  If you want to know first hand experiences with those batteries perhaps photographers would be good sources. Just google the brand/type and look up threads for and by photographers. :)

  I've been using Uniross Hybrio batteries for a few months now. Mukhang ok naman. Di ko pa natest gaano katagal ang discharge.

  You may also consider Ansmann na LSD.. Mejo mas mahal nga lang sa Eneloop pero so far, ok naman performance nya when used sa external flash

  I agree. Malakas gumamit ang photographers ng batteries because of their flash units.
  
  Still eneloops for me and LaCrosse chargers. Available ang LaCrosse locally.

  Bakit kaya 2 weeks na nasa storage yung batteries (fully charged when left sa storage). Tapos nung mayroon na kami shoot. Mabilis maubos battery. I think meron patay na cell sa 4 na battery. huhuhuhu
  Puwede kaya ibalik for warranty?

• pcruztemp on November 09, 2009 07:58 AM

  are those eneloops?
  
  check each one. mas maganda if you have a charger with individual charging bays like my unomat because it can help you diagnose
  
  or just get a 1 battery incandescent flashlight and a stopwatch

• pcruztemp on November 09, 2009 08:01 AM

  if you want to automate the process, use a charger with that function
  
  or macgyver, a one battery analog clock set up in series with a high drain load like an incandescent lamp

  magkano na ngayon pinaka mura eneloop aa 2000mah? saan po?

• tmcons03 on November 20, 2009 03:46 PM

  astig yang eneloop na battery, meron ako nyan AA 2000mah nung fullcharge ko halos 5-6 months bago ma drain sa wireless mouse ko, sabi kasi sakin pag naka stock raw ang battery na eneloop di sya na de drain so kaya etong eneloop ang binili ko dati, color while tong ang battery at blue ang text nito.
  
  natatandaan ko 700 petot bili ko sa isang set nito(4 na piraso sa isang set)

• tmcons03 on November 20, 2009 03:53 PM

  kung naka eneloop ka, wag ka gagamit ng charger na patae tae, kasi pwede niya sirain ang mga chargable batteries mo, yung charger ko sa bahay na nabili ko dati na kasama ng eneloop autoshutdown at may LCD display makikita mo agad kung mali ang salpak mo ng battery dahil tutunog at nakalagay "error", 4 ang cell ng charger ko, pag isa dun na full charge, yung slot na yun di na dadaluyan ng kuryente para di masira ang bateryang nakasalpak doon.
  
  mas ok talaga kung may LCD display ang charger para malaman mo kung drain na talaga ang baterya mo.

  magkanu yung me lcd na charger mga boss? me kasma na bang aa na batt un?

• tmcons03 on November 20, 2009 04:15 PM

  yung sakin 600 pesos bili ko, pang AA at AAA lang, sulit naman gamitin di nakakasira ng chargeble battery kasi pag puno na charge ng battery automatic off yung cell na yun na may fullcharge battery.
  
  di kasama ang battery

  anu po brand nung charger? meron ako nkita sa vmall 1300php 2pcs eneloop aa batt with quick charger pero wala lcd.

• pcruztemp on November 20, 2009 07:46 PM

  please back read people. we do not recommend the eneloop charger because it looks like its not smart, as has been said many times before. but we do highly recommend the eneloop battery. Sa abroad meron eneloop smart charger pero wala sa pinas
  
  i use a unomat charger. 1000 pesos, smart, with lcd, no refresh function, 4 free AA unomat batteries (nimh only not lsd nimh)
  available sa electronics botique

  e boss paano ba malalaman kung smart charger mabibile mo? first time ko lang kase bibile ng rechargeable batt para sa external flash ko. eneloop batt po talaga ang bibilin ko. yung charger e hinde ko po alam.

• pcruztemp on November 21, 2009 09:24 AM

  please back read people, the definition of smart charger has been posted before and several ways to see if its smart or not have been posted like :
  
  1. RTFM!!!! Yes believe it or not, reading the frigging manual or even the frigging box can tell you. If you havent bought it yet, just go to the manufacturer's website and see the specs or even download the PDF manual. There may be certain code words like
  
  1.a. negative delta V, sometimes abbreviated as -ΔV. The triangle means delta. basahin nyo nalang sa wikipedia kung ano ang ibig sabihin nito
  <click here for link>
  
  1.b. timer. Kung meron nakasulat na "timer" or "timer shut off" and wala ang ibang indicators, malamang dumb
  
  1.c. look for charging tables. If meron table na so and so MAH takes so and so hours to charge, be very careful because real men dont compute, they just plug in the charger and the smart charger takes care of stopping the charging.
  
  1.d. the dont ask, dont tell policy. If the packaging or the manual says NOTHING about it being either smart or dumb, then assume its ghey ... este ... assume its dumb. So for every charger, assume its dumb unless the instructions say so
  
  2. test it yourself. a smart charger will detect if the battery is full and stop. This is easier if the charger has individual charging channels. This is the main disadvantage of the powerbase 4AA smart charger versus unomat chart charger. The unomat has 1 channel per battery, the powerbase 4aa has 1 channel per 2 batteries but the powerbase 2AA has one channel per battery
  
  2.a. charge 1 almost full battery and one empty battery and measure the time needed to full charge or for the charger to stop charging. Obvious kung ano ang mangyayari kung smart
  
  2.b. charge an empty battery, measure the time it takes. unplug charger and remove battery. Wait several min for it to go to room temp. Charge it again and measure the time. Dapat few min lang

• pcruztemp on November 21, 2009 09:26 AM

  3. price of the charger minus the price of the included batteries. kung mura malamang dumb. the going price for 1 eneloop AA is 150+ pesos
