ENELOOP ????

[jrista]

Hello Surapon,

I use both the Eneloop and Imedion batteries for over 3 years on my flashes, and find both very good.
I charge them with an intelligent charger which has the functions to 'Break-in' new batteries (by charging and discharging a few times first); and to reconditioning old batteries. Mine is the Powerex brand, but I believe there are a number of these on the market.

Regards,

Aye, I purchased a battery charger and conditioner/reconditioner. Whenever I get a new pack of Imedions, I always run them through the pretest cycle to drain/charge a few times and prime them for maximum capacity, and minimize memory issues.

I'll have to see if I can find mine. My brother has a tendency to reorganize...so these days I'm always losing things. I got mine off of Amazon. It was the first one I ever purchased, so I didn't go for one of the fully featured ones that can recharge multiple battery types...I think this one just does AA and AAA, but it's simple to operate, works well, and maintains the quality of my batteries. These Imedions (which I think may actually be 2400mAh) just seem to go forever, and I don't use my flash much...so, I only haul out the recharger once every few months when one of them finally drains.


Anyway, if your a big rechargable battery user, I know that you can get C-cell and maybe even D-cell now as rechargables. I believe Imedion has C-cell sizes now. There are a couple real nice feature-rich chargers out there that support AAA, AA, C, D, and sometimes even odd sizes like the CRs, all in a single unit. Some can charge only four batteries, some can charge up to eight or twelve. Anyway, I'll see if I can find some links.

[Brand B]

Eneloop = Long time ago made by Sanyo ( Until ??), Now Made by Panasinic, which made 3 level of Eneloop.

Just FYI, Panasonic bought Sanyo a few years ago, so while the name is changed on the parent company, manufacturing may or may not have changed. Panasonic kept some Sanyo things in their product line where they felt they had a gap in offerings. Panasonic was already a battery mfr though, and may have migrated the production to one of their facilities, or rebranded their own rechargeables to take advantage of the brand equity, or . . .?

Incidentally, the same lithium ion cells are available from 2 other brands. One is Apple (for their keyboard/mouse/trackpad), and the other is Roberts (for their solar radio). I believe that they are supplied by Sanyo/Panasonic under contract to Apple/Roberts.

Edit: I of course meant to say Nickel Metal Hydride, I had been reading another thread and got my batteries crossed...
