whats the big deal with sanyo eneloops

I haven't heard of these before but i just googled it.

Maybe we should ask if there is anyone experienced with these?

Lot's of experience on those in this forum. I don't use other batteries anymore with my flashes, these can hold their charge a lot better than usual re-charg-batteries. A little expensive, but i would recommend trying these!

I only use eneloops. These are the batteries you can trust.
They hold there charge almost complety, no surprises.

Slow discharge rate. No surprises when you load them into your unit and they have a charge. Typical rechargables rapidly lose charge while sitting around.

Best experience in my flash it seem to last fo eaver.

You need a slow charger such as "LaCross" to get the best battery life.

Rather than sitting in your bag for 90 days, and becoming fully discharged even when not fitted into a piece of equipment, like conventional NiMH batteries would deplete, the Sanyo Eneloop or Powerex Imedions hold their charge so they are ready to use even after 90 day idle time.

They are awesome! Buy some and a good smart charger and find out!

My experiences second wilt's.

* Compare to other standard NiMH rechargeable batteries, eneloop has higher voltage with no memory effect, meaning you can use, recharge, use, recharge, use recharge for roughly around 1,000 times before replacing them...

* These are low maintenance, meaning you don't need to "refresh" or "condition" them by time consuming process of discharge-charge-discharge-charge... As soon as you open a new pack, they're ready to be used...

* Very low low discharge rate while maintaining consistently high voltage...for as long as one year and even longer as long as you store them in relatively cool location...

* Excellent performer in very cold temperatures, so ideal for use while skiing and such winter events...

* Environmentally safer and economical sound...

they are awesome, it takes a long time for them to run down, I switched a while back and haven't looked back

To be sure, the tank holds no more, it is simply not as 'leaky' with the contained charge!

Like a lot of the others have mentioned they are ultra low discharge "second generation" nimh batteries. They come ready to use and last longer than "regular" nimh rechargable batteries. Costco usually sells a package with a charger and both AA and AAA eneloops at a great price. If you need more than that Amazon also has great prices on them.

Yeah I just picked up the ones at Costco last week. They are $28.99 and you get 2 4 packs of AA and 2 AAA and a charger.
