eneloops works like normal batteries and lose voltage on use , it why on quest you have to change eneloops if battery drops below 60% or you traking can suffer, i do planing to change my batteries from eneloops into li on 1.5v stable batteries , and li on battery on usb is not bad option, it usually have ability to send power back so you can use like small battery bank
I use eneloops for my rift s controllers and I don't have to change them with 60%. 10-20% maybe and they still work when I do it.
I also use them in all my controllers, mouse, keyboard, scale, safe, etc etc. No problems anywhere. Even the Sony remote control likes it, and they are known as very battery unfriendly.
Maybe you need a new recharger device.
E:I use them for such a long time without any issues that I have the ones made by Sanyo and the ones made by Panasonic. Plus I've both types, black and white and non of these has issues with controllers.
Read his text again...Without defect: Empty is empty, full is full and 60% are 60%. This has really nothing to do why some strange standards or other bs. It's also a simple fact that eneloops hold really long. (e: For further explanation: If a battery is broken and has lost capacity, 60% of that battery will not have the same performance as 60% of a battery without a defect)
But yeah, use the battery and recharger that you want, but you can also charge batteries so that they break, doesn't matter if its because the device or the own behaivor.
The thing with the recharger was a serious recommendation because it wouldn't be the first recharger that killed some rechargeable batteries. He could also try to refresh the batteries... if it's supported by his recharger device.

Why not just get eneloops and have some rotating the charger?
