I have also seen low self discharge nimh DURACELL (Duraloop) in some Costcos. Just look for the Made in Japan. I have about 60+ AA and AAA of the above for several years and all have worked fine with no leaks and all near their stated 1900mAh capacity. |

The ones made in Japan are supposed to be made in the same factory as the Sanyo/Panasonic Eneloops. The Ikea Ladda ones are low self discharge. --- End quote --- White LADDA is eneloop pro and is made in Japan at FDK factory (Fujitsu subsidiary). Low capacity tan colored batteries are made in China (might be that part of them are still made in Japan) and are something else. |

My low capacity 1000mAh AA and 500mAh AAA ones are Made in Japan. When I bought them a few years ago, I can't remember if I saw Made in China ones or not. I bought the low AA and AAA ones mainly for remote control devices around the house that don't need all the extra capacity. |

For AA cells you want Enloop 4th generation BK-3MCC (BK-3MCCE?) and for AAA cells BK-4MCC (BK-4MCCE?). These have the highest specified number of watt-hours. If detailed specifications are not available for a cell, then ignore it as it is likely trash no matter what the brand is. |
