  Great batteries… though USB chargers tend to take a long time to charge NiMH batteries.
  50% off so pretty good deal.

  postage kills the deal IMO. was $6 for me; might be better for others. if postage was a tad cheaper i would have jumped at it. im gonna hold out for the wall charger eneloop bundles to be on special i think…

  just bought it, but it says do not connect to other equipments to other USB ports while charging…what's the point of this then?

  Nice one OP. just grabbed one around the corner at my local DSE. Might want to put that it ends tomorrow though.
  Very handy for holidays traveling etc.

  Seems they are only 2000mAh capacity assuming that they are the same as the link below.
  I just couldnt see any markings on the packet in the photo

    The eneloops are definitely 2000mAh. But, they have a very low internal discharge, so they'll retain most of their charge even after a year. Other rechargables will lose half their charge within a month or two, and lose much more capacity after 3 or 4 recharges. I'd certainly prefer using the eneloops, over regular 2400-2800mAh AA batteries. Plus, the eneloops are advertised as capable of being recharged 1000 times (1500 times for the newer version). That's an extremely high rechargeable count.

  can i plug this into a usb wall charger?

  • 

    kirt on 21/05/2011 - 17:57

    I would say almost certainly yes, but if not, take it back to DSE ; )

    Yes you can.
    If you have the USB wall charger with 5V === 1A or > 500mA, this will do.
    With smaller than 500mA, it will damage the adapter.

  These batteries awesome, I bought some during xmas and they last ages per charge. On a plus note, I later bought a 4x AA + charger pack (also eneloop) for $19 from Retravision Springwood. Excellent bargain.

  Additional information:
  1 charge cycle allowed me to roughly finish Metroid: Other M on the Wii
  1 charge cycle allowed me to finish Lara Croft Guardian of light on the XBOX (plus occasional watching naughty divx's) and its still not flat.
