[Elecraft] [KX3] FYI - Eneloop XX Battery Manufacturer Change

2015-01-17 Thread Joel Black
I was about to purchase some additional Eneloop XX 2500 mAh batteries this 
morning from Amazon.com http://amazon.com/. I went back to previous purchases 
and noticed that they were no longer available. Copying-and-pasting in the 
search window found them again, but they’re now manufactured by Panasonic 
(previously, they were Sanyo).

I cannot imagine there is any difference in the batteries. I’ve never had 
anything buy high praises for the Eneloop XX batteries. I put them in 
*everything* that’s why I need more. :) Eight are in the KX3 at all times and I 
have about eight more scattered throughout the house in remote controls, BT 
keyboards, etc.

If you don’t hear anything back from me, I guess they work just fine. :)

I've had good luck with the Amazon basics high capacity, i think they are
basically the same as the Eneloop XX.

The explanation is that Sanyo and Panasonic merged some time ago, and they
finally retired the Sanyo brand. But those are the same batteries.
