Think Gaia man! Sanyo is nicely taking care of our planet. If you don’t know what Gaia is, you’d better watch Final Fantasy (The Spirit Within), or look it up on Wikipedia…

Anyway, Sanyo developed several eco-friendly products, such as the Eneloop rechargeable battery technology. On the practical side, the Eneloop batteries are excellent, and we use them in our VHF mikes and in the flashes of our DSLRs.
There is now a small rechargeable heater with a very nice bio looking design, using the Eneloop technology. More information on the Eneloop batteries.

Thank you Sanyo for such a great job! The only critic we could make is about their choice of representative (CEO) to introduce new products… this former Japanese anchor is rather soporific and much less sexy than a model for the product photos. Sanyo is not going to show a young and dynamic image… too bad considering the Eneloop products are REALLY GOOD!
