eneloop:

• can be used right after the purchase
• has a high performance
• has a long shelf life with no loss of energy
• can be used everywhere
• is cheap in purchase and usage
• is environmental friendly
• is easy to use

So far these requirements could not be satisfied by a single type of batteries. 
The only choice was disposable batteries or rechargeable batteries.

ADVANTAGES of DISPOSABLE Batteries: 

• they can be used immediately
• they have a long shelf life with low loss of energy
• they are rather cheap in purchase
• they are easy to use and no charger is required

DISADVANTAGES of DISPOSABLE Batteries:

• can be used only once and therefore mean substantial waste and risk for the environment.
• have to be purchased over and over again and are therefore expensive considering the life-time of your equipment.
• are not quite powerful enough in certain applications ( like digital cameras )
• are being offered in many varieties and special application-specific types, which confuses the consumer. 

ADVANTAGES of RECHARGEABLE Batteries:

• high performance, especially if high discharge currents are required ( like in digital cameras )
• cheap in use, because they can be recharged many times.
• environmental friendly, because one rechargeable battery replaces 1000 disposable batteries.
• good performance at low temperatures.

DISADVANTAGES of RECHARGEABLE Batteries: 

• After purchase, rechargeable batteries have to be charged before they can be used. 
• Rechargeable batteries lose the stored energy rather fast.
• The state of charge is hard to determine.
• Continuous charging or frequent charge ( without complete discharge ) can destroy the battery.
• Proper charging is complicated for an average consumer
• The charging takes quite long and rapid chargers are expensive. 

All these negative attributes have one root-cause:   self discharge. 

Which means that a charged battery slowly discharges itself without any equipment consuming any current. 
This is the reason for rechargeable batteries being sold in discharged state.  When you came to use them the energy
was gone.

eneloop:

combines the benefits of
 
Rechargeable & Disposable Batteries

• immediate use

• low self-discharge

• environment protection

• universal application

• higher performance

• recyclable package

The key-advantage of the eneloop compared to usual rechargeable batteries is its extremely low self-discharge.

In contrast to a disposable battery the eneloop can be charged 1000 times.
