Staying Power and Cost Savings
I stumbled upon the eneloop line through another website, and grew intrigued based on a multitude of solid reviews.  I'm no engineer, but I can tell you this: these batteries last.  I have a four-year old son who puts his electronic toys through their paces.  Not only do I find myself hunting less often for a screwdriver to open plastic battery compartments, but also I'm saving tons of money.  Seriously, I could track my spending on conventional batteries via my online banking account, I bought batteries so often.  Now, no more runs to the local grocer amid a cold snap because Alfie the Robot lost his battery-powered mojo.  With eneloops and a decent charger, fresh batteries are just a room away.<br /><br />Pros:<br /><br />Longer life than conventional batteries | huge savings over the long-term | long charge shelf-life (verified with charger) | environmental plus<br /><br />Cons:<br /><br />My sixteen pack order came with one storage case for four batteries--I wish they'd sent four cases.<br /><br />I will purchase Sanyo eneloop batteries again, and would recommend to anyone.
