How can you check which eneloop is a “1st  Generation” or ” 2nd Generation” ?

All original SANYO battery packages containing the “2nd Gen” eneloop have the information “Up to 1500 times” on the front. Also you can differentiate the two generations by checking the model name which is written on each eneloop. The “1st Gen” cells have written HR-3UTG (AA) and HR-4UTG (AAA) on them, the “2nd Gen” eneloop HR-3UTGA (AA) and HR-4UTGA (AAA). Additionally the new models have a crown on them.

Whats new with the new 2nd gen eneloop?

Charge Once and Use Years Later – eneloop batteries offer exceptional shelf life so you can use your rechargeable batteries when and where you need them most. You can charge your eneloop batteries once, store them away for up to three years and use them at a moment’s notice. After charging eneloop batteries they will maintain 75% of their capacity for up to three years. They are ready to be used immediately right out of the pack.

Clean Energy – Great for the Environment – Each year, Americans deposit 8 billion disposable batteries into landfills! eneloop batteries can be recharged up to1,500 times, which means that the purchase and use of a single eneloop cell can keep many hundreds of batteries from entering landfills! eneloop battery cells are completely recyclable which reduces the impact on the environment. They can be recycled free of charge at any of the 50,000+ Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) recycling centers near you.

What is the difference between the “old” and the “new” improved eneloop?

SANYO’s advanced rechargeable battery technology allowing them to last longer than ever before! They provide excellent performance-to-cost advantages over both conventional alkaline and other rechargeable batteries. Unlike disposable batteries which can only be used only once and are wasteful to the environment, the new eneloop batteries can be recharged up to 1,500 times. They comepre-charged and can be used immediately out of the pack. eneloop batteries deliver reliable battery performance when you need it the most!

• An extra of 500 charging cycles – instead of being rechargeable 1000 times, the new eneloop is even rechargeable up to 1500 times.
• Improved self-discharge.  Even though the self discharge of the old eneloop was already very impressive, you can store the new eneloop for 3 years and still it will retain 75% of its capacity.
• You need a battery, which is reliable even when having cold temperatures? Before eneloop was suitable for temperatures as low as -10°C – now even until -20°C.
• The new eneloop is even more environment-friendly as it is pre-charged with solar energy in Japan.

The specifications of eneloop will remain as they are. Both types are having a nominal voltage of 1,2 V. The Mignon-eneloop (AA) has a rating capacity of 2000 mAh, the Micro-eneloop (AAA) does have a rating capacity of 800 mAh.

Rechargeable up to 1500 times.

Incorporating new technologies for material, manufacturing method and structure developed through the knowledge gained since the first release of eneloop the number of times a battery can be recharged has been increased by the factor 1.5 to approximately 1,500 times compared to the conventional models. With the ability to recharge the battery more times, the new “eneloop” is both more economically competitive and enhanced in environmental awareness as it means the amount of overall battery waste will be reduced.

Ready to use even after 3 years of storage.

Rechargeable batteries typically have a self-discharge characteristic which gradually reduces charged energy over time. This is considered the downside of typical rechargeable batteries. It renders them inconvenient since they can not be used immediately after being purchased, requiring the batteries to be charged to start using them and recharged if they have been left on the shelf for a period of time. Since eneloop batteries have a low self-discharge rate, they are pre-charged and usable immediately after purchase like dry cell batteries. The new eneloop battery continues this tradition by using SANYO’s original “super-lattice alloy” for negative electrode material and improvement of materials and structure, a fully-charged “new eneloop” battery can maintain approximately 75% of charged power even after 3 years, ensuring that power is available when needed.

eneloop – ready to use rechargeable batteries

Since its launch in November 2005 eneloop has become well-known around the world as it has revolutionized the consumer-use rechargeable battery segment with its unique features:

• rechargeable approximately 1,500 times
• coming pre-charged, making it usable immediately after purchase
• its unique design departing from the look of traditional batteries

Looking for wholesale eneloop’s ? we can help.

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.
