They won't. I've been using eneloops for two years now and never a problem except that I have too many AAs. First, I bought 10 of them which was an OK number, then I decided to get 8 AAAs but screwed up and ordered AAs which I was forced to keep. Finally I picked up four packs of the tones edition because it is nice to have them color sorted, helps to know which are charged and which aren't, so that makes another 32. 50 AAs is definitely too many even after replacing all AAs in the house with eneloops when empty.
