I checked my batteries and I don't see any OEM on the label...Label states only Amazon Basics rechargeable/AAAHR03/NiMH 1.2V 800mAh/Standard Charge:80mA in 15 hours/Do not disassemble, short-circuit,or dispose of in fire. Made in China/Mfg. Date OCT 2012 No other writing or indicators on them...they work a treat, though...I am very happy with them in my household cordless phones!

Thanks for the lowdown. I didn't spend much money for the Eneloops, so as long as the work better than the Panasonic stock batteries, i'm happy for now. I will look into the batteries you mentioned though if I need to.

Most battery-operated appliances work fine with NiMH cells in place of alkaline cells. Alkaline cell starts from 1.6V when fresh, but its voltage drops linearly with usage. Rechargeable NiMH cell (such as Sanyo eneloop) starts from lower voltage, but it can maintain 1.25V operating voltage throughout most of its useful life. The only problem is that the low-battery indicator may come up early (incorrectly), due to the lower battery voltage. In your particular case, the GE A950 user manual says it can accept rechargeable NiMH cells. Therefore you can definitely use Sanyo eneloop cells.

I recharge Energizer nickel metal hydride batteries in my Powerex charger because I have a few. Sanyo Eneloop batteries are a better all around battery though.

The Sanyo eneloop cells can be recharged using any good-quality 'smart' chargers designed for NiMH cells. For the sake of battery lifespan, avoid timer-based overnight 'dumb' chargers, and '15-minute' ultra-fast battery roasters.As a general rule, any brand of NiMH cells can be recharged using other brands of NiMH chargers. But the manufacturer always tell you to use only the same brand - for obvious reasons.

For anything using AA batteries, I recommend Sanyo Enerloop rechargeable batteries. They are many times better than any I have used previously. They not only have good duration, but also hold their charge unused for a longer time.

I heard, Sanyo went belly-up, sort of.Taken over by Panasonic - who are also moribund ..Maybe try this:SANYO Canada Inc.1-300 Applewood Crescent,Concord, ON L4K 5C7Tel. 1-800-263-2244

what is 'gating damage'? i just purchased the eneloop batteries mentioned in another response and my SB-700 no longer powers on. i noticed one of the small metal conductors (?) is missing and a little white ooze but batteries seem clean. (I had a previous battery mishap, but luckily was able to clean it up and get unit to function). anyway, wondering if these batteries caused issue.

They are standard second generation Eneloop. The batteries are labeled exactly the same as the white version (SIZE AA HR6 HR-3UTGA 1.2V Min. 1,900mAh Made in Japan, SIZE AAA HR03 HR-4UTGA Min 750mAh Made in Japan). The second Amazon image shows the back of the package. There is a chart above the UPC that shows the minimum & typical mAh (although I'm a little confused by the output in mA).

The Sanyo "low leakage" Eneloops will work in this charger, but a lower current unit (around 200 or 250 mA) will result in a longer total life (more charge/discharge cycles). This Sony does heat up the batteries which will reduce their ultimate life. I have (12) AA Eneloops that I use in Canon 580EX flash heads (very high high peak discharge current) and they seem to be holding up much better than other brands using the LaCrosse BC-900 charger set to 200mA. The Sanyo capacity when new was around 2100 mAH, but has not dropped off as other (higher initial capacity) batteries (LaCrosse and Eveready) have with heavy use.

Yes it is. Best with Eneloop or Sanyo 2700 mAh. Recycle time is the shortest.

Jeff, I have used them without problem for months now. It may just be that you got a bum set. I have been running only Oly BLN-1s in my OM-Ds and E-M1 for the last two months, so decided to see how my Wasabi batteries were doing in my bag having not been on a charger in more than two months just for this response. I can say that BOTH my Wasabis were still fully charged (based on my E-M1's battery display) and are working fine. I'd suggest contacting them to see if they can help you out. Jamie.

Joan, when I went to Walmart the batteries stated NiM on them meaning they where rechargeable batteries not Lion. I would save yourself some money and just get some Sanyo Eneloop rechargeables.

Hello, I can only say that I use a charger that is made only for mAh style batteries. I have not used the Energizer batteries but I think the Tenergy batteries are great, they seem to hold a charge for a long time and recharge very fast, been using these batteries for about a year now and love them.

Your guess is as good as mine. I've never own the non-premium tenergy batteries so I don't know how to answer your question properly. I can say that the set of Tenergy Premium that I purchased a year ago is still going strong. No sign/symptom of failure (not holding charges) at all. I would really RECOMMEND BUYING A HIGH SPEED CHARGER.

See my Customer Image for this product page. The Duracell Pre-Charged cell with 'white top' is equivalent to Sanyo eneloop (made in Japan). The one with 'black top' is equivalent to Rayoyac Hybrid (made in China). Most people seem to prefer the 'white top'. But both versions are good in my opinion.Be careful that Duracell also sells ordinary NiMH cells with very similar 'Copper Top' color scheme. Make sure that your cells actually have 'Pre Charged' printed on them. The ordinary NiMH cells are not worth getting, since they all suffer from rapid self-discharge problem.
