Eneloop AA Bulk Pack
These 16 batteries came packed in reusable eight cell holders rather than the throw-away retail pack shown. Additionally a pair of four cell holders were enclosed. The total package included:<br />16 AA batteries<br />2 eight cell holders<br />2 four cell holders<br />The cell holders are not the fancy ones but are a big improvement over having the cells roll around loose. I tested all the batteries using the break-in function of the MAHA MH-C9000 analyzer and they all exceeded the minimum specified capacity of 1900mah.<br />For the record, you can use the batteries right out of the package. I used the discharge function of the MAHA MH-C9000 at 100ma to fully drain all the batteries prior running the break-in function. All the batteries had around 1350mah right out of the box which equates to about 70% of the rated minimum capacity. In other words, if you're not obsessed with testing batteries like I am, you can take them right out of the box and use them.<br />My past experiences with rechargeable batteries were disappointing. They discharged quickly so that whenever I needed a battery I had to plan ahead and charge the batteries the day before I needed to use them. You could forget using them in something like a clock or an emergency flashlight because they would self-discharge to nothing in about three months.<br />These eneloops have changed all that. They will hold a useful charge for years and can be recharged 1500 times. They make the investment in rechargeable batteries pay off in a big way as well a making it convenient.<br />This is the rare opportunity to go green and save money without a big hassle.<br />I would recommend these for low and high drain applications.
