How do we know when the "new production" units are in stock? I do not want to be putting dents in my eneloop batteries with "too tight" contacts.

That issue was addressed long ago. All current shipping chargers use the .2mm thick contact material for that issue. Using .2mm thick material instead of the .3mm thick material give more "spring" to the contacts and cured that issue noted by some users. Those have been shipping since 2014.

Full details: Amazon has taken control of this listing. They have removed all reference to Version 2.1 in the title and description. The listing is now open to offers from sellers in the grey market with inventory that is not authentic Version 2.1. Caveat emptor. DL Portable Power is the only retailer of authentic Version 2.1 chargers. All chargers shipping now, 7-4-2014 and after, sold directly by merchant DL Portable Power have been reworked to alleviate the tight fit issue. Inventory at Amazon fulfillment centers may still contain some chargers with this issue. However only a small number of chargers seem to have the issue. This appears to be a variation is manufacturing process. This will be addressed in future production with a material change so that variation in process will not cause any issues. Those chargers will be available in August 2014 and after. The chargers with that change can be identified with the model "BT-C2000 Version 2.1" printed on the back of the charger. Previous versions had only firmware version to identify the version level. Chargers with that identification will be new production. If you have any issue with a charger sold by DL Portable Power, either Amazon fulfillment or direct merchant fulfillment, contact the seller directly for quick resolution of any issues. Hope that helps answer some questions. Thanks, Update: 9-2-2014. All inventory should now be V2.1 with redesigned contacts. This should address all know issues. This applies to all units sold by DL Portable Power. Update: 9-3-2014 Latest V2.1 charger without accessories. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MYQ8IYS

Without getting into the technical aspects such as mAh charge capacity, discharge rate, number of cycles, etc. It really comes down to purchasing from a trusted vendor. I if the new battery doesn't hold a charge, it's most likely not a new battery. As for determining if the battery is "Fresh". These batteries are sometimes not charged until you first charge them.

Stuart i don't know ebl - but i am using the eneloop for a while - that battery manufacturers are writing as capacity and what the battery is actual giving out are 2 tings - esp after you used them 20+ times the eneloop is made for dependency and for long live - they will hold most of their charge even after one year storage - the price is a little lest mah other batteries can give you more mah but loosing most of it in the first month of storage - so depending where you are using it you should choose. I prefer eneloop because I know i have something solid for the next years - they hardly dies in the charger last pretty long and holding their charge. This doesn't say that other ones are not equal.

I saw a notice on the ZeroLemon web site implying that they will have them again on April 25. I suppose that means Amazon will have them around then, too.

The version that I received when I purchased this SKU was V11. Edit: Purchase date of April 25, 2013, so maybe they have new units in stock.

I've been using eneloop generation 1 batteries in my panasonic cordless phones for 6 months. No problems; never expected any anyhow.

It's seems you guys are out of stock of the 7500 batteries, any idea when you'll get more in? At least I can't find it searching all over amazon.

Hey all! I am also extremely interested in the upcoming Zeikos battery grip for the D7000. I connected with customer support through the Zeikos website (much like @graceful did) and they just informed me that their development department will not have this product ready until the end of April. This is a real downer. Another full month without an alternative to the overprices MB-D11 option.

Thanks, I already ordered the eneloop charger anyway because I just wasn't sure. At least this way I'll know I have two capable chargers. Jim

yeh propman...you read my review...watch out as you will not know untill sent....there isc a manufacture code on the batteryn that you can verify nwith optima...do not trust the date code (round) sticker as it is the ship date from the factory...not the manufacture date...fortunately...amazon backs their product and will and have replaced an old shipped optima...so buy with confidance...amazon has your back...just call them if older than 4 mo...you are correct...these need a full charge in a reasonable amount of time...they only come 40% from the factory...god luck and good fishin'

It's a little late for you I imagine, but hopefully it'll help someone else because I had the same question. The one I purchased did not look like the picture I see now. Mine holds 25 AAA, and I purchased it a month ago, but now it shows a picture which only holds 10 AAA, and has extra C and 9 volt storage. In the one I ordered, Eneloop batteries fit very well and have no issues. I had 1 or 2 holes that were a little tight with alkaline batteries, but nothing ridiculous, and no issues remove the batteries or having to not use certain holes like others have mentioned.
