The packing says these batteries are "Pre-charged, ready to use".

But when I put them on my SunLabz NiMh charger, they're good for at
least an hour, sometimes more, of charging before the charger deems them
charged.

Am I missing something?


I thought they lost charge in storage. This reference says it could be
as much as 40% in a month:

That link is to regular NiMH. The Eneloop batteries hold on to their charge
much longer, but not forever.
