Why eneloop?

In this chapter we will look a bit closer at eneloop and ask, why is eneloop better than other batteries?

In particular we want to explain why eneloop is better than:

• conventional NiMH rechargeable batteries

• disposable alkaline batteries.

• We will explain why self-discharge is an issue to worry about.

• We will show that eneloop is as easy to use as a disposable battery

• We will show that eneloop has even higher performance than other

   NiMH batteries or alkaline batteries in certain applications.

• We will shed some light on the environmental aspects

• And last but not least we will have a look at the cost.
