Batt life

[sweetlight]

Hey all, I just made the move to eneloop. I'm confident that I will save money on batts. I'm pretty sure that I won't lose any efficiency but can you guys confirm that for me? I use mostly 1AA and 1AAA lights. Will they shine longer and or brighter with the eneloop than alkies?

It depends on the light, but on average yes, they'll behave better.

For an example: See D10 runtime test
Compare the blue and purple line on the first graph. The shape of the lines are very characteristic for the behaviour of NiMH and alkis.

If you do loose a bit of capacity, try conditioning them a couple of times and they seem to bounce back pretty good.
