Self Discharge
Eneloop technology offers the following benefits:
Precharged and Ready to Go   Unlike traditional rechargeable batteries, Eneloop batteries are precharged and can be used immediately out of the package - no longer the need to go home and charge before use. Finally - the convenience of an alkaline battery in a rechargeable battery.                           Long Storage Life   While normal rechargeable batteries lose their charge over time, SANYO's Eneloop technology enables these batteries to keep 85% of their charge over one year. No more constant recharging. Eneloop can be left in your digital camera or flashlight and will be ready to go when you are. The world’s most user-friendly rechargeable battery.                             Take 4x more pictures!   Tests indicate that 4x more pictures can be taken with a digital camera with Eneloop batteries than with regular alkaline batteries. Eneloop can be used in a variety of devices including toys, MP3 players, electric shavers, portable video game players, etc.                           Recycleable and Environmentally Friendly   It is estimated that over 40 billion dry cells were disposed of worldwide last year. Eneloop rechargeable batteries represent renewable energy and can be charged up to 1,000 times! Imagine the reduction in disposable waste and thus the benefit to the environment. Furthermore, Eneloop and other rechargeable batteries are recycleable. A formal recycling system is in place whereby end-of-life rechargeable batteries can be dropped off at over 1,000 drop sites across Canada to be recycled. For details, go to www.rbrc.ca. Let's keep batteries out of our landfill.                           Economically Friendly   Eneloop can be charged up to 1,000 times. While the initial cost of rechargeable batteries is higher, it is clear that your investment is recovered after only a few charging cycles and the long term savings are tremendous.                           Higher Operating Voltage   Higher voltage means that Eneloop 2000 mAh batteries will have similar performance to 2500mAh conventional rechargeables.                           Memory Effect   Eneloop, like other nickel metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries, have negligible memory and do not need to be fully discharged before recharging.                           Compatible with Other Battery Chargers   Eneloop batteries are not limited to Eneloop chargers or any special proprietory charging technology and can be charged using other quality non-Eneloop Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery chargers.                           Low Temperature Operation   Eneloop maintains its low self discharge rate and stability even in temperatures as low as – 5 degrees Celsius.                           Special Storage Package (battery packs only)   Eneloop battery packages can also be used as a convenient storage case for your batteries.                           Foldaway Plug   Built-in foldaway plug eliminates the need for additional cords or wall adapters. Simply flip up the plug when you are ready to charge and foldaway when you are finished. Designed for convenient travel.                           Worldwide Use   Dual voltage (100-240) allows the compact charger ECCAA2 to be used around the world and it is ideal for worldwide travel. Note: Physical adaptor may be required to plug into electrical sockets outside of North America.
