Also, I totally understand trying to defend the deal you posted, but let's not spread misinformation.
Sure, the EBL batteries use the same battery chemistry as Panasonic's Eneloops, but they are in no way, shape, or form comparable. Project Farm did a discharge test on multiple NiMH batteries over one year.

One Year Later [youtube.com]
TL;DW - EBL ranked last in almost all tests, both when new and after a year of use.
Community Reviews
This bundle is a budget AA and AAA rechargeable battery set with a multi slot charger that stands out for convenience and higher power input. The charger has a 20 watt USB C port, USB A support, and can handle eight batteries at once, with some praise for its solid everyday use and no reported issues. The batteries are repeatedly described as decent for low drain gear like remotes, toys, controllers, and deadbolts, but the labeled 2800mAh capacity is often said to test closer to the low 2000s. Charging can also be slow, and the charger appears limited for capacity testing and some USB C cables.
Common Questions (5)
The batteries are commonly reported to test below the printed rating: the 2800mAh AAs often measure around 2200-2500mAh, and the AAA cells also tend to come in under the label. They can still be solid for lower-drain devices like remotes, toys, controllers, and deadbolts.
It can charge AA/AAA NiMH cells, but the listed charge current is only 300mA per slot, so a 2800mAh AA can take roughly 8-11 hours from dead to full. That slower rate may help reduce heat, but it is not a fast charger.
Yes, it can charge the same NiMH chemistry used by Eneloops, and it does not care about brand. The main caveat is that the charger is slow and some users prefer higher-end chargers for better capacity testing and termination behavior.
No. Capacity testing is limited to one slot, while the other slots only charge batteries. That makes it less useful if you want to test multiple cells at once.
Yes. The charger is described as able to charge 9V batteries in addition to AA and AAA cells.

I'm willing to provide you with proof, so let's try and be civil.

This only tests 18650 batteries, which are 3.7V.
You trying to burn down my house?
EDIT: I can't read, it does do 1.2V Ni-MH. Sass left in for posterity. Be back in three days.

I don't mind testing each one individually. Here's to hoping it goes viral and I get a lifetime supply of Eneloops!
Which, in my case, would be the pair I already own!
Seriously, I have nothing to gain by proving that my batteries still hold a fantastic charge, even after regular use. The ONLY person in this thread that doubted my batteries is you.
If you don't think I'm that smart, then please... do the math for me.
Question 1: If you were to complete this cycle for fifteen years, approximately how many times would each pair of batteries get charged?
My math says about 23 charges per pair in a best case scenario (every 120 days between 9/17/11 and today) and 45 charges per pair in a worst case scenario (every 90 days between 9/17/11 and today).
Question 2: How many charge cycles are Eneloops rated for?

- You have four batteries, Pair A and Pair B.
- You use Pair A in a low power mouse until the mouse stops working. At which point, you swap to Pair B and let Pair A come to a full charge. Once fully charged, Pair A goes into storage until Pair B is drained, and then the cycle continues from September 17th 2011 to today.
- A pair of batteries will get 3-4 months of use before needing to recharge.

Oh jeez, you knew exactly what I meant when I asked to begin with and you responded with an appropriate charger. Stop moving goal posts. I'm taking time out of my life to settle a silly debate between us. If you're not going to be civil, then I'll just return the charger and keep enjoying my amazing Eneloops.

Eneloop batteries are known for their impressive longevity both in terms of storage and usage.
Storage Duration
Let me know when you bust out your calculator and answer the questions I did ask.
[QUOTE=WoodSlayR;186248736]
How long will the eneloop battery last if I do not use it?
The latest 5th generation eneloop battery may remain up to 70% charged if not used for up to 10 years (or 90% charged after 1 year).
*Capacity is based on IEC-61951-2 (7.2.1.). Actual results may vary according to use.
Stop moving goal posts. Amazon says the delivery of the EBL charger will be here tomorrow. We'll both have an answer by Monday.
Unless you have some other asinine thing to post.
