Panasonic

At Panasonic one name dominates everything else in our field: Eneloop, the rechargeable cell that made disposable batteries hard to justify.

Panasonic is a Japanese electronics giant founded in 1918, and one of the historic pioneers of the rechargeable 18650-format Lithium-Ion battery, widely used in computing, power tools and even the automotive industry. It's also under this name that the famous Eneloop range (acquired from Sanyo in 2009) is sold, prized for its very low self-discharge, allowing a charged battery to be kept for several months, or even years. A Japanese brand synonymous with technical reliability.

Panasonic Eneloop AAA 800mAh

See price and availability (70)

The benchmark AAA rechargeable battery: up to 2100 charge cycles, ready to use out of the pack, and still holding 70% of its charge after 10 years in a drawer.

  • Capacity / Voltage: 800 mAh / 1.2V
  • Rechargeable: Yes, up to 2100 cycles
  • Pack: Pack of 4 (Ni-MH)
  • 70% capacity kept after 10 years, ready to use
Rechargeable up to 2100 times, which is exceptional, the Eneloop AAA from Panasonic are built to be as durable as possible. With a capacity of 800 mAh and already charged at purchase using solar power, these batteries keep up to 70% of their capacity after 10 years of storage and still perform down to -4 degrees Fahrenheit. Made in Japan and packaged in the United States, they are sold here in a pack of 4 and are the top pick for anyone who likes to keep a set of batteries in the drawer, always ready to grab.
The Eneloop AAA have been in our gear drawer for years and they have never once let us down. We run them in remotes, game controllers, a small headlamp and a wireless mouse, and they just get the job done without complaint. Their real strength, like their bigger AA siblings, is a very low self discharge: forgotten for months in a junk drawer, they come out nearly full and ready to go, where cheaper rechargeables would already be dead flat. The 800 mAh capacity is naturally more modest than an AA cell, but it is plenty for AAA powered gadgets, which tend to be light drain anyway. Sold in packs of 4, they pay for themselves fast against disposables, especially paired with a decent charger. One thing worth knowing: like any NiMH cell, they put out 1.2V instead of 1.5V, which almost never matters in practice. Reliable, long lived and easy on the wallet over time, this is one purchase you will not regret.

Panasonic Eneloop AA 2000mAh

See price and availability (60)

The benchmark AA rechargeable battery: up to 2100 charge cycles, ready to use out of the pack, and still holding 70% of its charge after 10 years in storage.

  • Capacity / Voltage: 2000 mAh (min.) / 1.2V
  • Rechargeable: Yes, up to 2100 cycles
  • Pack: Pack of 8 (Ni-MH)
  • 70% capacity kept after 10 years, ready to use
Rechargeable up to 2100 times, Panasonic Eneloop AA batteries are the benchmark for durable NiMH cells. With a minimum capacity of 2000 mAh, they ship pre-charged with solar power and ready to use. Their very low self discharge lets them keep up to 70% of their capacity after 10 years of storage, which is why forward-thinking users keep a set on hand. Sold in a pack of 8, they are a smart swap for disposable batteries in game controllers, remotes, toys, wireless mice and camera flashes.
It is hard to find anything more dependable than Eneloop, and running them daily makes it obvious why they get so much praise. We use ours in game controllers, remotes, a wireless mouse and a camera flash, and they take it all without a hiccup. Their real strength is low self discharge: pulled out of a drawer after months of neglect, they are still nearly full and ready to use, where a bargain rechargeable would already be flat. On the camera flash they keep recycling at a steady pace without slowing down, a good sign of consistency cell to cell. Sold in packs of 8, they pay for themselves quickly against disposables, especially with a decent charger. The capacity sits a bit below the Pro versions, but in exchange they handle far more cycles and age more gracefully over the years. The one small catch, true of any NiMH cell, is that they put out 1.2V instead of the 1.5V of an alkaline, which occasionally bothers a very voltage-sensitive device. Outside of that, this is a purchase you will not regret.

