i have many NiMh batteries that have a little greater amp hour rating than the eneloop .. but i find you can rarely use that extra capacity .. reason, the standard batteries self discharge quickly and in a week or so you cant depend on them .. you have to charge them just before you use them and thats inconvenient.. now comes the eneloop .. i love them .. you can charge them and not use them for months .. then you can depend on them to be at nearly full capacity when they are needed .. so you actually realize more usefull capacity than the others .. you dont have to charge them as often so the life time goes up .. they also can be recharged many more times than standard NiMh batteries again increasing useful life .. wouldnt it be great to have batteries like the eneloop in your cordless drill some day .. how many times has your drill been dead just when you need it (always in my case) .. with the eneloop you need only charge them once a year or so .. and its always ready when you are .. i cant wait until these batteries are available in such equipment.. the eneloop is working so well for me that i am replacing all my AA and AAA NiCd and NiMh and even some primary lithiums (photography) .. my flashlights are now eneloop and i dont worry about using them a lot or just storing them for an emergency .. its nice to have them always ready and dependable .. i guess you can say "i am a very happy customer" ..
