Eneloop Pro NiMH have pretty high energy densities. I've had some but
not long enough to given an honest opinion.


I've used the normal Eneloops in some very high demand tools
like the Culinare Automatic Jar Opener and they work fine there.


I've opted for the more expensive Eneloops. I did see the normal ones :-

I was a bit sceptical about the claim for 2100 chargings. Could be a typo.


I hardly ever charge mine. I don’t have much that uses them anymore,
just the jar opener and a couple of X10 remotes that get years on
normal AAs. All the scales now use coin cells that last for years.

The eneloops in the jar opener last for years on a charge.
