The Sanyo Eneloops appear to have an almost cult following, and you are subject to a
violent responce if you don't proclaim these, admittedly good, made in Japan batteries,
as the greatest batteries made. Or if you cast any doubt on their ability to dramatically
out perform all other batteries.

As to GA Russell's question; my on going testing -IN THE JBL- of the Low Self Discharge
2500mAh "eMax+" and the regular rechargable 2300mAh Energizer; includes the
following:
The "eMax+" were removed from the charger after a >14hr "Overnight" charge
then were installed in the JBL 9days 6hr 20min. latter.

The Energizer (non-LSD) were given a 2hr charge and
then were installed in the JBL 24days 16hrs latter.

The "eMax" LSD fell from the four bar power level to 3 bars at the 6hrs of use point.

The Energizer fell from the four bar power level to 3 bars at 9hrs 5mins. of use.

I am still testing the relative performance, under my normal use pattern, in the JBL,
of the Energizers (still on 3bars at >20hrs).

I would have to say, so far, that the Low Self Discharge characteristic is showing no
benefit, at this point. Also that the normal rechargable, even though rated lower than
the LSD rechargable, is showing no drop in performance (relative to the LSD) despite
the 24.5 days of shelf time.

Luck;
