I have 4 Sanyo Eneloop XX batteries that are about 2 years old and they do not seem to hold a charge. I charge them on a Nitecore D2 and have noticed a few things:
1) If I charge them until the charger says "full", take them off, wait a few minutes and put them back in the charger it will charge them for another 15 minutes or so until it says full again.
2) If I charge them and store them for a couple of weeks, when I put them back in the charger they are very low (like 1.3 volts), so I have to recharge them again.
3) When I put a fully charged one in my Zebralight SC52, it will give 4 blinks on the battery indicator. But after a day or so, it will be giving only 1 blink even if I didn't use the light.
Do the batteries sound defective? Seems like they are not holding a charge to me, but they have basically been this way from the beginning. Thanks in advance.
