Amazon sells the same thing, but this is about $5 less than Amazon, as Amazon (according to 3Camel never lowers the price from about $33). It's also a Top Seller on B&H, as well.
EDIT --- After posting this, looks like Amazon may have reduced the price to the same price as B&H. So, here's the
Amazon Link to the same deal. [amazon.com]
Key Features
Rechargeable up to 500x
Pre-Charged, Ready to Use
Holds 85% of Charge for 1 Year
No Memory Effect
This pack of Eneloop Pro AA Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries from Panasonic comes with a charger, and four pre-charged and ready-to-use batteries. They are not subject to any memory effect so you can charge them up to 500 times whether they are fully or partially drained. They maintain 85% of their charge after one year, and remain functional down to -4°F.

I was clearly responding to the speculation they had switched factories.
Certainly these Laddas could be internally different than the Eneloop Pros, but the specs are so similar that I bet the only difference is the wrapper. It doesn't really make since for the manufacturer to go through the trouble of engineering/developing another cell that is only 4% different. If they do anything, they might test the capacity of the cells -- and if they measure over 2500mA then they are sent for the Eneloop Pro wrapper and if the measure less then they go to the machine that wraps the cells in Ladda wrappers.

It doesn't make sense from my point of view as someone with a degree in electrical engineering and who has a friend that works for Energizer.
Don't throw your weight around. You are not the only one with a "degree" or friends that work at places.
Like my iPhone is at 85% peak performance after a year.

I would be shocked if the Ladda cells didn't charge in your Eneloop charger. I have a couple Energizer chargers that seem to charge any AA or AAA NiMH battery I put in them.

LOL, another EE hanging around on a deal site talking about batteries -- who'd have thunk it. Does Energizer make anything besides batteries (and things related to them like adapters and chargers)?
We can agree to disagree, but everything I see points to the Laddas and the Eneloop Pros likely being the same cell*. They both advertise being LSD, both claim 500 recharges, and their mA capacity difference is well within manufacturing tolerances. Either way, I suspect 95% or more of people who buy Eneloop Pros would only be able to tell the difference with Laddas by the wrapper (and not by their performance).
* This cell another one that is very likely the same too:

However, it looks like their rechargeable LADDA batteries will stay in production, so I'm not sure why those also show "Last chance to buy".

Bought 12 AA from IKEA last year, used three times, junk. They don't hold charge at all, need to recharge them right before action all the time. Waste of money, but 15 years old eneloops are still running.
