It's Christmas morning and there are boxes of toys (and maybe a few gadgets for yourself too) strewn across the floor. Then, you notice the dreaded phrase "Batteries Not Included". Luckily, Santa delivered some Panasonic Eneloop batteries and your morning is saved!

Panasonic Eneloop batteries were rated as the "Best rechargeable AA battery and charger of 2016" according to Metaefficient.com and while Panasonic isn't a name usually known for batteries - it's a name you already know and trust. Eneloop batteries were launched in 2005 to produce a battery that would hold up over many years of charging and recharging cycles without degrading.

They also come pre-charged using solar power at the factory and can maintain a 70% charge for 10 years. Though, of all the stats we could share about these batteries I suspect that the 2,100 recharging cycles is going to be more realistic for most of you than having it sit in a drawer for a decade!
