How much voltage do Eneloops loose after a week? This is my situation in
more detail.....

I have an old Sony digital shortwave radio from the 1980s which works
slightly better on alkalines but I use Eneloops because it's cheaper.

Eneloops last about 9 or 10 days before the radio won't switch on.

I alternate between 2 sets of Eneloops. Each week I take the used Eneloops
out of the radio and put in a new set which were charged the week before.

How much voltage will the week-old Eneloops have lost? I am more concerned
about losing radio perfomance (which is why I am asking about voltage) than
total charge.

ICF-7600D consumes under 100mA at normal operating conditions @6V DC. The voltage of a fully charged Eneloop (NiMH battery)is only 1.2 Volts.
