Ene/Dura-loop roll call - how many?

[Locoboy5150]

I just placed an order for some more Sanyo Eneloop AA batteries yesterday and I had to do a double take when I suddenly realized how many of these things I now have. As of my order, here is the official count over here:

Duraloop AAs - 32

Eneloop AAs - 16

That's a grand total of 48 LSD NiMh AA batteries. Eight months ago I had zero so these things multiply like rabbits! I just love these batteries and I can't believe that it took me *that* long to discover them. lovecpf

I was wondering, how many Ene/Dura-loop batteries do you have at the moment?

I bought my first eneloops last Dec. along with some powerex 2700's mainly for my camera's and flash. Before that I owned a few energizers that doesn't even compare to eneloops/duraloops. But since I got into flashlights this past March, my batteries have multiplied. I now have:

Eneloop AA's - 28

Duraloop AA's - 8

Eneloop AAA's - 20

Duraloop AAA's - 8

I also have 44 more AA's (powerex, energizers, rayovacs, duracells) and 20 more AAA's. It's way more than I need but this has become an obsession/addiction and I just can't stop.....not yet anyway. :shakehead

i have built up slowly to:

duraloops AA= 12 every single one is in use
duraloops AAA=4 bought today so i need another flashlight.

if i feel like i need to buy a battery these are what i buy. i think they are well worth the money and they can be had here locally.

I may have a problem...

I bought some Duraloops (shortly after I joined here) once I learned about them.

Just before I bought them, I had purchased a Sanyo Eneloop charger (and 4 Eneloops) on clearance at Walmart cheap.

Now I have 32 AA Duraloops....and I just got 12 more in the mail.

O.T- which is better: duraloops or eneloops? Or is it just personal preference?

 

[spencer]

Eneloops and Duraloops are the exact same cell they just have different wrappers. Which one you get usually depends on availability and price.

 

[jack-n-barra]

Hi I have.

8 X AA eneloops

4 XAAA eneloops

I have never seen duraloops for sale in any stores that I hav been in here in Australia.

Are they better than the eneloop's ???

they are the same battery with a different wrapper. 'duraloops' have a duracell label

why does everyone have sooooo many? i just charge mine when i need to so i don't need more than the ones i have.

I have a lot of things that use batteries.

 

[Black Rose]

Eneloop AA: 44
Eneloop AAA: 12

Duraloop AA: 16
Duraloop AAA: 48

From now on, I will only be able to acquire Duraloops since Costco stopped carrying them.
Fortunately a national drug store chain puts the Duraloops on sale practically every month for $7 or $8 for a 4-pack.

why does everyone have sooooo many?

Almost all my lights are powered by AA batteries and all of my high quality electronic equipment like my Nikon F-100 camera and SB-23 speedlight are also powered by AA batteries. Two of my other hobbies are travel and photography, so I like to use just one type of battery (AA) when I leave home. Thus, I need batteries for my lights and camera equipment, plus spares for when the batteries go dead while I'm far from some place to plug in my charger.

Also, I'm into R/C and my radio (Futaba Magnum) uses AA batteries as well.

Eneloop and Duraloop batteries are like money. You can never have too much, though there are CPF members that have a *LOT* more of both than me! :D

 

[Black Rose]

CPF is the reason I don't have money :D

 

[fishinfool]

I think we all need to go to those 12 step Eneloop/Duraloop Anonymous meetings. :crackup:

 

[fishx65]

I've had 16aa and 16aaa Duraloops sitting in their packages for a few months cuz my same number of Rayovac Hybrids just won't die. On top of those, I got lucky at Target last month and picked up 8 more 4packs of Hybrids for $2.62 a pop.

 

[Illum]

I used to have at least 30 AA eneloops, maybe more...but after I sold both Mag85s and gave away a small assortment of AA lights I've dumped most of my cells each with 3-4 partial cycles at Co0p's house
now I think...2AAA eneloops
5 AA eneloops
no duraloops

 

[Burgess]

Eneloop AA: 42

Duraloop AA: 6

-----------------------
total of ---> 48

[calipsoii]

Eneloops:
16x AA
6x AAA

Duraloops: none yet, because I'm lucky and the little computer store down the road constantly re-orders new 4 packs of each type of Eneloop. He tells me I'm the only one who keeps coming in and buying them. I tell him he's the only store in the city that has any left.
