Release of Upgraded eneloop batteries by SANYO
Sanyo Electric released its upgraded rechargeable Ni-MH eneloop batteries improving on its number of recharge times. The upgraded eneloop can be recharged approximately 1500 times first in the industry improving up on 1,000 recharge times with its previous model. Sanyo achieved this by use of advance materials through development and incorporation of highly durable super lattice alloy, advance manufacturing method by developing a technology to protect the surface of the super-lattice alloy as well as introduction of advanced structure through use of strong thin outer case. The development of new material has enhanced the company’s original super-lattice alloy through homogenizing the crystalline structure as well as improving its composition which has contributed in reducing the deterioration of the super-lattice alloy which is caused through repeated charge and discharge. Sanyo in protecting the surface of the super-lattice alloy has introduced a new additive to the negative electrode material as well as developing a new additive coating technology; through this effort deterioration of the super-lattice alloy by repeated use can be reduced. The new upgraded eneloop are the AA- and AAA- size. The company will also introduce the new charger and charger set to the market. The 2-unit pack AA-size has a retail price of 1,100 yen before taxes to be released on Nov. 14th only in Japan and the 2-unit pack AAA-size has a retail price of 900 yen before taxes to be released on Nov. 14th as well. The AA-size model will also come in 4-, 8-, 12-unit pack with no suggested retail price set yet. The AAA-size model will also come in 4- and 8-unit pack with no suggested retail price. All to be released on Nov. 14th.
