I was a skeptic
I had read about this product for a long time but was a skeptic that they would maintain their charge sitting on the shelf.<br /><br />But I have been converted. My use of these batteries is in my external flashes that I do not use a lot. But when a quick job comes up it's great to know that I can grab my flashes and know they will work. Before I had to stop and recharge the batteries before I could head out the door, delaying my shoot. Not so far with the Eneloop.<br /><br />I just got them so I have no idea how long they will last. My last set from another brand that I'll not name did not make it a year and remember I do not use these batteries all that much. So if the Eneloops last over a year I'll be delighted.