Panasonic Eneloop Pro BQ-CC65 Charger

See price and availability (21)

The most complete eneloop charger: detailed LCD screen, individual charging for 1 to 4 batteries, Refresh mode and a USB port to top up a device.

  • Screen: 3 inch LCD (V, mAh, Wh)
  • Slots: 4, individual charging
  • Functions: Refresh, 5V USB output
  • Charge: Fast, ~2h for 2 AA pro
  • Full LCD screen and Refresh mode, the most advanced eneloop
The Panasonic Eneloop Pro BQ-CC65 is the most advanced charger in the eneloop range. Its LCD screen shows the voltage, capacity and remaining charge time of each AA or AAA battery inserted, from 1 to 4 at once. The Refresh mode brings tired batteries back to life by fully discharging then recharging them, and a USB output can top up a smartphone whenever no battery is charging. Automatic end of charge detection protects each cell individually.
In-depth reviewRead our full review → 4.1/5 We tested this charger for several weeks with a mixed batch of old and new eneloop pro AA and AAA batteries, and the LCD screen really changes things: you can see the voltage of each cell at a glance, its restored capacity in mAh, and above all you spot a tired cell before you even start charging it. The Refresh mode gave a real second wind to old batteries that had been sitting in a drawer for months, with a measurable capacity gain. Individual per-slot charging is a genuine plus: you can mix AA and AAA without a second thought. The USB port for topping up a phone is handy, even though it pauses battery charging while it is in use. The only real downsides are the price, well above basic chargers, and a faint hum while charging. On a few badly worn batteries, detection can also be a bit temperamental. It still remains the most complete and informative eneloop charger on the market, built for anyone who genuinely takes care of their rechargeable batteries.

Panasonic Eneloop Pro AA 2500mAh

See price and availability (13)

The high-capacity version of the Eneloop: 2500 mAh to last longer in power-hungry devices like camera flashes, game controllers or demanding toys.

  • Capacity / Voltage: 2500 mAh (min. 2450) / 1.2V
  • Rechargeable: Yes, up to 500 cycles (Ni-MH)
  • Pack size: Pack of 4
  • Highest Eneloop capacity, ideal for power-hungry devices
The Panasonic Eneloop Pro AA are the high-capacity variant of the famous Eneloop line. With 2500 mAh (versus 1900 mAh for standard Eneloop), they are the brand's most enduring NiMH rechargeable cells, designed for power-hungry devices: camera flashes, game controllers, toys, powerful lights. Shipped pre-charged and ready to use, they keep up to 85% of their capacity after a year of storage. In return for that capacity, they handle fewer cycles than standard Eneloop (about 500 versus 2100). Sold in packs of 4.
We keep a set of Eneloop Pro AA in the camera bag, and that is really where they shine. On a speedlight flash, the capacity difference against standard Eneloop shows: recycle time stays fast for longer, and you get more shots before needing a recharge. Same story on a heavily used game controller or a demanding light, where the 2500 mAh give plenty of headroom. They arrive charged, ready to use, and hold their charge well from one session to the next. The trade-off to know is their longevity: the Pro version handles fewer cycles than the standard Eneloop (about 500 versus 2100) and self-discharges a little faster at rest. In other words, for everyday use in low-drain devices (remotes, mice), standard Eneloop remain more relevant and more durable. But as soon as a device demands a lot of energy, the Pro clearly make the difference. An excellent buy for anyone who shoots with flash or games a lot.

Panasonic NCR18650B 3400mAh

$9.41 (11)

The undisputed benchmark of 18650 batteries: 3400 mAh of capacity, flawless Japanese quality and reliability that make it the basis of many battery packs.

