Best Place To Buy Eneloop's??
on: October 21, 2010, 09:05:35 AM
I am keen to buy some more Sanyo Eneloop batteries in particular AA & AAA.
There are some very cheap deals coming out of Korea & China on Ebay  :think: :think:.
Are counterfeit/knock off Eneloops common  :think: :think:
Can anyone recommend a cheap & legit Eneloop supplier  :think: :think:

Thanks in advance  :cheers: :cheers:

I bought mine from here, but they only ship to USA address. So I requested a friend to ship it to the Philippines.

You probably know this, but if you find Duracell rechargeables made in Japan that have white plastic on top around the terminal, they're rebranded Eneloops.  I don't know what the availability of Duracell is in Australia, though.
Half-ass done wholeheartedly!

I got some called Enepro and it seems there loads of decent cells that are similar now - shop around, ebay is a good bet too.

I can usually find white top Eneloop rebranded Duracells in the brick and mortar stores in my area.  If I cant, I buy Eneloops from Amazon.  The Duracells are usually cheaper.

You're looking for the pre-charged cells, w/white around the positive nub, and "Made in Japan".  The ones that say "Made in China" are believed to be Ray-O-Vacs.  The Ray-O-Vacs aren't bad, but not quite equals to Sanyos.

I checked some 'bricks & mortar' stores locally ; Japanese Duracells AA 4battery pack =$26aus/us  :ahhh :ahhh Eneloops AA 2battery pack=$11aus/us  :ahhh

Looks like I will be buying from Ebay  ::) :D :D

Any one know if there is any problem air-freighting AA AAA rechargeable batteries  :think: :think: I vaguely remember reading that some batteries were deemed unsafe for air-freighting   :think: :think: :think:

Shouldn't be a prob - I thought the issue was with Li chemistry  :think:

This is a good deal on Amazon  $17.60 for charger and 4 AA, I paid about $5 more about a year ago.

Theres also a photo of the black & white tops on that page, so u can see difference, dont know if they ship to Australia.

Wow...silly price in your brick-n-mortars.  I priced a pack at Wal-Mart today and it was 4 for $11.
