SANYO announces the release of the upgraded AA- and AAA-size eneloop
SANYO Component Europe GmbH (SANYO) proudly announces the release of the new, upgraded AA- and AAA-size “eneloop” rechargeable batteries five years from the initial product launch. The new “eneloop” is able to be recharged approximately 1,500 times, a new milestone for the rechargeable battery industry, making eneloop the industry No. 1 .
Since the batteries were first announced on November 14, 2005, “eneloop” has become well-known around the world, as it has revolutionized the consumer-use rechargeable battery segment with its unique features: “rechargeable approximately 1,000 times”, “coming pre-charged, making it usable immediately after purchase”, and its unique design departing from the look of traditional batteries.
The latest breakthrough allowing “eneloop” to be recharged up to 1,500 times has been realized by applying newly-developed recharging technologies. In addition, the batteries get pre-charged at the factory by using clean energy generated from renewable solar power. However, the specifications of eneloop will remain as they are: Both types are having a nominal voltage of 1,2 V. The Mignon-eneloop (AA) has a rating capacity of 2000 mAh, the Micro-eneloop (AAA) does have a rating capacity of 800 mAh. SANYO will start selling the upgraded AA- and AAA-size “eneloop” in Europe from the beginning of June.
