I picked some up this weekend and I'm giving them a try.  I'd like to try out the hybrios also.  I don't know that we can read too much into the 85% vs. 70% after one year claims until these have actually been tested.  Sanyos could be better, or could be that Uniross is just being more truthful about the actual performance of their batteries.  Speaking for myself, if they can hold 80% of their charge for 2 months or more, I'd be very happy!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Douglas C Perrenoud]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 16th 2006 4:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hybrio batteries bridge gap between disposables and rechargables]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/hybrio-batteries-bridge-gap-between-disposables-and-rechargables/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/hybrio-batteries-bridge-gap-between-disposables-and-rechargables/</guid><description><![CDATA[what's more interesting is to know the financial details of the WWF logo transaction.

I have refused to buy disposable batteries for years, due to my environmental standpoint. But am sometimes caught out when I require fresh batteries, fully charged, instantly. There now exists almost no reason to buy disposables now. Hopefully this technology can be utilised by other manufacturers, and prices will come down.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gaz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 8th 2006 10:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hybrio batteries bridge gap between disposables and rechargables]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/hybrio-batteries-bridge-gap-between-disposables-and-rechargables/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/hybrio-batteries-bridge-gap-between-disposables-and-rechargables/</guid><description><![CDATA[I dunno if the price would be lower in the states, but if you straight convert it, it would be something like 25 dollars american.

Most 4packs of AA rechargables with an included charger is 25-30$ in your local bestbuy, or electronics store. And yes I know with bargain hunting you can get them cheaper, but i'm saying this toward the average american that buys their items at face value when they walk in the local bestbuy.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[calibur]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 8th 2006 11:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hybrio batteries bridge gap between disposables and rechargables]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/hybrio-batteries-bridge-gap-between-disposables-and-rechargables/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/hybrio-batteries-bridge-gap-between-disposables-and-rechargables/</guid><description><![CDATA[No mention of Sanyo's Eneloops, which do the same?  Supposedly they are 2000mAh NiMH batteries that retain 85-90% of their full charge after a year of sitting on the shelf.  They are also sold fully charged and cost about £8 for 4, without charger (but they must be imported at the moment).<br><br>I've got several pairs that are fantastic so far (and one set that I'm leaving fully charged to test).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pete]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 8th 2006 11:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hybrio batteries bridge gap between disposables and rechargables]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/hybrio-batteries-bridge-gap-between-disposables-and-rechargables/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/08/hybrio-batteries-bridge-gap-between-disposables-and-rechargables/</guid><description><![CDATA[Not to mention the fact that it's never a straight conversion from pounds to USD.
