SANYO eneloop (HR-3UTGA / HR-4UTGA)

I switched to rechargeable battery after having my first boy 3 and half years ago. Almost every piece of toys that my wife and I bought for him was using battery. We spent a good amount of money on disposable batteries.

I have used Energizer, Sony and the old SANYO eneloop (HR-3UTG / HR-4UTG) for many years now. The SANYO eneloop batteries are great. I don’t have to recharge that often and no memory effect what so ever. Others, I have to recharge every times I want to use them.

A few months ago, I was looking to buy more of the old SANYO eneloop and found out that they were going to release a new version of their eneloop.

They’re finally here.

Here is the comparison of the old and new eneloop (from SANYO website):
