Sanyo has announced a new addition to their lineup of enloop batteries, the XX (double X). These batteries are designed to keep your high powered gadgets running at peak performance. These Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries are ready to go right out of the box and retain 75% of their charge for up to 1 year. For the envroiomentally consious these rechargable batteries come pre-charged via solar power. Packs of 4 AA batteries are available for presale on Amazon and should be available at retailers this month with a MSRP of 24.99.

“Standard eneloop batteries are perfect for powering common household devices but XX powered by eneloop provides 25% more power for extreme usage requirements. And speaking of extreme, XX powered by eneloop provides rechargeable battery power even when temperatures get down to -4 degrees Fahrenheit,” said Tom Van Voy, Vice President and General Manager of the Digital Solutions Division for SANYO North America.With Typ. 2500 mAh1 capacity, the XX powered by eneloop last longer so they do not need to be recharged as often. The XX powered by eneloop can be recharged up to 500 times(see *3).Main Features
1. Powered by eneloop technology
High capacity and a low self-discharge
With the high capacity of Typ. 2500 mAh1 in the AA-size, the new XX battery powered by eneloop technology from SANYO offers heavy users of rechargeable batteries, such as professional photographers, peace of mind that their equipment will keep running longer when they need it even if the batteries have not been recharged recently.
2. Stable voltage and longer power life than Alkaline batteries
Like the original ready-to-use eneloop rechargeable batteries, the new XX powered by eneloop continues to provide a stable voltage throughout its discharge cycle. This is particularly useful for devices using high electrical currents, such as gaming equipment, wireless keyboard and mouse, as well as professional photography equipment. A more stable discharge allows for longer use of the battery, as it is usually when the voltage is reduced, or when performance is reduced, that people think about recharging.
3. Black and silver design
A symbolism of its appropriateness for professional use, the XX powered by eneloop sports a black and silver design. The new design has taken inspiration from gadget users and their affinity for ‘digital fashion’. SANYO’s eneloop is already renowned for its design traits and this new battery with its black background and subtle silver crosses further emphasizes both SANYO’s commitment to offering the latest in digital fashion as well as its design capabilities.
About SANYO eneloop Technology
For more than 35 years, SANYO has been a leading manufacturer of rechargeable batteries. With its longstanding heritage as a battery technology leader, SANYO’s new XX batteries powered by eneloop technology utilize the most advanced, highest capacity, rechargeable battery technology available, allowing them to last longer than any eneloop battery before. Typical rechargeable batteries exhibit a “memory effect”; a term used to describe the effects on the overall life of the battery when it goes through charge and discharge cycles. SANYO eneloop batteries represent a key innovation combining the best of both types of batteries, coming pre-charged and ready-to-use with an extremely low rate of self-discharge, which means they can hold their stored energy for a very long time. New chemistries and advancements in technology allow SANYO’s XX rechargeable batteries powered by eneloop to outperform alkaline batteries in many high power drain and low temperature applications.
