Sounds like they have reached the end of their life (3-5 years). I would replace them and Mark the new ones by group. Or, if yo use 4 at a time, mark 4 with number 1,or a, etc. And Mark the next 4 with number 2, etc. And keep them together.
in Waukesha, WI Phone (262) 522-6503. I have one since 2013 to keep track of condition of about 75 AA NIMH batts and about 40 D cells. It works with your computer via a USB connection. Has features such as programmable discharge rates, stop discharge at a a programmable voltage setpoint and is compatible with all the different chemistries. Sores history information on your computer and you can print a voltage versus time during the discharge period.
Widely used by Drone, Amateur Radio Folks and other applications. The one I have is a model CBA IV Computerized Battery Analyzer. About $ 200 dollars.
And yes Eneloops have a much lower self discharge than conventional NIMH cells.
