For the average user, Eneloop batteries offer a much more reliable solution and this is why we now sell more AA Eneloop batteries than all other AA batteries put together! In a nutshell the numbers game (mAh capacity) goes out the window unless you really hammer your batteries and are constantly charging them when used in extremely power hungry devices. If however you left the batteries in a device such as a digital camera, and came back to them three or four weeks later then the Eneloop batteries would now give you longer use because they will have held on to most of their power while the 2700mAh battery would have lost a considerable amount of charge due to the self discharge mentioned earlier. This very low self discharge characteristic is what makes the Fujistu and Eneloop low self discharge batteries so very popular with most battery users.Īs an example, if you charged a standard 2700mAh AA and a 2000mAh Eneloop battery and put them both to use immediately in a power hungry device then the 2700mAh battery would give you approximately 25% longer use due to its higher initial capacity. In fact, the higher the rated capacity of the battery, the faster the rate of self discharge becomes! An Eneloop battery on the other hand has a VERY LOW self discharge which means it can maintain its stored power for months and months on end. What self discharge means is that once charged, a fully charged NiMH battery is losing a small part of its charge on a daily basis even when not being used. The reason for this is simple and comes down to the 'self' or 'natural' discharge found in regular NiMH batteries. The low self discharge eneloop rechargeable batteries are by far the best choice. ![]() Don't for one minute think that you are getting a lesser battery simply because the standard eneloop battery capacity is rated at 2000mAH whilst regular NiMH AA batteries might be rated at 2300,2500 or even 2700mAh. Q : When should I choose between normal NiMH rechargeable batteries or eneloop low self discharge batteries?Įneloop low self discharge batteries are the battery of choice for almost every application. All our chargers and batteries pay for themselves pretty quickly. Once charged you use your rechargeable batteries as you would any other standard battery, the only difference is that after a few charges you are no longer handing over your cash for 'throwaway' batteries. Kind to your pocket - Kind to the environment. ![]() Rechargeable NiMH batteries are also very popular simply due to the fact that they are extremely environmentally friendly. Battery Logic : Buy once, recharge a thousand times. The fact that rechargeable batteries can be used again and again represents a massive saving over their useful life. The beauty of rechargeable batteries is that they can generally be recharged up to a thousand times and generally they greatly outperform standard everyday 'throwaway' batteries such as Duracell and Energizers in devices that 'eat batteries'. They are intended for everyday use and come in everyday sizes (AA, AAA, C ,D, and PP3) They are exactly the same size as the throwaway batteries you would buy in any High Street store or supermarket. There is nothing technical or 'specialist' about rechargeable batteries. Q: I'm New to rechargeable batteries, tell me a little bit more. ![]()
