I've never used Eneloop in a flash but have used them in our boat's GPS, portable mice and other devices. They really do hold their charge as advertised. I also got ours at Costco, which makes them a good buy.

I can't be sure, but probably so. Companies often packages items in a configuration for Costco. You should also check Costco's web site. You may be able to order it online even if you're not a member.

Also, you can get Eneloop batteries elsewhere. The charger that comes with the Costco package isn't anything special, so if you already have a charger you may be buying something you don't really need.

No Costco near me, but I buy them on Amazon.com all the time. Greatest batteries ever!
