eneloop BATTERIES EARTH DAY FRIENDLY…EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR

Recharge, Re-use, Recycle With Next Evolution in Batteries

More than 149 million tons of batteries are disposed of every year in the United States. To help reduce some of this waste, Sanyo Energy (USA) Corporation, the world’s largest manufacturer of rechargeable batteries, offers the next evolution in batteries, the non-disposable battery eneloop.

eneloop proposes a new lifestyle – one where a rechargeable battery is used like an alkaline battery and is ready for use immediately after purchase. From the packaging to the battery design, eneloop is reusable with the capacity to be used again and again – up to 1000 times*.

SANYO Energy created the eco-friendly eneloop battery as part of its “Think GAIA” vision and commitment to safeguard the environment by reducing waste while helping to conserve precious natural resources for future generations.

eneloop features:

Reusable, recyclable and economical
1 eneloop = 1,000 alkaline batteries
Ready to use right out of the package
Long storage life makes eneloop the perfect “Store in the Drawer” battery – keeps 85% of initial charge after one year
Superior performance – offers more usage per cycle and lower self-discharge than traditional NiMh rechargeable batteries
AA batteries are adaptable to C size and D size batteries (with use of the eneloop C and D Adapters)

eneloop retailers include:

Wal-Mart, Amazon.com , Fry’s (and www.Frys.com), Circuit City (and www.cirucuitcity.com), Ritz/Wolf Camera (and www.ritzcamera.com and www.wolfcamera.com), HHGregg, FredMeyer stores and Discovery Channel retail stores (available May 2007).
