I dont have prime so ebay is cheaper

You can get free shipping once you're over $35. Just buy something else that you would have bought anyway. This combo is what Costco used to sell. The adapters are good. If you like the batteries you can get a few more later.

A few years ago, I received an eneloop power pack as a gift. (Mine came from Amazon.)

I've been very happy with it. And as it came with its own charger and carrying case, I've found the form factor very appealing.

You can find a powerpack review here.

Best of luck,
Uno

'Made in Japan' Duracells are Eneloop rebadges. I actually have more of those than actual Eneloops in use.

I was told about these eneloops recently and while searching slickdeals I came across some amazon brand batteries. Which would you recommend?

I bought 2 sets of eneloops for my flash. I'm not sure if they're magic or not but I've had them for a while and taken a lot of pictures and still have yet to use up the first set. I thought I was going to have to rotate these things regularly and keep charging them.

I wish I kept count but compared to my buddies Chinese knock offs these are night and day. I repeat - I have not even drained the first 4 and have taken a lot of pictures.

Costco has a big pack of Eneloops too. I just saw it the other day.
I already have enough of them though.

I vote Eneloops since I like them and have no experience with Amazon's.

Flashlight forums love the Eneloops, best deal for LSD low self discharge are the ones from Ikea called something like Ladda (means charge in Ikeanese), about $6/4 pack.

some of the amazon rechargeable's are older(second gen?) eneloops, look for NLee's reviews.
