Eneloop Adds Sophistication to Portable Chargers

Eneloop ChargerIn the past, portable charging devices running off a couple of AA batteries have been, for the most part, dodgy. You could pick them up in supermarkets for $10 and they wouldn’t have given you anywhere near enough power to switch your dead phone back on.

Sanyo has brought the battery-powered charger into 2010 by introducing their new Eneloop charging device. The Eneloop runs off AA batteries, but rechargeable Ni-Mh AAs, rather than disposable ones, that can be recharged by plugging the Eneloop into your laptop or other USB charger.

The Eneloop has immediately put itself a cut above its competition by supplying very high quality Ni-Mh cells with the charger that don’t leak over time. …

Sanyo’s Eneloop Rechargeable Battery Powered Bike

Eneloop Bike SeriesSanyo’s new application for their Eneloop range of rechargeable batteries is their bike series – a fairly standard electric bike where the battery is charged up while you cycle and the power is released by pressing a button on the handlebars.

At this point the bike goes into ‘all-wheel’ mode, i.e. both wheels will be powered instead of just the rear wheel on a standard bicycle. What differentiates this bike from other electric ones is that it manages to charge the battery even whilst you’re slowing down – that extra power does help in the long run too.
