New “Eneloop” Rechargeable Batteries From Sanyo

Sanyo has developed a rechargeable battery that comes charged — so buyers don’t have to charge it before use. The new battery is a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) cell of the type commonly found in many portable electronics products but with a key difference. Typically, NiMH batteries lose charge over time if they are not used. Sanyo said its new battery loses about 15 percent of its charge after a year of no use compared to competing batteries that lose almost all their charge over the same period.

The battery technology, which will be used in an AA-battery that will go on sale in Japan in the middle of November, is the first product to be born from Sanyo’s “Think Gaia” corporate restructuring plan. Under the leadership of Chairman Tomoyo Nonaka, Sanyo is attempting to refocus around environmentally-friendly products.

The batteries, carrying the “Eneloop” product name, will go on sale starting November 14. A pack of two AA batteries will cost $10. They will also be available in packs of four and eight, and also with a recharger. AAA-size batteries in the same range will go on sale in Japan on January 21, 2006, and cost $8 for a pack of two.

Honda EX350 Mini Generator




If I recalled correctly, this Honda mini genset (slightly larger than the size of a basketball!) is only rated at about 150 watts continous and 300watts peak power. It's a 2 stroke engine that requires 2T fuel lubricant mixing. It's very small, very light and runs very quietly!

I am kicking myself for not buying this small genset previously because they are no longer in production! Damn! I'm still wishing for manufacturers to come out with gensets at this size!


Robin Generator



Weighs about 20kg fully loaded with petrol, the 4-stroke engine provides close to 3 hrs of usage with the internal 2litre tank. Rated power is 450watts continous, with peaks at 550watts.
