Seeing as Electric Picnic is only a week away you’d want to kit yourself out with all the festival gadgets you need while you still can. This week we have Sanyo Eneloop Batteries and Charger Kit.

If you’re going to Electric Picnic, or even if you’re just going to do a spot of camping in the woods, then the Sanyo Eneloop Batteries and Charger Kit is the perfect gadget for you. No doubt you’ll be bringing some sort of electrical device with you, such as a portable radio or a professional hand torch. But what do you do when the batteries die? Usually, empty batteries will render your electrical device absolutely useless – unless you make a living from juggling, that is.

However, with thanks to the Sanyo Eneloop Batteries and Charger Kit you can keep your batteries juiced no matter what you’re up to. This means you won’t be stuck for light in the middle of the night because your torch decided to up and die.


The Eneloop Charger Kit is extremely portable making it the perfect festival device

One of the great things about these batteries is that Sanyo has taken the benefits from regular rechargeable batteries and combined them with the best of alkaline ones. The Eneloop is the world’s first rechargeable battery that is pre-charged and ready for use when taken out of the pack. It has a very low discharge rate and maintains 85% of its charge even after 12 months of sitting there doing nothing. Impressive, isn’t it?

You don’t have to fully drain the batteries before charging them back up, which is handy, and you can get up to four times more photos from a digital camera with the Eneloop batteries than with normal batteries.

So if you’re heading to Electric Picnic next weekend, make sure to save yourself the hassle of not being able to find someone with two AA batteries for sale and instead buy yourself this rechargeable battery kit which will last you donkey’s years – literally (the batteries can last up to 19 years, apparently).

If this sounds like the festival lifesaver you’re after then head over to the Electric Ireland online store where it can be yours for only €61.99.

For more great deals head over to Electric Ireland’s online store where you can find loads of great energy saving devices.
