Paul,
I posted two different threads . The high capacity XX ("crossover
Eneloops") are what this thread is about.
The "improved" Eneloops posted about in the other thread indeed are 75% at 3
years,while the XX crossovers are 75% at 1 year.
To confuse things still further there is another new product the "eneloop
Lite" The "Lite" has "much" faster charge rate, higher cycle life (2000 vs
1500) at lower cost but a lot lower capacity (1000mAh)
