Yes
As titled, I would like to know where you buy yours and where I should look for a reliable seller as I have read there are many fakes cashing in on this brand.

7dayshop sell them but they don't seem to be listed as official on eneloop's site.

Alos, I've seen an 8 pack with free cases. Anyone bought this before? Are they new unopened packs with the free cases or do they come loose in the cases?

Many thanks

7 dayshop own brand.. come complete with a handy carry case (or did when I ordered them). I've a pack of genuine eneloops somewhere (from Amazon I think), but never needed to open them as I've far too many sets of batteries.
 
Thanks guys.
I do have some Uniross 2100mah and Sony 2500mah. However, the Sony's are no good, not sure if it's my charger or the batteries (have Uniross ultra fast charger)

I might stick with the Uniross for now (for external flash). I've used thos for my previous cameras (point & shoots)
 
I replaced some uniross 2500mAh with the 7day batteries.. I wouldn't go back to standard rechargeables now. The new ones just sit there ready to use, no need to charge the night before you need them.

I've just received 4 packs of 7Dayshops own branded batteries (ready to go).

Cheaper than Eneloops time will tell if they are any good.
 
I stocked up on Eneloops from 7 day shp when I bought my flash setup, some of them came in a wall charger for about £2 more than just the batteries so I got one of thse and a seperate chrger that works in the car or at home. No had any problems with them at all and they hold their charge between usage too.
 
I got my Eneloops from SRS Microsystems. Not the cheapest but dead reliable.

I have no experience of Vapextechs, but in another of my hobbies, radio controled flying, they are getting very good reviews.

Not the cheapest? They're twice the price of everyone else!

I've used VapexTech batteries in RC too, and they are good for the money. Currently have some NiMh 2900's for my flashes, which have been good but are getting old now and showing their age. When I come to replace them I would have no problems in ordering them again.
 
I didn't go for eneloops but rather the well-recommended Ansmann batteries.
 
Pic mine up from Asda / George.

Maybe so, but in general SRS are very competitive and their service is (as far as I have found) unequaled. I am prepared to pay for this - my choice.

As far as I know, Eneloops are a Sanyo product.
