Eneloop Pro (labeled Eneloop XX for a bit) are rated for 500 charge cycles. Regular Eneloop batteries are rated for 2100 charge cycles but have lower capacity. Choose the one you prefer. I like the higher capacity batteries.
The Wikipedia page on Eneloop has a chart that clears this up to some degree. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eneloop wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Dec 27, 2018, at 9:13 PM, eric norris via Elecraft > <[email protected]> wrote: > > You must measure the batteries under load.
