It seems that my Eneloops, which I've been using for a good number of years, are not lasting as long in use as they have previously. My primary use for these is in a wireless Zoom H4N audio recorder. This device seems to consume power voraciously.
They still work fine, and give decent runtimes... but just don't seem to last long as they once did before needing to recharge.
Is this (shorter runtimes) the key sign that they have aged considerably and should be replaced?
It seems like I could probably milk more years out of them, but the frequency of recharging is beginning to annoy me a little.
ALSO.. are the Pro versions (with higher mAh) truly worth the extra scratch?
And... is there a competing product that's better than Eneloops, these days? (I don't need long shelf-storage time, I need long runtime.)
