[Elecraft] Eneloop or Eneloop Pro Batteries for my KX3?

[Walter Underwood]

The Amazon specs look good (2400 mAh, 65% after three years), but don’t match any Eneloop model in the chart on the Wikipedia page. They are closest to the 1st generation Eneloop Pro, but that does not have a three-year spec.
