I’ve been using Sanyo’s Eneloop batteries for about a year now and I’m pleased to say I have little to no qualms with the rechargeables.  The recharge time could be a bit faster, but aside from that they seem to be all that the company says they are.

And now, for folks like me, I can recharge two AA Eneloops via my laptops USB port thanks to the Sanyo Stick Booster.  The product page says that the device can charge up via the sun’s rays, but I don’t any signs of a solar panel, so I’ll leave that one to the person who orders this $34 device when it is available in December.

I’m a big fan of Sanyo’s Eneloop batteries.  I bought a Costco pack which includes 8 AA, 2 AAA and a bunch of adapters for those pesky larger sizes.  For the most part they work fantastically well and to this day most of them haven’t lost there charge, though sometimes I believe some to last longer than others.  The versions I own are good for up to 1000 chargers.  Yesterday, Sanyo announced a second iteration of their NiMH rechargeable batteries that are now good for up to 1,500 charges and will hold at least 70% of its charge for 3 years.

So what did we learn?  Invest in Eneloops.  You’ll totally get your money back and if you buy them from Costco you can return them once they start to fade.

My neck is never the first or the most noticeably cold part of my body.  It’s always my feet.  Though, this seems like a plausible product since the neck can definitely be a gateway to chilling the rest of your body if not protected.

Newly announced from Sanyo is their rechargeable neck warmers.  The press release is in Japanese so I’m not even gonna link to it.  No word yet on specs, availability, or pricing, but this should be of interest to any one who enjoys or works in the cold outdoors as anything heated will radiate through your whole body.  Sort of like a flask of whiskey.
