Do yours have a "Made in" label on them? Might they be from Japan?Originally posted by: eelw
I love my Eneloops. For my Kodak digital camera, standard alkalines will only last 10 minutes when recording HD video. For 2800mAhr rechargables, I get about 30 minutes. But with the Eneloops, I have 1:30 hours.
I've had AA's from China, and AA's from Japan. The Powerizer NiMH AA's from China, despite having a higher capacity rating, tend to be about equal to the Japan Sanyo AA's I have (2500mAh Powerizer vs 1700mAh). The Powerizers also have a bad habit of outright dying - their terminal voltage drops to less than 0.10V, and their overall capacity drops to 500-700mAh. Hurray for Japanese quality control.
