Re: Overview: All eneloop batteries; 2005-2014

Being a newbie, I'm thinking I might not have done well for myself with the charger I bought. It is wrapped in with 4 eneloop pros. The 2450mah or 2540...I'm not so memorized yet.
But the charger that comes with them is recommended to react to each batt individualy. Should it be sufficient to eliminate concerns. It's all Panasonic merch. Amazon sales. Pretty hard to know what's best until much reading here. Should I send it back? I got 4 pros for AA powered thrunite tn4a
With the 4 slot charger handling AA and A AA batts.


As long as they charge each cell individually (not in pairs), Panasonic smart chargers are fine - not a lot of bells and whistles and usually not the fastest, but very good basic smart chargers.

Like you, my Panasonic cordless phone uses standard NiMH rechargeable AAA batteries.

I don't think you want to use the Eneloop Pros. They do not have as many recharge cycles as regular Eneloops. In addition, you recharge a phone so often, that you really do not need (and would not use) the extra capacity.

Yup! Them's the ones.

Mine is actually running on Energizer NiMH Recharge batteries. I got them before I had learned about Eneloops. They have worked well. If I were shopping today, I would buy the 'loops.

I just noticed (not sure if it applies to all), my Eneloopsare just a wee bit longer than standard Alkaline batteries. Even my GP Recyko AA's.
I put the GP In my Nite-Ize Mini 3-in-1 and since the light uses a piston instead of a spring, itdented the bottom plate of the battery. I thought at first that maybe GP does not have as good quality control as Panasonic/Sanyo since Eneloops are the benchmark or standard when it comes to LSD batteries.
So I then put in an Eneloop, same result. Very tight and it would flicker. Doesn't happen with regular alkalines.
I stood the Eneloop and GP beside an Energizer and a Duracell alkaline. The rechargeable ones are ever so slightly longer.
I searched the stores today and upon a quick comparison (they were still in their packaging), it seems that the Fujitsu and Energizer Recharge Extreme Ni-MHs appear to be the same length as the alkalines. I bought the Fujitsu ones. Will try them out later after they charge.

Just the Disney ones for now. I think some Disney ones have pairs with the same design (mostly the Mickey and Minnie outfits) and some come with different designs per cell (the white wrappers with Disney symbols).
If not, I might settle for the glitter or earthy toned ones.

Anyone aware of upcoming special editions or any that I might have missed for the current generation? All I see are tropical tones and forrest tones. There have been some really cool ones in the past, ex. glitter, disney, rouge tones. I've been thinking about gifting special edition Eneloops to my tween nieces for Christmas.

[edit] I was able to locate the older generation Disney and Glamour special editions from Amazon for only a small tick up in cost from standard, shipping from Japan (on a slow boat by the delivery date I was given). Still interested to get an answer to my original question though about current gen special edition. I'm located in the US, but have friends in W. Europe that can bring me something like this if I asked, so those markets or available for US import. Thanks

In the past, they used to put new editions on the market in/around November, so Ive been looking at some announcements (in Japan) but havent seen any yet.. So they might put some new ones on the market in a few weeks...hopefully
