Low self-discharge - the key-advantage

What makes the eneloop unique?

The key-advantage of the eneloop compared to conventional rechargeable batteries is its extremely low self-discharge. Once charged eneloop keeps its charge even if you store it for 3 years. (85 percent of the charge after 1 year, 80 percent after 2 years, 75 percent of the charge after 3 years)

For a rechargeable battery this is a revolutionary advantage.

No more worries about the state of charge of your battery.

Just charge them and keep them.

Even after months in storage you will still have an almost full battery.
