Is this a good buy for Eneloop AAA and AA batteries? Some reviewers are saying the compartments are too tight for rechargeable batteries.

sorry, not familiar with those type batteries but I do have some rechargeable batteries and they fit fine as do regular batteries.

It's a little late for you I imagine, but hopefully it'll help someone else because I had the same question. The one I purchased did not look like the picture I see now. Mine holds 25 AAA, and I purchased it a month ago, but now it shows a picture which only holds 10 AAA, and has extra C and 9 volt storage. In the one I ordered, Eneloop batteries fit very well and have no issues. I had 1 or 2 holes that were a little tight with alkaline batteries, but nothing ridiculous, and no issues remove the batteries or having to not use certain holes like others have mentioned.

For Eneloop brand batteries, I remember they can fit in, may be a little bit tight for some of AA slots. but you still can use it.

great organizer for batteries. I mounted this unit on inside door to broom closet. Saved space and easy visibility and at finger tip to use.

The compartments are a little tight for AA rechargeable batteries- IF you seat rechargeable battery all the way to the bottom. The holes are tapered, and I get by just fine by inserting rechargeable AAs a tiny bit short of all the way in to the bottom of the slot. They don't fall out, so this works just fine. In general, there is a surprisingly large variation in diameter between among Alkaline and rechargeable batteries. I've experienced far worse fit problems between the two in some devices I have. One device in particular, rechargeables actually warp the battery holder. I liked this Range Kleen battery rack enough to buy a second one in order to keep rechargeable and Alkaline separate for a 'at a glance' stock status. I use Tenergy Centura LSD NI-MH rechargeables, and am quite satisfied using the work around I've given.

I do not see why they would not fit,I use tennergy and other rechargeable batteries but none of the type you mention, but still do not see how they would not fit,The holder is plastic and will expand some. Hope this helps

I used rechargeable Eneloop Pro batteries in this. At the end of the growing season the batteries were only depleted by 600 mAh each. So they still had about 3/4 capacity remaining.

the AAA batteries fit, at first I had this issue too but there is a certain method to inserting them and once you figure that out then it works fine.

Yes, assuming we're talking about regular household batteries: AAA, AA, C, D, etc. I bought it for that purpose and currently store all my batteries in it! It's perfect and locks really well with the locking mechanism. No worries about it spilling open.

Yes it works fine with eneloops although after awhile the fit of the batteries in the compartment got looser than regular alkaline.

If you look closely in the slots the aa batteries fit into you will see some short tabs that aaa batteries will engage. They will not be obvious in a picture unless it is a closeup. I thought the same thing and thought it was kind of cheap but it seems to be a clever way to charge both aaa and aa batteries in a compact design. I have been using mine primarily for charging aaa batteries for a headlight I use everyday at work and have had no problems.

Yes... I'm using both AA and AAA Sanyo Eneloop batteries and it does a fine job.

Double a and rechargeable batteries work well in it. You don't wanna go cheap on the batteries because they will drain faster.

I have had some batteries that I was able to recondition. Others didn't respond to recycling. I have had great success with eneloop batteries and plan on only purchasing them when I need more batteries. It's a great charger.

It already comes with Lithium ion battery, which is rechargeable. So like wise the battery slot is also designed for the Lithium ion battery, which is square in shape. I believe AA battery will not fit in this

I've had mine for about six months now. After the first few uses I felt like they held about 80% of what a genuine Nikon does. I've charged them roughly twenty times and they still act like new. I bought this vertical battery grip http://amzn.com/B005GY18UG at the same time and when both batteries are loaded I don't even worry about not having enough power. The grip also includes a tray for six AA batteries which are more functional than a camera battery. The Eneloop pack http://amzn.com/B0058N6JUE if a good fit for Nikon users who need a variety of batteries on the go and you'll have a second charger. Six Eneloops last roughly the same length if not longer than a Nikon battery.

yes it is, the 2 battery models are longer fits completely inside cargo pants leg pocket and doesn't fall out, best flashlights I have found, batteries recharge easily, I have had no probs at all

Hi W.J.Two thoughts here. First, I'm not happy with the performance of the battery's life -- seem to work OK for low power items (i.e. wireless mouse), but fall way short of the mark for higher demand items (flashlight) -- I'd guess 10 to 15% of an Alkaline battery life. That said, and in all fairness, it appears there were a number of 'knock-offs' introduced into the selling stream. I'm not sure if mine were part of the counterfit lot.The customer service group at Eneloop aren't the easiest to work with either. I invested about $350 in batteries, cases, charger, sleeves. I wish I could get my money back and move on.Sorry to share my disappointing experience. I hope yours is better. Hi W.J.Two thoughts here.

I use Eneloop rechargeables in my boy's Kidizoom and have since the first (non-rechargeable) batteries died soon after Christmas. I haven't had any problems.

I've left eneloop batteries in there for weeks and it doesn't seem to cause any problems. It's probably true for other batteries as well.

Hi,i used AAA batteries on this and they do work. And should work.Bought them because I prefer to use regular batteries than rechargeables.Either way there might be manufacturing defects,or consult a retailer to certify its working condition.RegardsDtws76

I have only charged AA batteries and it does great with those. I have not tried AAA batteries yet.
