is the "out of the package" 80% charge that important in the real world or is it a marketing scheme.

Looks like a complicated story -- perfect for mentioning on PDML. :-) This looooong thread on a forum inhabited by certified battery geeks ... http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=192345 ... suggests that the U-H may in fact be either a rebadged Eneloop or a clone of it (licensed or otherwise) made in China, or both! (Sanyo Eneloops are made only in Japan.) They discuss whether there's a significant difference between the Chinese-origin and Japanese Eneloop-like cells.
