Sorry if this has been posted before but I couldn't find any reference to this in the last 5 days.

A CPF topic last year. Type "eneloop recharge 1500 times" in google search, cpf only, at the top of every CPF page.

I vaguely thought I'd read about this before. Sorry, I don't visit much these days.

Anyway, perhaps this press release means that these new Eneloops will be available in Europe very soon now.
