The Retail of Eneloopy, Sanyo’s battery-checking mutt, Will be Available in Asia soon
With Sanyo's Eneloopy mascot mutt giving Panasonic's Evolta mascot robot a run for its money ,it's a dog-eat-bot race. But whereas the latter risked battery life and limb to show off Panasonic's AA cells' endurance in a harrowing climb up the Grand Canyon, the Eneloopy doggie prefers to play cute and "nosey" with your AA- and AAA-sized rechargeables.
Full charged? It'll blink green. For partially juiced-up cells, this battery-checking mutt will show an orange nose. It is undoubted that , if there's no light, your battery's playing dead .Battery flatlining? Press a switch on the chest, and Eneloopy's LED button nose will light up in red.
Sanyo's kept to the dog theme with a "Bone" that you insert into a side slot to help along the extraction. It's bitsy enough for butter-fingered digits to lose this faster than you can say "fetch!" And one whiff from your curious pet pooch means it'll never be retrieved. Fortunately, there's a backup Bone in the package.
Evolta isn't for sale, while the Snoopy-like Eneloopy is. If you favotare collecting kawaii, kitschy memorabilia, this doggie in the window comes with a premium sticker--S$25 inclusive two AA rechargeable Ni-MH batteries bundled in. Look for it in Singapore stores this end-December.
