I feel like every question has been asked regarding Duracell batteries and Sanyo batteries, but here's one more. I have searched and found nothing about the new Eneloops being repackaged as Duracells. What I am looking for is there anywhere to tell if the precharged Duracells are still the older Eneloops or are they the nwere ones that can be recharged 1500 times ? I looked on the Duracell website and searched here with no luck.
Thanks for any help.

The newer eneloops have changed their design to have a very rounded positive button on top, quite dissimilar to the older style squarish button with four "vents" at the corners. So if you find Duraloops looking like the new eneloops with round buttons, then chances are they are the newer design inside. But last time I looked, I have not seen any Duracells like that.

Thanks for the info.
I did finally find one detail pointed out that, I didn't notice while staring at the Sanyo site. :ohgeez:

The new Sanyos have a gray top while the old ones were white.
