[KX3] FYI - Eneloop XX Battery Manufacturer Change

[Joel Black-2]

I was about to purchase some additional Eneloop XX 2500 mAh batteries this morning from Amazon.com <http://amazon.com/>. I went back to previous purchases and noticed that they were no longer available. Copying-and-pasting in the search window found them again, but they’re now manufactured by Panasonic (previously, they were Sanyo).

I cannot imagine there is any difference in the batteries. I’ve never had anything buy high praises for the Eneloop XX batteries. I put them in *everything* that’s why I need more. :) Eight are in the KX3 at all times and I have about eight more scattered throughout the house in remote controls, BT keyboards, etc.

If you don’t hear anything back from me, I guess they work just fine. :)

73,
Joel - W4JBB

I've had good luck with the Amazon basics high capacity, i think they are
basically the same as the Eneloop XX.

The explanation is that Sanyo and Panasonic merged some time ago, and they
finally retired the Sanyo brand. But those are the same batteries.
