People have asked me why we are selling Sanyo eneloop batteries on a green products e-commerce web site? That’s Easy. 1 eneloop = 1000 alkline batteries. And Sanyo has made sure they are recyclable. If you are in Santa Barbara bring in your old NiMH or orther rechargeabel batteries to 2941 De La Vina and we will recycle them for you. eneloops are the best all around NiMH rechargeable battery we have ever used, when we found them we decided to make a mission out of getting them to the public. They do cost a bit more than other brands of rechargeable batteries but they out last all of them by leaps and bounds. So eneloops are green because they help reduce the amount alkaline batteries in landfills polluting the earth.

Long Storage Life: Batteries have a property to release the stored energy in small amounts over time (self-discharge). Improvement in self-discharge characteristics enable eneloop to be “ready to use out of the package” and to have long shelf life. It keeps 85% of the initial charge after 1 year, so it can be used now or as an emergency battery.
