The Eneloop AA XX are 2450mah but they are 500 charge/discharge cycles , the standard latest version Eneloop AA are 1900mah and 2100 charge/discharge cycles, there are older 1800 and 1500 cycle version still for sale but the newest are 2100 cycles.

I also heard that Duracell AA nimh with a white positive end are re-badged Eneloops , people call then DuraLoops.

EDIT: If you are looking for a charger that will make you battery`s last for years, this one will fully charge them without overcharging and damaging them, I have had 100+ charger, i am a bit of an addict and i always use this one for AA nimh battery`s and it`s on sale for $10
