New. eneloop lite. The rechargeable battery for first-time users. Ideal for low-to-medium power consumption devices. There are still people, who do not use low self discharge batteries yet. The reason? They still desire a more attractive price & shorter charging time. Now, to meet these demands, SANYO expands its eneloop line-up with eneloop lite. The new eneloop lite rechargeable battery is ideal for low-to-medium power consumption devices, such as DECT phones & remote controls. Both types have a nominal voltage of 1, 2V & a rating capacity of 1000 m Ah (mignon) & 600 m Ah (micro). The new eneloop lite has the advantages of the classical eneloop: The rechargeable batteries are pre-charged & therefore ready to use right after being purchased. Because of its low self discharge eneloop lite retains 75% of its initial charge even after 3 years of storage. The differences between eneloop lite & the classical eneloop become visible when comparing capacity & cycle life. eneloop lite is rechargeable up to 2000 times, which makes it even more economically & environment-friendly. By reducing the amount of materials used, attractive prices have been realized. The reduced capacity also leads to a faster charging. Compared to the charging time of a eneloop battery size mignon, that of a eneloop lite size mignon is only half. Further, the eneloop lite has less weight than the eneloop. For example: a eneloop lite size mignon weighs Approx. 19g which is about 30% less than a eneloop size mignon (approx. 27g). Lighter batteries are especially convenient for devices that use multiple batteries & when many batteries need to be carried. With those specifications eneloop lite is ideal for first-time rechargeable battery users.
