I bought 4 AA eneloops for $18. But must bargain a bit. SLS second floor first shop from escalator selling printer toners etc. Actual price is $20. Used it with my Sb600 Speedlight and fired around 200 shots. Still going. Will update total shots when I am finished with it.

The best thing is that it can be used out of the pack with no initial charging needed. And after that, u still can charge to use it again. But I am having a issue with finding a suitable charger though. Dont see any original eneloops charge around. Those that comes with the batteries are only for 2 AAs.

I guess i will consider using Sanyo charge since eneloop is also made by Sanyo. Highly recommend this batteries considering the fact that u can charge and leave it on for months without much discharge. Though at 2000Am, it certainly beats most of the big brothers just by this added feature.

I've just started using my set of 4 AAs Eneloop. Was surprised that it did not manage to power up my Canon S2 IS. Upon checking, discovered that one of the battery had <.5 V.

Used charger to charge, but two days later it went back to <.5V. So this particular battery is spoilt. Well, I'm going to bring to Sanyo and ask them to test and exchange. Never thought Sanyo Eneloop will have this problem, so sad...

Why do you buy batteries that lies around and keeps it's charge?... Isn't it to be used? Further more I heard from EAST Gear Guy: the recycling power is lower than PowerEx (not recommended for Flashlight - you have to wait a while (1 second or more) before taking next shot (Precious moments can't wait).

Flashlight or flash unit? Flashlight can't put on camera leh... .

I read in CSnap, some report eneloop battery cycles on flash is in between alkaline battery and Ni-MH battery.
