I can only find gen 3 Sanyo Eneloops which were replaced with updated (more recharge cycles) Panasonic branded ones last year in April.
Does anyone know where the newer Panasonic Eneloops can be had in NZ?

timmmay: I didn't know about them, I'm using third generation. Fourth gen may not be available in New Zealand.
If you're not using a really good charger you're not going to get near the rated cycles anyway. Maha C9000 for break in (annually), that or the Maha 801D for periodic refreshes. You can get both locally, with some difficulty, or amazon.
Bung: Panasonic NZ still seem to be marketing Sanyo branded product.
Bung: Sanyo Australia could hardly be bothered to shift it so there probably was a few containers left.

timmmay: No. Fast charging will reduce battery life. 2 hours is ok, 1 hour is too quick, and overnight is too slow mostly because it makes it difficult for the charger to tell when the battery's charged. Read up on www.batteryuniversity.com for all the different battery chemistries.
timmmay: C9000. Reasonably compact, great charger.
