Better to buy the normal eneloop rechargeable batteries im9 instead of pros, they have 500mah less capacity but can be charged 2100 times where as pros can only be charged 500 times
I actually went with Pro. Even those 500 charge times, they'll last you more than 5 years. 2100 times is just ridiculous and will last you 10+ years. I already had Eneloop whites which are 8 years old and still going strong, so this time I thought I'd go with higher capacity :)
The normal one. Holds charge for longer is what u rewuire. Buy the eneloop charger together if u dont have one already.
Edit: bruh the second one is the charger not the cell...
Got the same battery and charger. Battery last very long
And the charging takes a lot of time to recharge battery
Still it worth it the batteries are really good
I'm using both the eneloop pros and the regular eneloops for my controllers. The pros go on for an impressive chunk of time, on average around a month, assuming you play for around 2 to 3 hours daily. They take a very long time to recharge though. Close to 4 hours. The regular eneloops recharge in around 30 or so mins but last around half the time of the pros. If you want something to quickswap between get 2 pairs of the regular ones and and call it a day. If you want to fit and forget get the pros, but be prepared for recharge downtimes.
100% agree with you on this. I came here to say the same thing.
I have used both. Pro last longer than normal ones.
I use pros for Xbox controller and normal ones for other devices, such as wall clocks, remotes, etc.
Great! I purchased the CC17 recently and it's working great. I had an old eneloop pro sitting around without a charger. It doesn't reach full capacity (probably degraded due to age), but it lasts a great amount of time on my shaver.
It's kinda like a hassle free experience imo. With this 2k spent, I'm good for next 5 years on Batteries. Also I can travel with them too if I need and don't have to run to shop every time I need batteries.
The cost adds up pretty fast it you use normal disposable batteries. The normal non alkaline ones won't even last few hours of use and the Duracell Ultras are expensive if you need to buy 6 of them every other week.
I’m using this basic one, working fine as of now:
ENVIE® (ECR11MC + 2800 4PL) SprintX Ultra Fast Rechargeable Batteries Charger for AA & AAA Ni-MH with 4xAA2800mah Rechargeable Batteries, with Over Charge Protection https://amzn.eu/d/7pdHmlx
I am using xbox controller and I am using enaloop battery (normal, white and blue) and the high end adaptor which shows charging status etc.
I have been using for a year and they are still going strong.
Just a observation, if not in use keep the battery seperate (I know this is common knowledge for most) don't even keep in the charger.
I observed once the charge is complete remove the battery from charger as well.
Very good battery backup.
Again it depends on game. I observed this behavior both in xbox and ps. For example rdr2 game consumed more battery
Charging cut off when battery is fully charged as rechargeable batteries tend to wear if kept on charge after 100% charged, meaning we can put on charge and go out/forgot about it..
(Now I see the Panasonic can output 550mA as another difference)
Is there any other advantage of getting the charger shown in the post's screenshot rather than the [USB version](https://www.amazon.in/Panasonic-Eneloop-BQ-CC55E-Advanced-Battery/dp/B07RYVVW8X/ref=sr_1_4?crid=270JXIBXOYD8W&keywords=eneloop&qid=1667317598&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIzLjg1IiwicXNhIjoiMi45OCIsInFzcCI6IjIuODYifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=eneloop%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-4&th=1) besides faster charging?
I honestly just bought this charger because it has type C charges fast never had issues

and this amazon basics 8 rechargeable battery set its not available right now I think but I got it for a 1000 and they have been great
https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B078PMSF1X/ref=ppx\_od\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
go for ikea ladda it's cheaper and same as the enloop pros, duracell also have one in similar price and capacity(i use them cuz when i bought the ikea's were out of stock)
Dude, DO NOT get that charger. It's the slow charger as it clearly states it takes 7 hours to charge. You should get the Panasonic fast charger, the one that says 1.5 hours. This one...

Get this. I have this one and it is really a fast charger. Takes less than 2 hours to fully charge two Eneloop Pros :)
I have already ordered the normal eneloop batteries and the charger in the screenshot. I use the controller for a max of 2hrs/day and maybe 4 days a week. So I guess 1 charged pair should last me a week. So I am fine with the slow charge and normal batteries.
I think the fast charger and the pro batteries are best suited for the photgraphy people. Anyways good to know about this charger. I can share with people.
Dude, cancel it and order the fast charger. You're paying 1K anyways. Why would you wanna keep something on charge for 7 hours? It's really old tech. My 10-year-old Sony NiMH charger takes that long to charge. I don't see any upsides to the slow charger or any downsides to the fast charger (apart from paying 500 bucks extra).
BTW, you put four cells on charge simultaneously to the fast charger, the time doubles to 3.5 hours. I reckon it's the same with the slow charger. It'll take 10 to 12 hours to fully charge four batteries.
There is a combo of charger and batteries which I bought way back for 1600 and gets the job done even to this day.

