This is what I'm getting with my package. Got that with four AA
batteries and then another package of eight AA batteries. My old
chargers are pair chargers and also are "rapid" chargers which are
known to turn NiMH cells into incendiary devices.

I'm always tempted to save a dime and get some other brand. But
Amazon's price on the eneloops was right in line with what I wanted to
spend, so I'm happy. The risk/reward calculations showed me that I
might as well get the real deal.
I may be a tightwad, but...
