You should be able to see whether they are fake. If not, share a picture on our Facebook page: facebook.com/eneloop101

Should be fine! But it depend on the price you need to pay. I would prefer to buy the newest ones. But if they are limited editions from 6 years ago, they could be worth a lot more than normal Eneloops.

@@Eneloop101 They are not limited edition but price is half nearly. Do batteries life shortens by only time without charge ?

Correct.. They are still not availble to the US market. You could import them from EU Amazon stores if you wanted to get them. The difference is very small though. So getting the previous generation wouldn't hurt

Correct! They are available since April! Thanks for sharing!

Oh, it's a cheap (but nice) Casio AE-1500WH, which was a recommendation I got on budgetlightforum... and really like it.. very large screen

Hi, you can always share some pics with me, and I'll be able to help out... but you could be correct about the 'improvements' of copying

I honestly don't know..

The standard eneloops are always good! (white, standard 1900mAh)

That's possible.. also depends on the region

Amazing! They are truly good batteries :D

Our pleasure!

Unfortunately, that's impossible with new batteries. :) We'll have to wait for their details if they want to share, otherwise we'd have to wait a year/few years to get any user information

Eneloop pro is 2700 even. Typical 2600 for last generation.

Correct, still only available in the EU

Eneloops are the best!

No, those are 4th gen. They start with 4MCC, and the new ones start with 4MCD (third letter is a D, instead of the C of the 4th gen)

@@Eneloop101 so when is the 5th gen coming to the shelves to the United States and doesn't even really matter they're really good batteries anyway am I correct

@@THEPLANETEARTH Totally! Even the first gen Eneloops were great batteries. I don't know when they are coming to the US... They were just only officially announced in Europe a couple of days ago.

@@Eneloop101 so a while before they hit us

@@Eneloop101 hey mate can you please tell me when the enloops are coming to uk?

My pleasure!

That's possible. How about the other points I shared?

Unfortunately, there are so many variations, that it makes it difficult to check them all :(

Good question. These packages change from region to region, but that's definitely possible.

Never heard that before... Did you leave them in the sun?

@@Eneloop101 No I never leave them in direct sunlight. The problem is the outer shell of these Eneloops crack on several parts and the cracks get larger and larger. They crack arount the edges of the poles where it wraps around. However I live in an semi arid zone where it is hot and an flashlight with an NiMH battery in it can heat up in the air pretty quick. 100 degrees Fareheit are not uncommon here in the shadow. The wrap is definatelly metal with plastic outside as it seems. The metal wrap cracks and splits and one can peel it off over time. Little tiny splinters of metal one can pull off the cracks. These are every day use batteries. The one in box do this not. If the peel off gets worse it is normal to be able to stick an screwdriver between battery and wrapping where they join for about 5 mm. This is observed by other Eneloop users as well. I peel off the entire wrap and clean the glue and use the battery "nacked". The battery works as well like that just one has to make sure not to short it touching the rim and the + pole at the same time. The entire body is the - pole. Only the + knob is the positive. Don't bridge those parts. It works without the wrap as well in an Coast HX5 aluminum flashlight. It's not the glue what fails but rather the wrap itself splits and cracks just by ordinary use.

It depends on the mouse... They are all different

But still unreliable;)

Thanks

Thank you

Haha, thanks

oops... did you ask for a refund?

I can totally understand. It's sad to see people sucked in to believe they got great batteries but actually got knock offs

Yup, some people still sell them...

Good you knew before purchasing.

if you want a second opinion, send me a message on Facebook.. so I can take a look

Hi Dani. Keep in mind that you have to look at lifecycle vs capacity. 20% less is not 'good' they will probably die after a couple of recharge cycles.. so better stop looking at 'capacity' alone! These are rechargeables.. not disposables :D

@@Eneloop101 did you read + understand what I wrote ? // I said: "long time stamina" matters to me. // And "long time stamina" means recharge cycles + internal resistence // I don't care anymore whether brand new cells have R A T E D 2500 or only R A T E D 2000 mAh as long as the originals and the fakes do perform well // I am a customer by eneloop (panasonic) for 20 years ..... // But when the fakes ones (or eneloop's which another label on it) are good too (10-15% tolerance within labeled performance / cycles / stamia...and so on.....) and they do cost half of the originals...... = sorry

@@danizweifler6061 I understand what you mean. The thing is that out of the 4 batteries, the difference in capacity was visible. This means that you shouldn't be using them in series (or even parallel) with eachother because the will get deep discharged. That's mainly the problem with subpar batteries. When the deep discharge happens, the quality will deteriorate even faster! I admit I read your message briefly :(

They change per region!
