Eneloop Rechargeable Batteries Tacoma WA

Today, the best rechargeable batteries are the new hybrid Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) cells. These hybrid batteries have a lot going for them: they come fully charged (like alkaline batteries), and they can hold their charge over many months (unlike regular Ni-MH rechargeable). Because they can hold their charge for so long, they are suitable for low-drain devices like remote controls and flashlights. But they are also ideal for use in high-drain electronic devices like digital cameras. Please scroll down to learn more and get access to the home electronics stores in Tacoma, WA listed below.

Eneloop Rechargeable Batteries

Eneloop Rechargeable Batteries

June 8, 2009   Barrett Brown


Rechargeable batteries rank high on the list of those little things that you’ve been meaning to integrate into your life, but which, due to some off-putting inconvenience, you simply haven’t; in this case, the fatal drawback has been self-discharge, the inevitable loss of energy that occurs among rechargeable batteries even when not in use. In your defense, a battery that comes without a charge before you buy it and which gradually loses it afterward doesn’t exactly qualify as a hot consumer item anywhere outside of the Soviet Union circa 1983.

Thus it is that we’re understandably hyped about Eneloop, SANYO’s vastly-improved take on the rechargeable battery. In contrast to its more leaky counterparts, the Eneloop retains about 85 percent of its charge after a year of storage, making it every bit as convenient as those dirty Duracells in your kitchen drawer. And then, of course, there are the advantages that put rechargeables on the market in the first place - an Eneloop can be reused hundreds of times, thereby sparing the planet hundreds of alkaline batteries worth of leaked mercury while also sparing you, the battery aficionado, from having to buy hundreds of the damned things in the first place.
