That's pretty cool! I didn't know Sanyo made this.

I love their eneloop batteries! I won't use anything less in all my electronic gadgets. My wireless headphones, digital cameras, labeler, etc. all go on and on for ages! They helped my wireless headphones go from consuming 2 AAA batteries in 4 days (about 2-3 hrs/day) to almost 3 or 4 months! And my digital camera battery life was improved about 4-5x as well. I only wish they made a 9V for some of my old guitar stomp boxes and things.

What I like about Eneloop:

Low price / Great value
Big capacity battery
Charge via AC adapter (included) or USB (interesting to note that the AC Adapter provides twice the current = recharges twice as fast)
Power device via 2 built in standard USB ports – I can use standard iPhone USB wire (= not too short) to recharge iPhone and have a second USB port to power / recharge a 2nd device

What I don't like:

It would be great if it were smaller (not realistic since it would have lower capacity)
Documentation sucks and is almost impossible to find
