We all know Panasonic, what Europeans was not aware so far this is that Panasonic this having and a second production line, this making rechargeable NiMH by recycled material.
This history started at 2016, these products by the labeling as Panasonic rechargeable and later on as Panasonic EVOLTA they started be available at specific geographic locations.
Since 2/10/2025 ( 26 days ago), Panasonic EVOLTA AA and AAA, they have entered officially within the European Union.
Germany this received first stock, and relative Product Declaration of Conformity to REACH and RoHS, this document were created.
Panasonic EVOLTA AA and AAA relative information it can be found at Panasonic product catalogue 2024-2025 EN_0.pdf
I did not succeed to discover so far relative datasheet for AA and AAA.
Panasonic this mention the number of four grades, under the naming of RECHARGEABLES (SECONDARY).
The new fact is that the Japanese they are looking forward to grow their footprint within the European market.
FDK Fujitsu this gained the opportunity due IKEA chain of stores.
Panasonic gained significant market share due the Eneloop series, and now they come with the offering of four more grades of lesser priced products.
I do predict within 2026, the market of low cost NIMH, this to be taken away from the Chinese industry, and small local EU distributors of such products they will start to feel first this conflict of interests.
Panasonic this came so to stay.
And it is well prepared to fight the competition by the use of several Katana sword :)
