The World’s First Rechargeable Battery - eneloop

Research has shown that there are over fifteen billion batteries made worldwide every year. Take into account that many of these batteries are only used once and sent to landfill and the effect that batteries can have on the environment becomes pretty clear.

Enter the latest innovation from Sanyo - the eneloop - the world's first ready-to-use rechargeable battery! This great product combines the strengths of rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries:

• Reusable
• Recyclable
• High-Capacity
• Ready-to-use
• Long shelf-life

eneloop batteries are environmentally friendly because they can be reused up to 1000 times - so for every one eneloop you use, you are preventing 1000 non-rechargeable batteries from going to landfill. What's more, the cost per use works out at only 10c - much cheaper than non-rechargeable batteries.

What's more, the eneloop is almost five times as powerful as a non-rechargeable battery. For example tests have shown that an eneloop battery will take approximately 514 shots in a digital camera, while non-rechargeable batteries will take only approximately 117 shots.

eneloop can be used in wide variety of electronic equipment, from remote controls to digital cameras.

eneloop batteries are available from Dick Smith, Power House, Tandy, Leading Edge Electronics, Battery World, Leading Edge Computers.
