Eneloop Pro's going bad

[ChrisGarrett]

Store Eneloop Pro batteries depleted is a good habit?

I see some people mention that they store the Eneloop Pro batteries discharged to prolong their health.
I was doing the opposite, stored them charged up, so I have fully charged batteries when I need them, as chargin up takes another 3h wait.

I have almost all first and second generation eneloop pros degraded. I don't think I used them much, maybe 50 cycles in their life at most.

I have a couple of sets of the latest Eneloop Pro generation, and would like to avoid they go bad while standing still.

Eneloop Pros last only 2-3 good years before internal resistance rises to the point that they are difficult to charge and self discharge at an even more rapid rate.

For longevity, keep them charged and buy standard capacity.

They're not older Ni-Cads.
