Description
This is a pack of eight Eneloop AA rechargeable batteries from Panasonic, and the figure that matters most sits on the front of the box: a minimum capacity of 2000mAh, with the same box rating the cells for up to 2100 recharges. They arrive precharged, so you can open the pack and drop a pair straight into a device rather than waiting out an overnight charge first. Each cell is plain white and marked only with the Eneloop name and the words Ready to use Rechargeable Battery down one side.
AA is the size that empties fastest in a busy house, so eight is a sensible number to keep in circulation. It covers a set of game controllers, a wireless mouse and keyboard, a torch and a few spares sitting on the charger, which means there is always a charged pair waiting when something dies mid-evening. The pack also prints a storage figure worth knowing: after ten years of storage, capacity remains 70%. That is the property that makes cells of this kind worth putting in slow-draining items such as wall clocks, radios and remote controls, not just in the hungry gadgets.
You will need a charger that takes cells of this size, as none is included; the box holds the eight cells and nothing else. Beyond the capacity and the recharge count, the pack does not print a voltage or a trade code, so we have left both rows unstated rather than guess at them. Rechargeable cells are easiest to look after as a set: buy them together, charge them together and use them in matched pairs, and you will not find yourself pairing a tired cell with a fresh one. We supply this line in trade quantities, in multiples of twenty packs, which suits an office, a studio or a hall working through AA cells all year.

Frequently Asked
Do these arrive charged and ready to use?
Yes. The box is printed precharged and ready to use, and each cell carries the same wording, so a pair can go straight into a device.
Is a charger included?
No. The box contains eight AA cells only, so you will need a charger that accepts rechargeable cells of this size.
How many times can each cell be recharged?
The pack states up to 2100 times, alongside a minimum capacity of 2000mAh. Both figures are printed on the front of the box.
How many cells do I get, and what is the smallest order?
Each pack holds eight AA cells. This is a trade line with a minimum order of twenty packs, sold in multiples of twenty.
Will they work in anything that takes ordinary AA batteries?
They are the same AA size and fit the same compartments. The pack does not print a voltage, so check what your device asks for if it is sensitive.
What happens if I leave a pack in a drawer for a few years?
The pack prints that after ten years of storage, capacity remains 70%, so a set left unused should still hold a usable charge.
