
For verification, i bought also a twinpack from another recommended store. That ones are exactly the same as the right one on the quoted photo.
I took the photo before i bought the Eneloops from the bulk pack.are you sure you posted the correct picture of the one you purchaced from a reliable source? and not the one you bought from the bulk pack?
