As part of "Click Frenzy" they are actually a pretty good deal @ $14.95 if you click and collect to avoid shipping.

Btw, this is my first bargain submit, hopefully its ok

Edit: Smells a little bait & switch'y, … DSE advertise at $14.95 but as far as I can tell, (Sydney metro) NO stores have them in stock for pickup, so shipping is a must for $19.95 inc shipping. The sale should simply state "Free shipping" on the website.

Edit2: As per mbytes' comment below, its worth reading this article - http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?392229-Ja…. It seems Panasonic bought Sanyo, which is fine…but then they decided to move manufacturing to China… not so fine.

    was $2 from CTOD not long ago.

      That's if you include limited discount codes. In that case I got a completely free pack ;-)

  • starionx on 18/11/2014 - 19:23

    These are Panasonics, not Sanyo. BIG difference.

    • wired00 on 18/11/2014 - 19:25

      Your right, I've edited the title.

      However, I took your comment to mean they have changed for the worse? I believe the difference is that they are improved. Panasonic recently purchased Sanyo. The latest eneloops (4th Gen) are now built to more charges @ 2100.

      So doesn't seem like a bad thing?

        No i think he meant to say SAME DIFFERENCE

  • GregFiona on 18/11/2014 - 19:25

    One correction OP, these are the Panasonic Eneloops(not Sanyo anymore) :)

    • wired00 on 18/11/2014 - 19:38

      Thanks updated :)

  • katz on 18/11/2014 - 19:47

    So what's the difference between these and the older eneloops?

    • wired00 on 18/11/2014 - 19:54

      I mentioned above, nothing AFAIK, Panasonic bought Sanyo back in 2013. The 4th Gen Eneloops have been improved to 2100 charges you can read about them here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eneloop#Panasonic_Eneloop_.284t…

      Same capacity, same lifetime, same charge retaining. Can handle even more charges now. The only difference is the name change.

      • wired00 on 18/11/2014 - 21:15

        Damn, really interesting, so more importantly, its a case of panasonic (chinese made) vs panasonic/sanyo (japanese made). japanese panasonic and fujitsu's win

      • katz on 18/11/2014 - 21:56

        thank you!

        I assume DSE don't sell anymore JAP produced eneloops?

  • Starflex on 18/11/2014 - 20:00

    Uhmmm…. any difference between the white one and the choccolate (multicolour) one ?

    The following is a message I recieved from DSE when I asked about where the batteries were made from their last sale.

    Hi [name changed by me] Psychaotix, Sorry you missed out on our promotion. I suggest you visit our website regularly for updates on Eneloop Batteries. They are very popular and we offer great deals.
    I have also confirmed the Eneloop Chocolate batteries are made in China and the other colors are made in Japan. Thanks Amanda #DSHelp

    Hopefully that holds true for the most part.
    Psychaotix

    • King Tightarse on 19/11/2014 - 11:49

      Production of Australian market Eneloops has switched to China. That is true for all colors. Any Japanese Sanyo stock still available is old stock. Amanda is causing misinformation. Amanda is wrong. Amanda works for Dick.
      "Wrong" happens a lot.

      • Psychaotix on 19/11/2014 - 12:01

        Aw damn! I was hoping that things would be decent after that convo… it's really annoying to have a rep who should know better lie to you.

  • Donatello on 21/11/2014 - 11:17

    Accept the fact that any DSE Eneloop deals are now Panasonic branded.
