Who makes the new Apple rechargeable batteries? We think it’s SANYO (eneloop).
- The SANYO eneloops are made in Japan and also 1900 mAh 1.2v
- The Apple batteries are made in Japan and also 1900 mAh 1.2v
According to the candlepower forums SANYO uses a white top, the Apple batteries use a black top.
We don’t think Apple started manufacturing these in Japan, we think it’s more likely they licensed the eneloop from SANYO and re-branded them. The charger is made in China, but not the batteries. We’ll see what other clues we can dig up.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I’ve been wondering this myself; really doubt they’ve started up their own production. Will be interesting to see what clues you guys dig up.
