Okay, so today we're going to unbox the famous Sano Enaloop batteries. So, it's
0:05
about 30 bucks to buy four batteries and a charger. And doing some very rough
0:09
math, uh, compared to buying just like some regular Duracell batteries at the
0:14
grocery store, which is about four bucks for four batteries, you only need to
0:19
charge these, Wow. If I'm going to be able to get this open, you only need to
0:22
charge them about 7 to eight times to
0:26
have them start paying for themselves. Now, Sano advertises that they can be
0:30
charged as many as a thousand times with
0:34
the uh the statement over 40 billion single-use batteries were disposed of
0:38
worldwide last year. Isn't it time to go and charge to go rechargeable? So, here
0:42
we have the uh the battery charger itself. The manual is glued to the back.
0:47
The instructions are fairly simple. Basically, you can charge two or four
0:51
batteries at a time. I actually own like three of these chargers and like
0:54
probably 20, 30 of these batteries. So, you either put them in the one side or
0:59
you put them in the other side or you put in all four. Now, it won't work
1:04
until you remove the little plastic strip that's up here covering the
1:07
contacts and then you're ready to go. You can actually charge both double A's
1:11
and AAA's using this charger. So, it's just a little wall plug right there. And
1:15
then we can have a look at the batteries themselves. Now, one of the special
1:19
things about Analoops is that a they last a really long time compared to
1:22
other rechargeable batteries. And like I said, I can vouch for that personally.
1:26
And B, they actually come pre-charged. So if you just desperately need
1:30
batteries for something, you can just grab a pack of Analoops, throw them in.
1:34
They come with like a 60% charge or 70% charge, use them for a while, then
1:38
recharge them when you need to. Thanks for checking out my blog on the Sano and
1:42
Loop rechargeable batteries.
