Is my eneloop HR-3UTGA real or fake?

[xxrenxx]

Hi guys, I need some help from eneloop(new version) user here. I have bought 1 set of 4AA eneloop from OP today but after compare with the 2 sets I have at home(old version), the head of the battery is somehow different. My old version eneloop have "small opening" on the head but the new version that I brought from OP today did not have and also ...

I posted some photo that I took.

new battery - old battery - notice the small opening and the color different

new battery - old battery - notice the different size on the base of the battery

new battery - the printing

Thanks for the help!

One is HR-3UTG 2000mAh and the other one is HR-3UTGA 1900mAh. Both are original I suppose.

For the old battery on the right it is original but i am unsure of the new ones on the left. The different is quite huge if look at the photo i posted. I do not want to risk charging or using it on my equip unless it is the real stuff:cry:

I have 6 sets of 4 batts of Eneloop. 4 sets the white one, and 2 sets colored ones. Both my HR-3UTG 2000mAh (white) and HR-3UTGA 1900mAh (colored) have the little holes at the top.

Oh... and I bought the colored ones from OP just on Friday...

So can i conclude that the HR-3UTGA i got from them might be a fake 1:angry::angry:

Sanyo singapore was close on weekends. I gave them a call this morning and confirm that the 1 i got is original. Their customer service officer told me that eneloop manufacture at Nov 2010 does not have the "small opening" on the tip of the battery and the base is slightly bigger (refer to the photo above.)

Since it has been confirm that my battery are real, thread shall be closed

Thanks for the above bro that reply to this thread! Have a wonderful new year(2nd last day;p)
