SANYO eneloop rechargable Batteries still hold 85% of their charge after 1 year
SANYO is the world leader in rechargeable batteries, and invented the next-generation nickel metal hydride battery ‘eneloop’..

‘eneloop’ is a product that proposes a new lifestyle - one without disposing of batteries. Once charged, it can be used repeatedly, and once used completely, it can be recycled. To promote this kind of new battery lifestyle, SANYO developed a world first rechargeable battery that can be used like a dry cell battery - ‘immediately after purchase’

Batteries have a property to release the stored energy in small amounts (this phenomenon is called ‘self-discharge’). This property is particularly noticeable in rechargeable batteries such as Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries etc. as compared to dry cell batteries, hence disabling rechargeable batteries from becoming batteries that ‘customers can use immediately after purchase’. For this reason, rechargeable batteries couldn’t be used unless charged after purchase and so lagged behind dry cells in convenience. This new product’s main property is that it has introduced great improvements in self-discharge properties (residual ratio after one year of non use is 85%*4, in temperature conditions of 20 degree Celsius according to SANYO research). Through this breakthrough development, SANYO has invented a rechargeable battery that can challenge dry cell batteries in user-friendliness through features such as making possible use immediately after purchase or once charged, its ability to be used anytime.

Other features of these inculude:

  • A rechargeable battery that is Immediately usable at the time of purchase - no need to initially charge. 

  • Comparatively more powerful and longer-lasting than dry cell batteries and superior
    low-temperature electrical discharge performance (Retains 85% of is charge after 1 year)

  • Economically more efficient than dry cell batteries, ‘eneloop’ can be used 1000  times
    over.
