    I have both Tenegy and Eneloop. They are as good as the eneloops.

    There's an acid trip joke in here somewhere.

    I have the Tenergys as well. High quality at a fraction of the Eneloop price.

    it doesn't seem that much cheaper, 8pk of eneloops are 20 dollars vs 12 for 20. So you're getting 4 more for a brand that lasts 1000x vs 1500x. so it's pretty much you're getting what you pay for. I rather invest a couple more dollars into eneloops that are made in japan.

    The Tenergys are a great value for low drain or periodic usage scenarios like remote controls, cordless mouse or keyboard, etc. Not sure why #4 feels 50% lower cost isn't much cheaper, that would be considered a huge price difference for most products.

    50% lower cost but you also get 50% less life out of them in the long term.

    ^ Have any links supporting this 50% less life, or were you comparing 1500 recharge cycles vs 1000? I don't think I have ever actually recharged any standalone batteries 1000 times (standalone opposed to something built in like cordless phone battery packs from yesteryear that go through a partial cycle every time the phone is returned to a base station).

    Although if it's true, the Tenergy still seem a good option for things like remote controls, keyboards, mice, etc. If I recharge those once every 3 months (or less with remote controls), it would take 250 years to reach 1000 recharge cycles. Even if the use requires recharging as often as twice a week, that's still close to 10 years service life.

    Don't get me wrong, if I have to depend on a battery I'd pick Eneloops, but I don't like the idea of depending on batteries...
