Robert, as far as I know Eneloop is a product of Panasonic, they produce Ni-Mh batteries and the chemistry is very different from the Li-Ion cells used in the EN-EL15 thus their construction is equally different. Thus it is very unlikely that the same method will increase the capacity of both battery types.
Actually while they claim to be NiMh batteries their characteristics i.e. weight and performance are closer to Li-Ion.  Most useful is their non-use discharge characteristics which are also more Li-Ion like as well, but they do take a longer time to charge which may or may not be a bad thing.  I use an intelligent charger with them and typically they charge in 8-10hours compared to overnight with a standard charger.

The reason I moved to using these Eneloop batteries was that I could charge them and then use them a month or two later with little charge loss.  This is definitely not the case with standard Ni-Mh batteries.
