upgraded Eneloops

[csshih]

damn.. those colored eneloops look great.

buy 2 packs, then you can match cells for your 2 celled lights easy.

Very frustrating :sigh:

group buy perhaps?

Re: Using all 1500 cycles? Gimme a break.

Ansmann came out with a 2500 mAh LSD. I posted it here in the Battery section but not a single person replied.

"GS Yuasa" (according to what i read on the web, is the one who makes those OEM LSD batteries for Panasonic, Uniross etc) is also rolling out its "EniTime" 2,500 mah AA LSD this year..

2,500 mah sound good, real good if it discharges like the Eneloop.

Thanks for the info Sugarboy! The Ansmann version is already available here in the Philippines but I have to buy it at the distributor's warehouse it's not yet in the malls. Too lazy to go there at the moment.

I wonder about the robustness of these cells, though. From discussions in this forum, it seems the tighter internal packaging of higher capacity cells is part of what makes them less tolerant of abuse and generally more trouble-prone.

I, for one, am as pleased as can be with my current one and two+ year old Eneloops, as is.

I could be wrong, time will tell, but I suspect that when (and if) we see a true 2500mah LSD AA that works as well as an eneloop, it will be an eneloop.

I am doing a self discharge test with 750 mAh LSD AAA enitimes. The self discharge is in the LSD realm, but not in the same level as eneloop. I wonder how they can do a LSD with higher capacity without worsening the self discharge. We need some tests !!

Man, this must have been created by the Yuasa division of "How close can we tread to the look and sound of "Eneloop" and not have a lawsuit slapped on us?" I bet more than a little thought went into the "Eni" part of that label! Catchy sound, though: "Any Time."

Send me your white eneloops. I'll be happy to use some crayon on them. If you'd like, I can dip them in cinnamon and nutmeg too. 🙂

LOL funny stuff! They could have come a little closer to the Eneloop name by using Ene instead Eni, but would have lost the "any time" sound.

BTW, notice the gigantic NC-TGU01 box to the right (that is the charger that charges 2xAAA, 2xAA, 2xC and 2xD, C and D beeing the new high-capacity eneloops and not the spacers).

Bold emphasis mine. No way I'm the only one who noticed that statement... right?

those rare EniTime cells are dirt cheap here in Hong Kong (it's sth like 55HKD=7USD for a pack of 4 x 2,100 mah AA), but i don't think anyone is buying tho (Sanyo Eneloop *rulez* all battery stores here)

There are (relatively) new C-size eneloops rated at Min. 3000 mAh and D-size eneloops at Min. 5700 mAh.

Ah ha!... now I remember. My brain sometimes, I'm tellin' ya'.

I had even read the original thread last year. No wonder why no one was jumping all over this as if it was news.

Thanks, guys!

What i want to know is, where do you stick the battery in the dog to charge it? 😗

As for a group buy. I suggest we buy a butt load of colored ones and then people can buy the amount in the color they want. First come first serve and all that.

I"m sure we can find someone in japan to send them here.

As for the no shipping policy. It's prolly 'cause they're batteries. UPS and fedex have similar stuff in the US and ask you if your package contains batteries if you ship, say a camera.

Any news on when these are coming to the U.S.?

Nope, and when you consider that the Eneloop C & D cell were released over a year before the Eneloop 1500 cycle cell, and they're not even here yet, we probably shouldn't hold our breath.

 

[TorchBoy]

Is this delay because of production run volumes?
