Technology is becoming more user-friendly with
each new advancement.
But until recently, one crucial part of the tech
experience was bogging everything down:
Battery life.
The better our devices get, the more they require
reliable and long lasting sources of energy.
However, no one wants to fuddle around with
tangled wires anymore, and traditional,
disposable batteries are an environmental
nightmare.
provide a much-needed alternative to this
modern-era pain point.
Putting power to the test
Paul Hunter, game content creator for Vine,
recently tested eneloop batteries, which are
widely considered the best rechargeable batteries
on the market. With high hopes for gamers
everywhere, he set out to see how they
performed.
"No doubt about it, eneloop are the best
rechargeable batteries I've tried yet." Hunter
said after using eneloop batteries with his
gaming controllers. "I was thoroughly impressed
with how long the charge lasted — over 24 hours
of logged game time — before the batteries
needed a recharge. I also didn't experience any
wireless signal or power loss over that time
period, making it smooth, flawless game playing.
We all know battery reliability is crucial to a fun
gaming experience, and here, eneloop has a clear
edge."
A ringing endorsement, for sure — and there are
even more benefits than sheer performance. First
off, you don't even have to charge them up
before your first use; they're ready to go right
out of the package. Second, the cells are
charged by solar energy, so when you do need
to charge up, the process is an eco-friendly one.
Third, the batteries are built to last. You can
recharge them over 2100 times, which will help
save the environment and your wallet at the
same time.
Hunter put that fact into perspective: "If I
recharged my game controllers twice a week, I
would only use 1040 charges after a full 10
years of use." Pretty impressive stuff.
What's more, eneloop AA and AAA batteries are
compatible with an intelligent charging system
that Hunter says, "gives you the freedom to
completely charge up to 4 AA or AAA batteries in
any combination, as each battery is recharged
independently."
The eneloop charger also has an individual
automatic shutoff for each battery cell, which
means that you'll be able to charge your
batteries the night before without worrying about
negative effects on the battery's performance.
It's perfect for gearing up for gaming nights,
"hack-a-thons," or children's play dates.
Hunter ended his review on a personal note.
"After telling my wife about these batteries,
she's already taken a bunch for her wireless
keyboard and mouse. Gamers need powerful,
reliable, and long-lasting rechargeable batteries,
and from my testing and research, eneloop
satisfies all these needs."
