These are fantastic!
My oldest ones are four years old and I've only damaged one of them by leaving it too long (at least several months) in a device in a discharged state. It's damaged as I've been unable to charge it in the typical AA / AAA type chargers.
I first found these in Circuit City and Best Buy but I couldn't find them anymore two years ago until I came across them at Costco sold in a blue case for $25 (the best price I've seen for this bundle).
The bundle contains: 4x AAA, 8x AA, the open face charger version*, and C and D shells. The shells allow you to use the AAAs (never tried it myself) in devices requiring C or D cells.
*The open face charger version is not as nice as the version that includes a sliding cover. The open face version requires two or four cells to be charged at a time where the covered version can charge the cells individually as well as any combination. There were some bundles sold with the covered version but I got my covered versions back when I would purchase these in a blister pack 4 cells plus the charger.
I typically use these in my media remotes and wireless console controllers (Wii) but last night I put them in my kids Slash transmitters.

anyone know what's the max charge rate for these batts?

I am not sure about the max charge rate, but you can use any charger that is designed for rechargables.
I use a cell pro multi 4 for my lipos, It automatically senses what kind and size of battery I plug in and charges at the factory settings. I'll check what its charging at when I plug in the eneloop's.
As far as being 2000's, My radio (M8) since putting in the eneloops has lasted 5 months, I have used in the last half of the indoor season and 2 big races (2 day events) and it runs 3 cars. Im close to 180 minutes on the run timer- It is not even close to time to charge yet. I wait until it goes to 1 bar left on the fuel gauge. I bet I get 8 months on 1 charge... 999 to go.
I like the fact that you can charge these up and a year later (I don't know why anyone would wait a year to race.) but they will still hold 85% of the charge while any other re-chargable will be dead.

If you're using AAs a lot, using them fairly often, the capacity drop is a bigger issue than the self discharge, its a 25+% drop in capacity compared to a 2700mah. Using them infrequently, the self discharge issue is the bigger deal.
I use mine every day, so ordinary AAs are not getting much chance to self discharge. I want to try some, but will wait and see where they go with capacity - I need to use up the ones I've got.

I use them on my Futaba 2PL and they're great... seem to last forever
