Hard-core gamer puts the latest rechargeable battery technology through the ringer.

Technology is becoming more user-friendly with each new advancement.

But until recently, one crucial part of the tech experience was bogging everything down: Battery life.

The better our devices get, the more they require reliable and long lasting sources of energy. However, no one wants to fuddle around with tangled wires anymore, and traditional, disposable batteries are an environmental nightmare.

Luckily, eneloop™ rechargeable batteries can provide a much-needed alternative to this modern-era pain point.

Putting power to the test

Paul Hunter, game content creator for Vine, recently tested eneloop batteries, which are widely considered the best rechargeable batteries on the market. With high hopes for gamers everywhere, he set out to see how they performed.

"No doubt about it, eneloop are the best rechargeable batteries I've tried yet." Hunter said after using eneloop batteries with his gaming controllers. "I was thoroughly impressed with how long the charge lasted — over 24 hours of logged game time — before the batteries needed a recharge. I also didn't experience any wireless signal or power loss over that time period, making it smooth, flawless game playing. We all know battery reliability is crucial to a fun gaming experience, and here, eneloop has a clear edge."

A ringing endorsement, for sure — and there are even more benefits than shere performance. First off, you don't even have to charge them up before your first use; they're ready to go right out of the package. Second, the cells are charged by solar energy, so when you do need to charge up, the process is an eco-friendly one. Third, the batteries are built to last. You can recharge them over 2100 times, which will help save the environment and your wallet at the same time.

Hunter put that fact into perspective: "If I recharged my game controllers twice a week, I would only use 1040 charges after a full 10 years of use." Pretty impressive stuff.

What's more, eneloop AA and AAA batteries are compatible with an intelligent charging system that Hunter says, "gives you the freedom to completely charge up to 4 AA or AAA batteries in any combination, as each battery is recharged independently."

The eneloop charger also has an individual automatic shutoff for each battery cell, which means that you'll be able to charge your batteries the night before without worrying about negative effects on the battery's performance. It's perfect for gearing up for gaming nights, "hack-a-thons," or children's play dates.

Hunter ended his review on a personal note. "After telling my wife about these batteries, she's already taken a bunch for her wireless keyboard and mouse. Gamers need powerful, reliable, and long-lasting rechargeable batteries, and from my testing and research, eneloop satisfies all these needs."
