Highest i can find is 2500mAh. is their a such thing as 3000mAh or higher for eneloop?


Nope, the highest are those black 2500mAh, which is pretty high.  But do some research into them, the white ones are just as good for most things.  The site has some charts showing the power drop off.

And I got mine from Amazon too, after a lot of searching, that was the cheapest I could find.

Here we go: http://www.eneloop.info/products/batteries/eneloop.html
The XX ones only have 500 charge cycles, as opposed to 1500 for regular Eneloops.

Quote
Using the new improved AA-size eneloop, the charging cycles have been increased by 1.5 times. Therefore eneloop tones can be recharged up to 1.500 times. Also the self discharge has been improved. You can store eneloop tones for 3 years and still they will retain 75% of their capacity.

 

In accordance with the Green Power Certification System, the eneloop tones batteries are charged by “green power” from photovoltaic generation. This means that a part of the electric power used for manufacturing eneloop tones (the amount equivalent to that used for factory pre-charging) is generated using clean, renewable solar energy, part of SANYO’s initiative to realize a “Clean Energy Loop,” where power is generated from renewable energy sources, stored for use when needed in batteries, and conserved or used efficiently for power-driven applications. Hence, eneloop tones truly embody the concepts of “energy” and “looping,” from production to performance.


and it sounds silly, but I really would recommend the glitter/tones ones, especially if you have devices that take 2 batteries and you buy two packs.
I bought a load of white ones, and found it hard to keep organised as to which ones were charged and which weren't.  If you put a charged and uncharged into a device, you don't know which is to blame.

I also use eneloops and love them.  I picked up a started pack from Costco initially which was pretty cheap, had a 4 battery charger and a good number of batteries.

I bought some engergizer 2500mAh, and i'm not to thrilled with them. While they are rechargeable, there battery life is not as good as a pair of duracells (atleast not in my gt they are not). I hope to buy the eneloops soon. My sister sent me a gift card to newegg for my birthday, and thats most likely what i will do with them.

Yeah, in my experience Eneloops > Duracell > Energizer. 

Unfortunately I bought a ton of Energizer rechargeables before coming to this conclusion....

agree. (havent tried eneloops yet but) Energizer suck. thats why i made a point of saying "duracell". you can save a dollar or two buying energizer, but they are worth way less overall. thats true for the non rechargeable also.

That's better than the rechargeable, handheld massagers that are featured prominently on my screen.

We had some Energisers from somewhere anyway, and then I spend about £12 on 4 of those super-high mAh Duracells, and they disappointed.  I'd say regular Eneloops last longer than those (in most things anyway, not sure about high power draw devices)

I was at the eneloop site last night looking up details. sanyo does not recommend rapid chargers for the eneloops. However, eneloops apparently have three times the life span of most rechargeables at 1500 cycles as opposed to 500. Sanyo claims they retain 75% of thier stored charge after three years of inactivity. Thats some really impressive stuff. I know my energizers can barly claim that after three weeks and they are new.
