How does the discharge curves of Eneloop Pros compare to standard AA & AAA Eneloops?
<p>
Sorry. I was not able to find this on Google, since I don't know how do you refer to 'standard', 'normal' or 'basic' Eneloops.</p>

<p>
This graph mentions only 70% capcity after 5 years for the basic version, 85% capacity after a year for the normal version; not a basic I can use for comparison. AA & AAA; both are interesting.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
I am not likely to charge them even 500 times in their useful life, let alone 2000 times; so it's a question if they last for 20 years (higher performance) or 100 years (lower performance).</p>
<p>

<p>
Related question: should I opt for the Pro for my flashlights and oral irrigator? I find normal Eneloops not too strong in the latter.</p>

Interestingly, the picture for the basic version doe not show flashlights:</p>

Most of you seem to use here standard versions, though.</p>

Edit: image inserts do not work?</p>
