Hello, dear Battery Gurus!
I just came across this seemingly new product:
Sanyo XX Battery Powered by eneloop, 2500mAh.
These are claimed to be low-self-discharge batteries with
high-capacity (2500 mAh).

Has anybody tried them yet? Are they noteworthy or just a gimmick?
Those look very interesting. My hybrio batteries, which were the best
of my hybrids seem to be dying. The larger capacity of the new eneloops
looks very interesting. Please get a set and tell us how well they work.
I did notice that they said only 500 recharges rather than 1500, so that
might be one of the tradeoffs.
Well, just going by the math ...
The 1500mAh Eneloops give 1500 charges X 360 flashes per charge =
540,000 flashes
The 2500mAh Eneloops give 500 charges X 460 flashes per charge = 230,000
flashes
2 x 230,000 = 460,000
So it looks like the new high power ones have less than half the usable
life of the old ones.
Price-wise, they cost 67% more than the regular eneloops ($24.99 vs
$14.99), but only give about 43% of the value.
