EneLoop NiMh Batteries: Precharged ??
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? Doing something wrong? -- Pete Cresswell |

I thought they lost charge in storage. This reference says it could be as much as 40% in a month: http://www.greenbatteries.com/nimh-b...lf%20discharge |

EneLoop NiMh Batteries: Precharged ??
Per Percival P. Cassidy:
I think they are charged -- but not fully charged, even when brand new. And how long does it take the charger to determine the charge state? The package was a dozen AAA batteries. 2 of them were charged up fully within an hour. 2 of them took more like 2-3 hours. Four of them are still on the charger after six+ hours. Four more are still in the box (charger only takes 8 batteries). Had a similar experience with the four AAA Eneloops I bought a couple weeks ago. I am starting to wonder about the charger - although it seems to have behaved normally for the year or so I have been using it on some AA NiMh Energizers. -- Pete Cresswell |

I've had too many instances of Eneloops that fail to charge in my Sony chargers. Lost my Eneloop chargers when my basement flooded. I went to the Sony Cycle Energy batteries and IME they are better. They hold a charge longer, and take more charges. None have failed in about 3 years. Better charger too. |

The Eneloop batteries hold on to their charge much longer, but not forever. Don. www.donwiss.com (e-mail link at home page bottom). |
