The Eneloop brand has diversified into light blue '''Eneloop Lite''' cells with less capacity (950 mAh for AA cells and 550 mAh for AAA) and supposedly less cost, designed for use in low-drain devices like remotes. Sanyo claims these lighter weight versions of Eneloops can be recharged 2,000 times. Introduced in June 2010<ref>[http://panasonic.net/sanyo/news/2010/03/08-1.pdf Eneloop Lite product announcement] March 8, 2010</ref>. | The Eneloop brand has diversified into light blue '''Eneloop Lite''' cells with less capacity (950 mAh for AA cells and 550 mAh for AAA) and supposedly less cost, designed for use in low-drain devices like remotes.

In late 2010, Sanyo introduced black '''Sanyo XX''' cells using Eneloop technology (higher capacity than Eneloops at 2500 mAh for AA, but not as low self-discharge: more like 75% after a year and said to be good for 500 cycles). These were marketed primarily in Europe. In 2011, these batteries were renamed '''Eneloop Pro''' but keep the black wrapper<ref>[http://panasonic.net/sanyo/news/2011/06/09-1.pdf Eneloop Pro and Plus product announcement] June 9, 2011</ref>. | In late 2010, Sanyo introduced black '''Sanyo XX''' cells using Eneloop technology (higher capacity than Eneloops at 2500 mAh for AA, but not as low self-discharge: more like 75% after a year and said to be good for 500 cycles).

The '''Eneloop Plus''' was introduced at the same time as the Eneloop Pro. The Plus has a thermistor that monitors temperature of the battery and will cut off power in case of a dead short or if batteries are inserted incorrectly. | The '''Eneloop Plus''' was introduced at the same time as the Eneloop Pro.
