OSAKA (Kyodo) Panasonic Corp. has successfully completed its tender offer for Sanyo Electric Co. shares, paving the way for turning its smaller rival into a subsidiary this month, sources said Wednesday.
The deal should result in creation of one of the world’s largest consumer electronics conglomerates.
By making Sanyo its subsidiary, Panasonic is expected to begin full-scale cooperation with the company on rechargeable batteries and energy operations.
At the same time, reorganizing overlapping operations, including the manufacture and sale of appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines and audiovisual equipment, will likely be among the key issues to be resolved, the sources said.
The tender offer was concluded following an application for a majority of Sanyo’s outstanding shares, they said, adding that the result was to be formally announced Thursday.
Panasonic is set to announce early next year a new business policy for a three-year period beginning in April in which the company is expected to state that expanding energy business will form the core of its operations, they said.
Panasonic sees solar batteries and lithium ion batteries as products that will produce a synergy effect. Under their partnership, Sanyo is expected to utilize its technology to produce solar batteries while Panasonic will handle sales.
With the rechargeable lithium ion battery business for cars likely to expand, the two companies intend to heighten their global competitiveness by blending their respective technologies, the sources said.
To ensure a smooth partnership, Panasonic will send several of its executives to Sanyo. Both companies have agreed to maintain the Sanyo brand for the time being, but Panasonic is highly likely to seek to streamline operations including reducing the number of Sanyo personnel, the sources also said.
Panasonic announced the plan to make Sanyo a subsidiary in November 2008, saying the tender offer would take place last spring. The delay in achieving the goal was mainly due to difficulties in clearing antitrust laws in countries where Panasonic and Sanyo operate.

eneloop rechargeable batteries currently do not come as a C or D cell, yet. (read this for info)
They do offer the adapter shells. Some people have great success with these others report back that they seem not to work at all.
Tips, for using the eneloop D and C shells.
1. Make sure the AA battery is completely inserted into the Spacer / Adapter. The Small tip of the eneloop (positive) needs to touch the extremely small ring of metal on the inside of the tip of the adapter.
2. In many case the AA eneloop battery bottom (negative) side is to small to touch the negative contact terminal in the flashlight or other devices .
Solution, Tape a washer or a penny to the eneloops negative side/ bottom of the adapter terminal after inserting the AA battery. This should then provide sufficient contact area for the device.
One of our customers recently sent this in to us. ( Thanks for the feedback !! )
“This may be a new one for you. I knew that I had pushed the AA battery completely into the D cell adapter because it clicked into place. I even pushed the two D cells together inside the flashlight housing to make sure they made contact. This is in a Maglight 2 D-cell flashlight.
Well, as I looked at the two parts of the flashlight I noticed the butt end with the wire coil that presses against the batteries was larger than the AA battery butt end in the adapter. Ah HA! I put a balled up piece of foil over the AA battery end and screwed the butt end of the flashlight on and, voila’! It works! So, it was simply the coiled end of the flashlight was larger than the AA battery so no contact was made. Please add this to your support notes for other Eneloop users who may run into the same issue.
BTW, I’m still very happy with this kit. If a bit of foil is all it takes to reduce my dependence on disposable batteries then that’s fine! I can reuse the same bit of foil over and over and over and over and…….”
We love to hear that about eneloops..  and yes they are worth any extra effort.

| Korg to Show eneloop Rechargeable Batteries at Musikmesse in Germany |
|
|
| 03/26/2009 13:22 (06:03 minutes ago) |
| The FINANCIAL — SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. (SANYO) will exhibit eneloop rechargeable batteries at the booth of musical instrument manufacturer, Korg Inc. (Korg), during Musikmesse 2009 in Frankfurt, Germany.
The eneloop battery uses the world’s leading recharging technologies and promotes a lifestyle that values reusing and recycling.
Korg, a leader in the electronic musical  instrument industry, will use the Musikmesse to further promote its best selling pocket-sized synthesizer, KAOSSILATOR, which operates using four AA batteries. Started over 25 years ago, Musikmesse is the world’s largest music trade show, and showcases instruments, sheet music, as well as music software and hardware from around the world, all under one roof.
Korg is also committed to addressing global environmental issues. At the Musical Instruments Fair held in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, in October 2008, the two companies held a joint event, where Korg equipped its KAOSSILATOR with eneloop batteries. Since then, Korg has in partnership with SANYO to investigate the technical performance of the eneloop battery as part of its desire to promote replacement of dry-cell batteries with rechargeable batteries in musical instruments. The investigation revealed that the stable voltage and resistance to cold temperatures provided by eneloop help to maintain sound quality. Eneloop combines outstanding environmental performance and superior compatibility with electronic instruments.
SANYO is working with Korg to offer musicians lifestyles with greater performance and environmental value, comfort, and enjoyment.

