Tread Sample

I purchased my first set of eneloop batteries from a dealer in Singapore in July so I could test the shelf life characteristics. My set of 4 were manufactured in May 2006. I tested the capacity of the batteries 9/14/06 and found that even after sitting a month at room temperature the batteries are at 95% - 97% of rated capacity.

I did see a launch of the batteries in Australia and it was a cold event at -13C. The reason was to show the batteries' low temperature performance. All the cameras they used at the kickoff were using eneloop batteries.
