Customer Reviews of Duracell Rechargeables StayCharged AAA Batteries, 4-Count

Customer Review: An eneloop by any other name...
Summary: 5 Stars

[Updated Dec 21, 2008]
I was only half-right when I boldly proclaimed that "Duracell Pre Charged AAA are rebranded Sanyo eneloop cells" in my original review. It turns out that the first batch of Duracell AAA cells I bought from Amazon are made in Japan, and those are identical to eneloop (both mechanically and electrically). But lately I bought some more Duracell AAA from a warehouse club. Those are made in China, and they are identical to the Rayovac Hybrid (see my scan in the Customer Images section). Note that the Rayovac Hybrid AAA has an average capacity of about 780mAh (compared to about 830mAh for eneloop AAA), so is not as good a value.

[Original review follows]

Judging from similarity of technical specifications and physical shapes of (+) and (-) terminals, I am convinced that the Duracell Pre Charged AAA cell is actually Sanyo Eneloop AAA underneath a different wrapper. Therefore all the good things you heard about eneloop apply to Duracell 'Pre Charged', too.

My own testing has shown that the average capacity of eneloop and Duracell AAA cell is slightly above the claimed 800mAh. The Rayovac Hybrid AAA is usually cheaper, but its capacity is slightly below 800mAh. Both brands are able to retain at least 85% of their charge after three months of storage. Just pick whichever brand is on-sale, and you can't go wrong (but don't foget to factor in shipping cost in your consideration).

Also please be reminded that as long as you get a good 'smart' charger like the Duracell Mobile Charger CEF23DX2, you can use it to recharge any brand of rechargeable NiMH AA/AAA cellls. It is not necessary to only use a SANYO charger to recharge SANYO eneloop cells, for example.

One small problem with the Duracell 'Pre Charged' cell is that: it looked too similar to the well-known 'Copper Top' alkaline cell. So there is a good chance that people may mistaken it for a disposable cell. Personally, I prefer the distinctive-looking white case of the eneloop cell.

Description of Duracell Rechargeables StayCharged AAA Batteries, 4-Count
