I've heard certain generic brands are actually just repackaged Duracells

Might depend where you live, I live in Nothern Europe and the cheap generic brand batteries from a popular electronics store chain, rechargeable, are quite shit when I compare them to my 5+ year old Eneloops. Haven't tried IKEA ones though.

The Ikea Lada rechargables are rebranded Eneloops. Panasonic is the only manufacturer making rechargable batteries in Japan.

Iโ€™m pretty sure ikea just spent a bunch on R&D and tooling to set up their own battery manufacturing plant in Japan.

Does Sony not make CycleEnergy, or Sanyo make their version too anymore?

I've got eneloops that are 10 years old and still kicking. I tried Amazon's as well and those are shit. 100% are dead and I got them over the years after I got the eneloops as I needed more.
