Glad you're happy with the 'new' Eneloops. I can't find any info as to what the improvement is. They're still rated at 2000mAh. The new version has an 'A' at the end of the model # on the bat, and has a 'crown', whatever that is.dr3 said:Just a reminder of how well new eneloops perform in the LB, I have been using the same pair of eneloops that I ordered as part of a 4-pack back in September. Figured they were getting well-used after 2 months at my average of 2 charges a day. Just put in the new battery from the 4-pack and the LB heats up much faster and seems to keep up with a faster draw. I use a sony battery charger, waiting till the eneloops are almost completely dead (dim light on LB, no bars on charger) before recharging. Also I use the refresh feature on the charger about once a month. I am generally happy with the performance of the eneloops, but the new ones seem to work so much better.
The newest MAHA Imedions (what MF ships) are rated at 2400mAh, so I'd have to give that one the edge. The Eneloops, at Thomas Dist., are a little better buy though-about 30 cts. cheaper per bat if you buy a 16 pack.