  • Capacity / Voltage: 3400 mAh / 3.6V-3.7V
  • Rechargeable: Yes, Lithium-ion (Flat Top)
  • Pack size: Sold per cell
  • The 18650 benchmark, high capacity and reliability
The Panasonic NCR18650B is the benchmark lithium-ion cell in the 18650 format. With 3400 mAh, a nominal voltage of 3.6 to 3.7V and proven reliability, it is one of the highest-capacity and most sought-after cells of this format. We offer it here in an unprotected Flat Top version (65 x 18 mm), the most compatible with torches and devices. It also serves as the basis for many packs, power banks and e-bikes. Beware of the many counterfeits online: the ones offered here are 100% genuine.
In the 18650 world, the NCR18650B is the yardstick, and for good reasons. We used it in high-end torches and to rebuild a small pack, and every time the rated capacity is there: 3400 mAh is among the best in a cell of this format, with runtime that is clearly noticeable against low-end 18650s. Consistency is the other strength: from one cell to the next, performance is steady, which matters when you assemble several in series or parallel. We chose the unprotected Flat Top version, more compact and accepted by more devices, but that is a point to check: some lights require a protected cell (Button Top), slightly longer. Another warning, and not a minor one: counterfeits abound online for this format, often recycled cells sold above their real capacity, hence the importance of a serious source. Finally, like any bare lithium cell, it requires a suitable charger and careful handling. For anyone who knows what they are doing, it is simply the best 18650 basis on the market.

Panasonic Eneloop BQ-CC55 charger

See price and availability (10)

The reference smart charger for AA and AAA NiMH batteries: per-slot charging, automatic detection and 4 eneloop batteries included.

  • Formats: AA/AAA (NiMH)
  • Slots: 4, individual charging
  • Charge: Fast, ~3h for 4 AA
  • Safety: Detection, overcharge protection
  • Smart per-slot charging, 4 eneloop included
The Panasonic Eneloop BQ-CC55 is a smart charger for AA and AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries. It charges up to 4 batteries at once, with individual management of each slot: each cell is charged then monitored separately, which preserves their lifespan. Automatic detection and overcharge and overheat protections ensure safe charging. Fast (about 3 hours for 4 AA), compact and supplied with 4 eneloop 2000mAh batteries, it is the safe bet to equip the whole home.
We adopted it and we are not going back: this little Panasonic replaced all our disposable batteries. Per-slot individual charging really changes things, you can mix two AA and one AAA without a second thought, and each cell is treated according to its state. The supplied eneloop live up to their promise, you find them charged even after months in a drawer. Compact, quiet, it barely warms up. The only real complaint: no screen, just LEDs, so no precise info on capacity or remaining time, which is enough for home use but will frustrate enthusiasts. At this price, with 4 eneloop included, it is the best starting point to switch to rechargeable batteries.

Panasonic Eneloop Pro AAA 930mAh

See price and availability (7)

The high-capacity AAA version of the Eneloop: 930 mAh to last longer in power-hungry devices, wireless mics, headlamps or demanding mice.

  • Capacity / Voltage: 930 mAh (min. 900) / 1.2V
  • Rechargeable: Yes, up to 500 cycles (Ni-MH)
  • Pack size: Pack of 4
  • Highest AAA capacity in the Eneloop range
The Panasonic Eneloop Pro AAA are the high-capacity variant of the Eneloop line in the AAA format. With 930 mAh (versus 800 mAh for standard Eneloop), they are the brand's most enduring AAA NiMH cells, designed for devices that drain batteries fast: wireless mics, powerful headlamps, gaming mice, toys. Shipped pre-charged and ready to use, they keep up to 85% of their capacity after a year of storage. In return, they handle fewer cycles than standard Eneloop (about 500). Sold in packs of 4.
In AAA, capacity quickly makes the difference, and that is where the Eneloop Pro stand out. We put them in a wireless lavalier mic and a trail headlamp, two devices that draw hard on small cells, and the runtime gained over standard AAA is clear: you record longer, you light longer. They arrive charged and ready to use, and hold their charge well between sessions. As on the AA version, the trade-off is the cycle count: about 500 recharges, versus over 2000 for standard Eneloop, and slightly faster self-discharge at rest. For remotes or a clock, standard Eneloop remain more suitable and more durable. But for any power-hungry AAA device, these Pro offer the best runtime available in this format. A worthwhile investment for anyone using demanding gear.
