Hello everybody,
just curious to know. The very first Eneloops to see the world were introduced in Nov 2005, which took place in Japan. Shortly after, in spring 2006, they were distributed world-wide and by Nov 2011 have reached their 200,000th sale and this is being celebrated by the November 2011 Japan release of the Eneloop Tones Chocolat. In spring 2012, the Chocolat Eneloops and the white standard Eneloops will hit international release as HR-3UTGB and HR-4UTGB for the 3rd generation Eneloop AA and AAA cells.
So, the oldest Eneloops anyone could possibly own are exactly 6.0yrs old (and those cells bear the model number HR-3UTG and HR-4UTG)!
Survey: How old are yours, how intense have you use been using them, and what is your estimated degree of cell quality degradation ("aging")? -- Users with hobby chargers, Powerex C9000, or the cloned/rebranded BC-700 (BC-900, BC-1000, etc.) could tell exactly what the mAh-capacities of their Eneloops are after all these months and years of high-power Cree LED flashlight abuse
Thanks in advance for some rambling on your Eneloops
