Sanyo Eneloop vs. Panasonic Eneloop? Are they both the same or is one better than the other?
1703919
Yes, Panasonic acquired a controlling interest in Sanyo in 2009, before even the second generation Eneloop batteries were released. Panasonic branded Eneloop batteries are for all intents and purposes Sanyo batteries, and vice versa, although it should be noted that the Panasonic Eneloops are functionally 4th generation Eneloop batteries, and are liable to have slightly better performance than Sanyo branded batteries. When in doubt, check the model number on the cells. Those labelled HR-XXXX are earlier 'Sanyo' models. Those labelled BK-XXXX are more recent Panasonic models. Mind the Pro and Lite varieties. They more specialized variants that may or may not suit your needs better.

Too bad ! I just bought the Panasonic! Also this didn't have a name? China? Good ones came from Japan

Any high quality rechargeable AA battery will provide 300 to 400 photos per charge outdoors, without flash. Talking a lot of flash photos will cut that number in half. The Sanyo Eneloop AA battery provide exceptional performance because they don't lose their charge in storage. You may be able to get up to 500 photos per charge with Eneloops. That means you can go on a trip with an extra set of Eneloops and take up to 1,000 photos before you need to charge.Because each set can be recharged hundreds of times, it is possible to take more than 50,000 photos with a single set of Eneloop batteries...although I doubt many cameras ever last for 50,000 photos.

Go for the panasonics. They are cheaper and actually sound much better. These headphones sound notably worse and are less comfortable.

See my Customer Image for this product page. The Duracell Pre-Charged cell with 'white top' is equivalent to Sanyo eneloop (made in Japan). The one with 'black top' is equivalent to Rayoyac Hybrid (made in China). Most people seem to prefer the 'white top'. But both versions are good in my opinion. Be careful that Duracell also sells ordinary NiMH cells with very similar 'Copper Top' color scheme. Make sure that your cells actually have 'Pre Charged' printed on them. The ordinary NiMH cells are not worth getting, since they all suffer from rapid self-discharge problem.

These are indeed the latest generation Eneloop available in the US. There is a 4th generation available in the Asian market that is labeled as Panasonic Eneloop, for Panasonic is now the parent company of Sanyo. The 4th generation cell is apparently good for 2000 cycles (recharges), whereas the 3rd generation is rated for 1800 cycles. Eneloop batteries are availble in different colors on a limited basis and I have seen the blue cell that you are referring to. There is also an Eneloop lite version that is blue, but is lower capacity. I have purchased a number of these 3rd generation cells from MYBATTERYSUPPLIER through Amazon and have had great results in high performance LED flashlights. I highly recommend them.

Denon does not have plII dsp modes. It runs quite less hotter. It has assignable triggers rather than only a second zone trigger. In my case, I wanted a dc trigger for my main zone sub to turn it off and on remotely, otherwise it won't turn off for 15 minutes. Onkyo didn't have a main zone trigger. Onkyo runs EXTREMELY HOT, but is perfectly safe. Onkyo has easier networking setup (for noobies). Onkyo's customer service is quite easier to deal with when calling in. Denon's denonlink has some flaws many will encounter. Onkyo's power supply is bigger, allowing for more headroom and depth, but most people not very audiophile will notice at all. SO far, these are the only real comparisons that are worth thinking about, the rest are most likely things you won't use. If you're an audio guy and will be running most everything straight to your hd tv for video and let the receiver handle the audio via optical out of the tv, then I highly recommend onkyo for the big $$$ savings and still the same if not better audio performance, isnt that what you are buying it for?!?!? LOL. If you are foolishly looking for a non flagship receiver to have the best of both, you will not be able to beat a good tv video chip in deinterlacing or video performance with a non flagship reciever. Only flagship recivers costing plenty more include top of the line video processing, such as a yamaha z7 (running a couple grand of curse). That receiver had a perfect video test score with all benchmark tests and ridiculous audio performance close to denon's flagship combo (about $10,000 with the processor and amp).

That energizer charger will charge your batteries at too high a rate and reduce both the life and number of cycles of your batteries. The Panasonic charger that is often sold with these batteries will charge your eneloops at the correct rate recommended by both Sanyo and Panasonic engineers to optimize the life of your batteries, (300mA for AA and 150mA for AAA).

Samsung and Panasonic use the same type of glasses (Active Shutter - RF). I bought inexpensive Samsung glasses and they work well. The SainSonic work well over regular glasses. I had a hard to sync the glasses to the TV, but once I got it working they worked fine. I have no experience with the more expensive Panasonic glasses.

The Sony charger is much better than the one included in the Sanyo eneloop 4-pack deal, because it charges faster and accepts universal AC input. So my recommendation is: Buy the Sony charger, then stock up on lots of eneloop or other low self-discharge batteries (the Kodak Pre-Charged is only $7.88 for 4-AA at WM).

We are sorry but Panasonic does not state that these can be used with the older Sanyo chargers.

I use only Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries & charger system. They are great w/ long life per charge.

I've been using eneloop generation 1 batteries in my panasonic cordless phones for 6 months. No problems; never expected any anyhow.

Based on similarity between their electrical and mechanical characteristic, I am confident that those AmazonBasics High-Capacity batteries are just rebranded Sanyo eneloop XX (2500mAh) batteries. Note that Panasonic just introduced a new "eneloop Pro" battery rated at 2550mAh, but it is priced 2x higher.

I have been trying 4 AA sanyo eneloop batteries with the included C plastic holder/adapter. I worked for 2.5 weeks and then needed to be charged. Not too happy with that time frame, but it does eliminate the buying of C batteries. The eneloop have a unique chemistry, they work at lower fridge temperatures.

The Panasonic charger that is often sold with these batteries will charge your eneloops at the correct rate recommended by both Sanyo and Panasonic engineers to optimize the life of your batteries, (300mA for AA and 150mA for AAA). Just get 3 of these simple and cheap chargers! Plan ahead and have other charged batteries on hand...fans of "fast charging" will NEVER get the maximum capacity, performance or life span that slow charging batteries can give you.

I went with the Panasonic. Got it yesterday. I'll report back for those interested.
