In October 2011 the batteries were again improved to retain up to 90% of their capacity after one year, 80% after three years and 70% after five years. The batteries can be recharged up to 1,800 times, rather than the 1,500 times of the previous revision. The part numbers for third generation cells are HR-3UTGB (AA) and HR-4UTGB (AAA). At the same time, the C- and D-sized Eneloop batteries' stated minimum capacities were increased to 3,000 mAh and 5,700 mAh respectively. They were available in Japan from November 2011.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://panasonic.net/sanyo/news/2011/10/06-1.pdf |title=Sanyo New Eneloop Batteries Remains Capacity Longer – {{Sic|hide=y|Fully|-}}recharged new eneloop keeps approx. 70% power after 5 years of storage |publisher=[[Sanyo]]

The '''Eneloop Lite''' line was released in Japan in June 2010. They addressed two disadvantages of alkaline and other NiMH batteries: the initial cost and the long charging time—both achieved by reducing the capacity of the battery. The batteries find suitable applications in low-drain devices such as remote control devices and alarms, where low capacity is not an issue. The AAs have 1,000 mAh of capacity, while the AAAs have 600 mAh. Due to reduction of the capacity compared to the regular Eneloop cells, the charging time is halved for the AA and reduced by 25% for the AAA. On the other hand, they can be recharged 3,000 times. The reduction in capacity also reduced the production cost, which decreased the initial investment for rechargeable batteries. They also weigh 30% less. The product numbers are HR-3UQ (AA) and HR-4UQ (AAA).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://panasonic.net/sanyo/news/2010/03/08-1.pdf |title=Sanyo Adds "Eneloop Lite" to "Eneloop" Rechargeable Battery Family |publisher=Sanyo Electric Co.

The '''Eneloop Pro''' (or '''XX powered by Eneloop Technology''' in the US, Canada, and Europe) series was introduced in 2011. At that time, no AAA version was produced.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://eneloop101.com/batteries/complete-lineup/ | title=Overview: All Eneloop batteries 2005–2018| date=22 March 2017}}</ref> They have a higher capacity than regular Eneloop cells, 2,500 mAh (min. 2,400 mAh) for AA. They retain 75% of their initial charge after one year, and can be recharged 500 times, significantly less than the standard non-Pro Eneloop line. The product numbers are HR-3UWX (AA) and HR-3UWXA (AA).<ref name="eneloop pro and plus">{{cite web |url=http://panasonic.net/sanyo/news/2011/06/09-1.pdf |title=Sanyo's Eneloop Series Expands with New-Type Batteries |publisher=[[Sanyo]]

In January 2013, Sanyo announced the second generation of Eneloop XX (model HR-3UWXB, or Panasonic BK-3HCC), branded Eneloop Pro. The new generation has a 50 mAh higher capacity (2,550 mAh nominal, 2,450 mAh minimum capacity), and the self-discharge rate was improved, retaining 85% up to one year.<ref name="eneloop xx second generation">[https://web.archive.org/web/20130808002845/http://www.eneloop.info/contact/news-press-area/news-detailansicht/article/new-eneloop-xx-with-higher-capacity-and-improved-low-self-discharge.html?tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=4&cHash=100ceec521dc82df352e1318b9fe971c New Eneloop XX with Higher Capacity and Improved Low Self-Discharge].</ref> They also introduced an AAA version of the Eneloop XX (model HR-4UWXB) with a nominal capacity of 950 mAh (900 mAh minimum).<ref name="HR-4UWXB">{{cite web|url=http://www.eneloop.info/fileadmin/web_data/Data-Sheets/HR-4UWXB_data_sheet.pdf |title=Sanyo's Eneloop Lite Datasheet |publisher=Sanyo Electric Co.
