Eneloops are made in Japan by Sanyo, who is now owned by Panasonic
(I didn't know that until now). Energizer AA Ni-MH cells are also made in Japan by (?). Are the Energizer cells re-labelled Eneloops?
Energizer Ni-MH 9V batteries are made in Germany.
Recently I accidently bought cheaper Energizer AA Ni-MH cells "on sale" but they are new Lite capacity 1400mAh cells at the normal price. Maybe they are Eneloop Lite?
Have you ever charged a Ni-Cad cell at the same time as a Ni-MH cell? The Ni-Cad gets cool and the Ni-MH gets warm while charging then they both get hot when still charging but are fully charged.
One of My Ni-Cad cells charged to about 1.7V yesterday but it is 1.34V today and has not been used. Maybe it has some a-FeS2O3 inside instead of rice powder.
