Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but when YOU also berate the opinions of others, YOU cross the line.
Try learning how to spell "eneloop", using proper grammar, and punctuation next time. You might consider getting your GED as well.
#4, berating others opinions is par for the course here. Berating another BECAUSE of their opinion #3 is a different matter. Depending on the subject matter and the scope of the misguided opinion(s), someone may deserve to be berated... Sounds like he attacking the opinion you hold and questioning what facts led to forming that opinion. Don't get mad, get even.
Eneloops are still the best, what I'd use in any device where I need max performance from a NiMH cell, but Tenergy's LSD cells are not bad in other uses where you'd rather save some money.
If I had, say a R/C vehicle where the remote takes several AA cells and they won't be ran down before a few cycles from the vehicle's onboard battery, I'd rather save a few bucks and go with the Tenergys unless it were a really expensive flying R/C toy so I didn't want to risk loss of control as much.
I use both Eneloops and Tenergy and I found them about the same performance, seriously. I am using Eneloops in more expensive electronics like DSLR and flashes but the Tenergy holds up very well in my LED flash lights and portable radios and MP3 players. I use LaCrossejBC900 charger and the Tenergy are tested to be about the same capacity as the Eneloops (Tenergy are over rated on their label for about 10%). Tenergy well worth the $1.50 price tag when on sale.
I have some RayoVac powering a DIY LED bike light. Think it's a 5 or 6 cell series configuration so the current draw is lower than some applications, but they seem to do well enough, with a little higher self discharge rate than Eneloops and a little lower effective capacity, but also at lower cost.
However that setup is at least 3 years old, I'd imagine both the RayoVacs and the Tenergys have been improved a little since then, but so have Eneloops.
^ Yeah I've seen those. They're ok for a sample size of one, analysis, but when it really matters I like to check out the candlepower forums as those nuts also post lots of graphs, sometimes an off-brand cell will perform worse (relative to Eneloops) with a rise in output current. That's not too relevant for some uses but more important with things like a digital camera or 1 x AA LED flashlight.
Only Eneloop for me...
Agreed!
do u guys know anything about these batteries or are you just blurting our your hard-on for eneloops because you blindly believe they are the best?
these are actually good cheap eneloop clones http://www.amazon.com/Tenergy-Centura-Self-Discharge-Rechargeable-Batteries/product-reviews/B00410B734/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
so if you want to keep riding elenoops' carrot then go ahead but please next time give some educated responses.
thats like if you saw a deal for samsung galaxy s3 and you immediately pipe in saying "i only use iphones, iphones are the best"

In for 1. Cheaper than eneloops and just as good.
Anyone going to stick up for RayoVac?
Anyone going to stick up for Eveready?

Big Dave, have your read NLee the Engineer's reviews? He's a battery head like you:
