This is about Low Self-Discharge rechargeable NiMH batteries. Eneloops are the gold standard (as you can see on [[https://www.ozbargain.com.au/| OzBargain]]) but you'll find identical or similar products from other brands. Well known examples are Aldi's Activ Energy products, and Ikea's Ladda cells which may or may not be made in the same factories.

Copying in some notes because it's a pain in the arse to look up.

= Chargers =

Information on the Smart and Quick Charger comes from here: http://main.panasonic-eneloop.eu/sites/default/files/4_BQ-CC55.pdf

Smart and Quick: BQ-CC55

Interestingly, my black JP-plug charger quotes very slightly lower charging currents, 750mA for AA cells and 275mA for AAA cells. The AU-plug white charger that I bought locally says 800mA (3.2A total) and 300mA (1.2A total) respectively.
