I'm keeping a mumber of my first generation Eneloops around. Around 10% of the ones I bought in the 2010s died, the others are still duing duty in my TV remote control etc.

The ones that died mostly died because of staying in a moving box for around 6 years or so after I divorced and forgot about them.

So I'm amazed how many of them just keep working.
