The Sanyo Eneloop low-self discharge NiMH batteries appear to be the same
technology as the Maha Imedion and the GP ReCykos. The Thomas Distributing
Web site even mistakenly refers to the Maha Imedion as "eneloop" from time
to time. For all I know, they are all made by the same factory. Though the
Eneloop batteries do indeed have lower capacities than the older NiMH
batteries, their low rate of self-discharge apparently more than makes up
for it, depending on how long they sit around before you use them. For an
interesting independent test of the new Eneloop batteries, see
