Notes to Editors:
Outline and Background:
‘eneloop’ originated from the concept of “looping energy”. Since the first release of ‘eneloop’ in November 2005, the product has received high market appraisal for its cost-effective and environmentally friendly features. The batteries come pre-charged like a dry cell, and are economical and environmental as they are able to be recharged for repeated use as well as fully recyclable at the end of its lifecycle. In total, over 130 million ‘eneloop’ battery cells have been shipped to more than 60 countries worldwide (as of the end of July, 2010).
In 2006, SANYO began developing the ‘eneloop universe’ products, by expanding the ‘eneloop’ concept with new products such as the ‘eneloop solar charger’ and the rechargeable ‘eneloop kairo’ hand warmer. In 2007, SANYO began to develop the ‘eneloop mobile booster’ series of products for use as supplemental power sources and emergency chargers for various mobile devices. The series included the KBC-E1AS charger set equipped with a USB power port and powered by two AA-size ‘eneloop’ batteries, the KBC-L2AS and L3AS models with USB power ports powered by lithium-ion batteries, the ‘eneloop stick booster (KBC-D1AS)’ a handy power source with a USB power port and the ‘eneloop music booster (KBC-9VS)’ for Music Devices.
As products licensed by Nintendo, SANYO has actively been distributing contactless charger sets (N-WR01S and N0WR03S) that enable users to easily recharge the Wii(R)*3 remote control without removing the remote jacke
