If the description is accurate and they are 1700mAh then they are not eneloop
In fact in Rand McNally they wear hats on their feet and hamburgers eat people

I really missed the sales at SDM. With P&G coupon, I think they were as cheap as $3 a pack for the white cap. I did buy a couple of that black cap batteries that came with a charger. Amazingly they work fine.

Regardless if they are rebranded eneloops or not, they are low self discharge batteries so you'll get most of benefits of eneloops even if they aren't.

Yeah, I got many of the SDM Duraloops when they were on sales a few years ago...but now we have second generation Eneloops with double the charging limits and higher charge capacity...and I don't think Duracell is making any of those new generation Eneloops under it's brand anymore.

It was fun while it lasted...but anyway...AmazonBasics and the AmazonBasics High Capacity are basically second generation rebranded eneloops...so at least we have another replacement for the Duraloops....it's these new Amaloops! :)

If it's not a white cap it will not be rebranded Eneloops for sure...and they will be made in China instead of Japan.

Never heard of black-top Japan-made Duracells before.

Were they Duracells?

eneloops have more recharges available, so while panasonic does own sanyo (eneloop) these are not eneloops, i also used some of these batteries years ago before they were low self discharge, they were ok

The black top ones were made in China and came with a charger. Just saying those batteries aren't bad at all. They too hold a charge quite well and have pretty good capacity. I have quite of a few of those in use. Frankly, it is hard to tell that they are inferior to the white top ones. They too sold for ridiculously low price with P&G coupon.

Yes, I know that...and that is why I was telling him/her that I never heard of a black top back in those days by Duracell that were made in Japan...they are only made in China.

I never bought the black-top ones with the Charger (I have 4 or 5 Eneloop chargers already)...because I wanted the original Japanese ones. Besides the black ones were not getting very good reviews one by those who were using them/bought them.

So I stayed away. Why buy a Chinese made one when you can get the original made in Japan ones?

Also contains a post that clarifies black and white top battery
Ok, so that means that you got them from Staples...and by the way the black tops are not the regular Eneloops/Duraloops that we see as those always have white tops...so they are the high capacity Eneloops XX...that is why the are made in Japan. Just a clarification...but regular Eneloops/Duraloops always have white tops and are made in Japan....and the black tops of them are another Chinese brand.
