energizer charger to charge the eneloop batteries? I've always bought energizer rechargeables, but would like to try eneloop. Can I use my energizer charger on the eneloop batteries?

Any charger that will discharge, charge, and read the actual voltage in the battery is the best, rather than just a quick charge from whatever state they are in. Slower is better (less heat). Higher quality chargers will read each battery independantly, and let you charge a single battery. Some cheap chargers must be used in pairs.

i use 15 minute energizer charger and batteries still holding strong 1 year later, I think trick is to use same charger from beginning... these are the best batteries I've ever had. They put other NIMH to shame..

eneloop cells can be recharged using any good-quality 'smart' NiMH chargers.

The smart ones are the ones that (ideally) can charge a single battery, or multiple batteries individually. It should also detect when a single cell is full and stop. If you stick a new nearly empty AA and a half-way charged AAA NimH battery, they should not stop charging at the same time.

This unit alone will not charge batteries, but you can find usb aa/aaa chargers all over that you can plug into the usb port of this unit to charge. I recommend the eneloop series batteries. They are great.

Stuart i don't know ebl - but i am using the eneloop for a while - that battery manufacturers are writing as capacity and what the battery is actual giving out are 2 tings - esp after you used them 20+ times the eneloop is made for dependency and for long live - they will hold most of their charge even after one year storage - the price is a little lest mah other batteries can give you more mah but loosing most of it in the first month of storage - so depending where you are using it you should choose. I prefer eneloop because I know i have something solid for the next years - they hardly dies in the charger last pretty long and holding their charge. This doesn't say that other ones are not equal.

It charges AAA Eneloop and AA Energizer cells successfully. I don't know about any other brands.

From what I have seen on the internet this unit will blink if it detects a problem with the battery inserted. I presume you are not charging an eneloop battery. It apparently does not like batteries that have been discharged stone cold dead, which in that case you may try charging that battery in one of your older chargers that are not smart for awhile and then this charger may accept the battery. I also saw on the i-net that it did not like some particular brands of batteries.

No. The charger directions specifically say it's for use with rechargeable batteries only. You should not try to charge "regular" batteries in the charger meant for rechargeable batteries.

AA Rechargeable Energizer, popped right in, and is charging now. The old Eneloop lasted though, for over 5 years. I just replaced it today. I can't remember when I even bought it, or where for that matter.

Maha has a good charger/battery analyzer. It's designed to work with Eneloops. La Crosse also has some excellent ones or if you want simplicity go with the Eneloop charger supplied by Panasonic it comes with 4 batteries too.

I have been using this charger on Eneloop batteries for the past year. I have stopped using the Eneloops on critical items because they have a low charge protect circuit built in each battery. They shut down abruptly with little warning instead of getting gradually weaker as they discharge. I still use them for music players and game toys.The MH-C800S charger works as advertised and I really appreciate it giving a charge status on each battery.

You should match the charger to the battery type. The Tenergy batteries are Ni-Cd (Nickel-Cadmium), so your charger has to be able to handle Ni-Cd batteries. I suspect your Energizer charger may be for conventional rechargeables and probably won't work. Another kind of battery is Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride). Both Ni-MH and Ni-Cd will outperform conventional rechargeables, so are worth the upfront cost unless you are using low-drain applications (e.g., TV remotes).

It only charges AA and AAA batteries. Eneloop makes "C" and "D" adapters that utilize the AA size batteries to be used in devices that require the C size and D size batteries. Hope this answers your question.

Recommendations for eneloops and any rechargeable batteries. 1. Buy a good charger. 2. Don't quick charge, the extra heat will shorten the batteries life. 3. Replace them when they are low, don't leave them draining with the power on in devices. You will have two or three that won't charge without a paper clip jump (earlier post) . 4. Don't mix dead and charged batteries, the drained will be charged by the full ones the worst way to charge a battery.5. Dont mix newer generations of eneloops and older generations-it goes back to newer eneloops charging the older batteries. 6. Buy a good charger that monitors each battery throughout the charge!

How does the 15 minute energizer rapid charger and energizer brand batteries compare to this charger? I am looking to order several for my company and need them to last as well as be time efficient. . .

I don't think so. read the specs for eneloop and see if you can use that charger with these batteries. The batteries are ni-mh. does the charge say that also?

rechargeable batteries are expensive. However, my charger does work for the rechargeable batteries. But I have noticed that they don't last near as long as regular batteries and I'm constantly having to recharge them. If you don't mind that, it beats buying batteries all the time and throwing them out when they're finished.

It says in the back to charge only Panasonic 1-4 AAA/AA Ni-MH type rechargeable batteries. Of course they would say that in order to sell their batteries. I don't see why you cannot charge other Ni-MH batteries. Note that I have only used it for Panasonic Eneloop myself.
