Eneloop - Dating Convention

[Bones]

For future reference, the dating convention for Eneloop cells appears to be the year, then the month, then an unknown.

For example a cell labelled 06-08-LN is from a package date 2006 - 08.

For a minute I thought the title of the thread meant for finding a gf/bf. :laughing:

My take on why we're still seeing cells manufactured in 2006:

Yes, as quoted manufactured 2007. They are marked '07-02R2'. Bought from in here Finland.

A report. One single CPFer has Eneloop cells made in 2007. Bones, your explanation is the best I've seen, but it still stretches the imagination to think they would have made so many all at once, that they're still distributing them a year and a half later.

 

[Burgess]

well, regardless . . . .


Let's hope Sanyo shows new, higher-capacity Eneloops soon.


SHOTshow2008, perhaps ?

We'd have to work our way through 2007 production of standard Eneloops, so it would be about 2010 by the time we got to the new ones.
