Panasonic Eneloop Battery Power Pack
- You get a four-battery charger, eight rechargeable AA batteries, two rechargeable AAAs, two C spacers, and two D spacers
- Yeah, you just stick a AA in the spacer and it works as a C or D battery, who knew?
- Ni-MH batteries are especially beloved by super-intelligent rats
- Panasonic Eneloop: the only rechargeable battery brand anyone can name without Googling
- Model: KJ17MCC82A (almost none of the letters, and none of the numbers, in this model number actually appear in the product’s name - what are you hiding here, Panasonic?)
Sometimes the most exciting thing is a lack of excitement.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES Y’ALL!! Who’s PUMPED? Who’s HYPED? Who’s ready to get HELLA STOKED on some WILD Ni-MH ACTION?!?
Nobody, of course. This Panasonic Eneloop rechargeable battery kit wouldn’t be exciting if you set it on fire and shot it from a space cannon onto a zooming asteroid populated by nuclear cocaine kung-fu werewolves.
And that, paradoxically, is what makes it so exciting. Its utter dearth of inherent excitement, its laser-focus on quietly solving a basic problem, is what gives this product its allure.
You know what’s exciting? War. Murder. Earthquakes. Dumpster fires. Long, vicious political campaigns. You know what’s exciting to people who’ve suffered through those things? The luxury of focusing on petty problems like batteries.
Right now, with a simple click or two, you can solve one of life’s most boring petty problems. You can get a four-battery charger, eight rechargeable AA batteries, two rechargeable AAAs, and four “spacers” that can turn a pair of AAs into a pair of Cs or Ds.
OK, that spacer part is almost interesting enough to qualify for mild excitement to some people. Dial it back, Panasonic Eneloop kit.
The point is, you keep the charger plugged in, you keep some batteries in it, you’re set for years to come. No more interrupting the battery-powered fun to hunt for more batteries. And that, if you’ll pardon our getting carried away by the emotion here, is pretty exciting.