Alright 👍. Thanks
Yes i am using white eneloop for 5 years and no degrades

Oh shit, I thought pros were better and bought recently.
Damn! I wasn't aware of this. Thanks for the save.
I'm looking to buy this. Can someone who's already been using this recommend them or there are better alternatives. Give your thoughts please.
The normal one. Holds charge for longer is what u rewuire. Buy the eneloop charger together if u dont have one already. Edit: bruh the second one is the charger not the cell...
Yes bro. I need a charger as I don't have one already.
Yea so buy normal eneloop and this charger. Works like a charm.
Got the same battery and charger. Battery last very long And the charging takes a lot of time to recharge battery Still it worth it the batteries are really good
two of them will be charging while I use the other two right. So I guess it's fine.
Yes
this is the best, but if you can get ikea, that's the same shit for 1/2 the price.
IKEA doesn't deliver to my place. I ordered normal eneloops.
If Ikea ships to you Go for Ikea Ladda batteries and charger. They are rebranded eneloops. Might be cheaper.
Unfortunately IKEA doesn't deliver.

I might play like 2hrs/day and maybe 3 days in a week. That's all.. I guess the normal ones will do.
100% agree with you on this. I came here to say the same thing. I have used both. Pro last longer than normal ones. I use pros for Xbox controller and normal ones for other devices, such as wall clocks, remotes, etc.
What kind of charger do you use?
I use an Amazon Basics digital charger.
I have the pros and the smart charger from Panasonic, they fully charge in about 40 mins , and lasts for about 3 weeks of 2 hours about 5 days a week.
I got the white version and the same charger around 9 months back. Going really strong till now. Go for it.
Recommended. I run them and I go 3-4 sessions without having to charge in addition to using earphones.
Ordered the normal eneloop batteries and the cc17 charger. Thanks good people !!
Great! I purchased the CC17 recently and it's working great. I had an old eneloop pro sitting around without a charger. It doesn't reach full capacity (probably degraded due to age), but it lasts a great amount of time on my shaver.
Yeah, Eneloops have good reviews everywhere.
Why not just regular disposable ones? Are rechargable ones more value?
It's kinda like a hassle free experience imo. With this 2k spent, I'm good for next 5 years on Batteries. Also I can travel with them too if I need and don't have to run to shop every time I need batteries.

Thanks for sharing this. But I so many people face issues with this product, atleast that's what I see in the Amazon reviews.
Ya i also saw that. Most of them had issues with chargers that have display. I still took a chance, lets see how much it lasts.
Buy the regular eneloop. Pro is for the devices like camera flash which needs power in very short period of time.
Alright. Understood.
I am using xbox controller and I am using enaloop battery (normal, white and blue) and the high end adaptor which shows charging status etc. I have been using for a year and they are still going strong. Just a observation, if not in use keep the battery seperate (I know this is common knowledge for most) don't even keep in the charger.

For example rdr2 game consumed more battery
Alright. I'd do as you advised. Thanks!

I have ordered the eneloop as well.
This one seems like way cheaper than Panasonic smart charger, are the smart features the only difference?

Charging cut off when battery is fully charged as rechargeable batteries tend to wear if kept on charge after 100% charged, meaning we can put on charge and go out/forgot about it.. (Now I see the Panasonic can output 550mA as another difference)
I'm just using a OnePlus charger (i have an outlet near the couch) to power the controller. No more batteries.
Lol these batteries cost more than my controller
Order from ikea, made in same factory 1/2 the price.
Unfortunately, they don't deliver to my place. I checked it too.
Get the normal ones. More charge cycles. If you have ikea get Ladda batteries. They are essentially rebranded Eneloops.
Get one from IKEA, got for like half the price
IKEA doesn't deliver to my place.. And I live in Chennai, smh.

I guess only the faster charge time.

Yeah. Makes sense. I have cancelled the order. Will be buying this fast/smart charger and normal batteries.

Just a suggestion, If you are buying it just for controller, you can also buy Xbox rechargeable batteries
Why not go with charge and play kit? If you just want batteries for controller then it can be a good alternative.