If you have visited Japan recently then you will know how popular electric bikes are over there. They are so popular in fact, that Sanyo has decided to install recharging locations for government civil servants to park and charge in the area of Tokushima Prefecture.
Sanyo chose this location as it is near a Sanyo battery manufacturing plant. Three of them will be constructed allowing bikers to pull in, plug in, and go about their normal daily activities before returning to a fully-charged bike. The stations will not cost anything to use and are fully automated requiring no on-location staff.
The parking stations have a roof covered with three solar panels of 210 watts each that help capture the energy required to charge the bikes. As a backup there is also an electricity supply in case there isn’t enough solar energy to recharge all the bikes connected to the station.
Local civil servants can expect to start using the stations in March.

Matthew’s Opinion
If there was better provision for cycling on our roads then I would consider using a bike. An electric bike would be even better allowing you to travel faster and with more weight. I think Holland leads the way with a culture of using bikes instead of cars; all of their roads have cycling lanes and many locals use them, especially for travelling around areas like Amsterdam.
Offering free recharging stations is a guaranteed way to get people to continue to use these electric bikes instead of turning to cars. The stations look to be quite green as well using solar energy first and then falling back on electricity when required.
If this experiment is a success then I’m sure it will spread to other areas of Japan. Whether it remains free is another question. These stations surely cost quite a bit to setup, so Sanyo may want to charge a daily rate for their use or offer a subscription service for regular users.

By Patrick Rial and Junko Hayashi
Nov. 1 (Bloomberg) — Panasonic Corp., the world’s largest maker of consumer electronics, will seek to buy control of Sanyo Electric Co. as it expands into the solar power business, the Nikkei newspaper reported without citing its sources.
Panasonic will begin negotiations with Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. and Daiwa Securities SMBC Co., the three biggest shareholders in Osaka-based Sanyo, Nikkei said.
Akira Kadota, a Tokyo-based spokesman at Panasonic, declined to comment on the reports. Hiroyuki Okamoto, a spokesman for Sanyo, said he isn’t aware of any such negotiations.
Goldman and the two Japanese banks hold about 430 million Sanyo preferred shares, worth 620 billion yen ($6.3 billion) and equivalent to 70 percent of the equity of the world’s biggest maker of rechargeable batteries.
The three bailed out Sanyo in February 2006 in return for the securities, which they agreed to hold until March 2009. They need Sanyo’s approval to sell the shares before then. Spokeswomen at Goldman and Sumitomo Mitsui declined to comment. No one answered calls to Daiwa’s Tokyo office.
Sanyo, the world’s leading maker of lithium ion batteries and the third-biggest solar panel producer in Japan, spent years losing money as competition prevented it from profiting on digital cameras and other consumer goods. The company refocused on rechargeable batteries and solar panels after the bailout, scaling back unprofitable businesses such as computer chips.
Solar Business
Panasonic is looking to expand into the fast-growing solar market, while batteries hold growth potential as carmakers move to develop electric vehicles, according to the report.
U.S. solar power installations grew by 45 percent last year, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. Sanyo plans to expand solar cell production capacity by 60 percent at a Japanese plant, Kyodo News said yesterday.
Sanyo, whose name means “three oceans,” also teamed up with Volkswagen AG, Europe’s largest carmaker, to develop a lithium-ion battery system for use in hybrid cars.
Panasonic has fared relatively better than Japan’s other electronics makers during the current global economic slump. Less reliance on overseas demand compared with rivals including Sony Corp., coupled with strong demand for appliances such as washing machines in China and other markets, helped support profitability. The company beat its second-quarter profit estimates on Oct. 28.
Combined projected sales of Panasonic and Sanyo for the year ending March 31 are about 11.2 trillion yen, according to company forecasts. That would surpass Hitachi Ltd. as the nation’s biggest maker of electrical equipment, and catapult Panasonic to the No. 3 spot in revenue among listed Japanese companies.

