Hi Dennis,
I pretty much read Chibi's POWEREX section as stating that they're NOT Eneloops. Maybe somebody, somewhere, thought they were, so he listed them, or maybe he's just including all of the major players, I don't know, but there's no indication from his words that they're made in the FDK plant and are even LSD batteries.
My buddy bought a C9000 right after I did in 2012, but instead of buying my AccuPower 2900/1200s, he went with PowerEx and he had a couple of his AAs fail quite early on. I'd never spend my money on them unless it was an emergency and there were all I could get.
I won't buy the AccuPower batteries, either, but I got close to 2.5-3 years out of 8 AAs and 8 AAAs before recycling them.
For the record, the worst batteries I bought when I revamped everything 6 years ago were my 8 Sanyo 2700 HSD 'made in Japan' AAs. I don't think that I even got 2 years out of them in light duty, before their I.R.s were through the roof.
