Might be some good info but the way this guy talks, I couldn't follow for more then 2 minutes.
Kinda seems like someone is trying to escape his skin at all times lol, nevertheless, the video was really good, lots of great info.

For about 5 years I've been using a combo of White Eneloops (2000mAh), White Amazon Basics w/ leaf logo (2000mAh), Black Amazon Basics (2000mAh) and that's the order I'd rate them.

I use them mostly for game console controllers and have found the Eneloops FAR outpace the Black Amazon Basics (possibly due to China manufacture) and do at least noticeably better than the White Amazon Basics.

Just some anecdotal info. I'm definitely gonna try the IKEA Ladda 2450 ones since it's assumed they are rebranded Eneloop Pros.

I value cell longevity and low self-discharge over capacity (mAH) for most of my applications. I have some 'duraloops' (Duracell rebranded eneloops) purchased at Shoppers that must be at least 7 years old and still going strong, without a single failure...

Also based on anecdotal evidence, but I seem to think that LSD batteries have greater longevity. I also think the guy in the video is onto something by measuring the mass of batteries. More mass might mean thicker electrodes, which should be indicative of greater longevity

How do these compare to the white versions of the batteries: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B007B9 ... UTF8&psc=1

They're twice as much for a little less than twice the cost. They seem fairly similar but the product description seems to include a bit more detail.

Is there any difference in the 2 products? Did I make a mistake buying the white ones?

Anyone know if any good deals for C type rechargeable batteries and charging unit? Those deals are harder to come across and not as common.

Why don't use the adapters with regular AA size?
I think the capacity might be less but is easier and cheaper to do.

I ordered from the listing that mentioned made in Japan just over a month ago and they sent me made in China batteries.

I returned them and bought actual enloops.

I see very recent reviews about people getting Made In China batteries and how it's not holding the charges. i'm going to pass.
It's too bad amazon did what they did. Bad decision, it's no wonder they are on "sale". I wouldn't buy it thought.

In the past, I have lots of made in china battery leaked acid and bulged in my electronics and remote, almost damaging my electronics. Don't trust it and not worth it.

I don't think the USB cord is for charging. It is for using it when that computer has no Bluetooth.