What is it that makes this rechargeable battery special?
(Click for review of eneloop rechargeable batteries by Cpfreviews.com)
Rechargeable
eneloop can be charged 1000 times, before it needs to be replaced.
1 eneloop = 1000 alkiline batteries. Think of the cost savings alone. Then think of how many alkaline batteries are sitting in a Landfill near you!. eneloops are recyclable after there useful life. Read below for the full story.
eneloop battery is delivered pre-charged to the store and is ready for immediate use following purchase. There is no need to charge-before-use.
Once the application has used all or some of the energy, eneloop can be charged like a conventional rechargeable battery, 1000 times, before it needs replacing.
Helping the environment
- eneloop is rechargeable/reuseable 1000 times
- eneloop is recyclable. Just call 1-800-Recycle
Download: eneloop technical specifications (27 kb PDF).
Retains Capacity… Even After 12 Months
Once charged, eneloop retains its charged capacity even after 6 or 12 months of storage
(90% of Charged Capacity retained after 6 months, 85% Capacity after 12 months).
eneloop is pre charged and is ready for immediate use after purchase, straight from the pack. Just like Primary Batteries. There is no need to charge-before-use.
Comparison of remaining capacity over time
eneloop lasts longer in comparison with dry cell batteries
Key advantages of Ni-MH batteries are still inherent in eneloop:g
for example, superior performance in digital cameras (four times more shots than with alkalines) and the excellent stability even at low temperatures, for example while skiing.
And eneloop can be charged with virtually all modern chargers for Ni-MH batteries.

- How long does it take to charge an eneloop battery in the eneloop 4-position charger?
From 4 to 7 hours.

From 2 to 4 hours.

Yes, the compact charger has world-wide voltage. You will need to purchase adapters to convert the plug to international standards.
- Can I use a “Quick Charger” to charge an eneloop battery?
Though it is possible to charge an eneloop battery in a “Quick Charger”, it is not recommended. We recommend charging eneloop batteries in a NiMh charger that is 2 hours or more. Charging eneloop batteries in a “Quick Charger” can reduce the overall life of the battery. It is strongly recommended to use eneloop, GE/Sanyo or Sanyo NiMh battery chargers. We only warrant eneloop if used with an eneloop, GE/Sanyo or Sanyo NiMh battery charger.
- Will my eneloop battery charge in any other charger other than the eneloop charger?
It is strongly recommended to use eneloop, GE/Sanyo or Sanyo NiMh battery chargers. Most NiMh rechargeable battery chargers may be used to charge eneloop, however we only warranty eneloop if used with an eneloop, GE/Sanyo or Sanyo NiMh battery charger.
- What is the number of charger/discharge cycles I can expect from the eneloop battery?
eneloop may be charged up to 1,000 times*.
*Estimate based on test results for battery life according to standard JIS C8708 (4.4.) Actual results may vary according to use.
- Can dropping the battery cause damage to it?
Yes.
- What does mAh stand for?
The (mA) stands for milliamps. The (h) stands for hour. This rating is in regards to the life of the battery, similar to the gas tank in your car.
- What does the terminology “memory effect” specify?
Memory Effect is a term used to describe the effects on the overall life of the battery when it goes through charge and discharge cycles. The eneloop battery does not experience the effects of “memory effect”.
- Should I store my batteries charged or uncharged?
If stored with charge, it is possible that when you return to use the battery there may still be some charge left in the battery, therefore it will enable you to use it right then and there. Also, by keeping some charge in the battery, it will require you to “cycle” the battery fewer times until it reaches its peak charge. If you store them with no charge, you will have to “cycle” the battery multiple times until it reaches its peak charge.
- Will the eneloop battery work with Nintendo Wii remotes?
Yes, the eneloop battery does work with the Nintendo Wii remotes. In fact they are a perfect fit for one another. They also work with any other type of remote that requires an AA or AAA battery.
- Where is the best place to store my eneloop rechargeable battery? Does it matter what the temperature is where I store them? Can they be stored in a freezer?
The best place to story any battery, rechargeable or not, is in a dry cool place, such as a drawer, under your bed or in a closet. Keep them away from the possibility of coming in contact with extreme high heat. It is recommended to store them at or around 72 degrees Fahrenheit. It is not recommended to store them in a freezer, as it is best to keep materials of this nature away from food products.
- What is the warranty on eneloop batteries and chargers?
