never mind, I looked it up myself, as you can see, even sanyo's own "regular" nimh batteries have "far superior" capacity on a full charge than their own eneloopes:
http://www.eneloop.info/home/performance-details/capacity.html So what does this mean, well if you use your batteries within a couple months of charging the eneloops will run out of energy quicker than regular nimh batteries. the only advantage of using eneloops is if you charge and then dont use for two months or more. By then the self discharge of the regular nimh will have equalized to the the lower capacity of the eneloops have in the first place when fully charged. So, unless you actully wait 2 months to use the eneloops after charging, they are inferior, not superior to regular nimh for what a battery does which is store ususable energy.

BTW, do these eneloops have as much capacity in mAH as other nimh batteries or not?????
