Eneloop batteries have a low self-discharge and are already supplied precharged. Not only that they are immediately ready to use after purchase, you keep your load over a long period of time. This means that after a year still at 85% of the capacity are available. In this way your device is always ready for use and guarantees that the energy required always available when it is needed. One of the most important requirements of a rechargeable battery is the life, that is, the number of charge/discharge cycles, a battery can withstand, without losing power. Unique is the biggest advantage of the eneloop, that you can use up to 2100 times and then recharged can be recycled. In the long term, this is not only cheaper, but also environmentally friendly.This text is machine translated.
