Thinking about buying, have a couple of the old AA's wih the charger, can I use the old sanyo rechargeable battery charger?

I know this is a little older but YES, you can use the older Sanyo charger. While these Sanyo cells are gen 4 NiMH cells, NiMH chargers are not generation specific. (Obviously they (and other chargers) are chemistry-specific, as a NiMH charger only charges NiMH cells, NiCad only NiCad, Lithium only lithium of that specific voltage, etc., unless you have one of the advanced chargers, such as what is made by NiteCore IntelliCharger line, that is explicitly designed and labeled to be capable of charging batteries with different chemistries and different voltages.) I recommend consideration of a "smart" charger as they can extend the service life of the batteries by maintaining high capacity throughout its life. As these are Sanyo cells, the have the ability to keep a very long service life and a quality charger will maximize it...I have some of these eneloops in the 2nd generation version and with well over 700 load cycles they still have over 85% capacity!!!

These can indeed be charged with the old Sanyo charger, but I wouldn't recommend it because those old chargers needed to charge in pairs. The newer chargers have individual cell charging and will optimize the charge for each individual cell...rather than stopping when one of two in the pair has reached a peak.

We are sorry but Panasonic does not state that these can be used with the older Sanyo chargers.

The same charger will work nicely. It may take a longer time to fully charge because of the extra capacity of the battery. Even if you are only able to charge for a short time you will get the same or more air time compared to the smaller capacity batteries.

Purchase standard rechargeable batteries (AA or AAA type as needed) with a wall charger

I didn't see any specific references to a replacement charger. It's usually the battery that dies. However, I believe Radio Shack has some chargers including universal chargers with a variety of outputs and plug connectors. It shouldn't be difficult to match the output specifications on their replacement units to your non-working charger and it should work fine. I would check the output of your old charger first. As I said the batteries are usually the weak spot. Amazon stocks replacement batteries for the Gizmo.

Yes. I charged my replacement batteries with the original charger and charged my original batteries with the new charger. Both components work fine.

If you have the older charger, and buy a new battery it will not work....they have added an additional slot on the new battery, so you will need to buy a new charger. I hope this helps.

The Sanyo "low leakage" Eneloops will work in this charger, but a lower current unit (around 200 or 250 mA) will result in a longer total life (more charge/discharge cycles). This Sony does heat up the batteries which will reduce their ultimate life. I have (12) AA Eneloops that I use in Canon 580EX flash heads (very high high peak discharge current) and they seem to be holding up much better than other brands using the LaCrosse BC-900 charger set to 200mA. The Sanyo capacity when new was around 2100 mAH, but has not dropped off as other (higher initial capacity) batteries (LaCrosse and Eveready) have with heavy use.

I would guess that if the charger that you have, is made for any standard rechargeable battery size, it should work on AAA, AA, C, D, etc. But the last time I checked, these batteries are NOT 1000 mAh. The ones I received 6 or 8 months ago were 800 mAh, which displeased me immensely.

Linsey- this is the best battery Charger for the money - this charger used with 2800 mAh NIMH batteries should give you lots of service and save you a lot of money!Yes - you can charge AA and AAA together so buy both sizes and recharge after every use, this way you can have fresh fully charged batteries every time.

They use rechargeable AA batteries which you can buy anywhere. Not so for the proprietary charger. You could however buy the batteries and a AA charger separately and just change them when they need recharged.

Yes, I use rechargeable energizer batteries both AA and C size and this charger works well with them.

For anything using AA batteries, I recommend Sanyo Enerloop rechargeable batteries. They are many times better than any I have used previously. They not only have good duration, but also hold their charge unused for a longer time.

We're still using the battery that came with the brush, so I haven't tried. We had an older version of the brush and they worked in there. I believe most items use NI-MH or NiCad AAs as if they were just AAs. As far as I know, the only difference is in the charger or charger settings if you have a multi-charger. The ultimate benefit of rechargeables is that they are interchangeable and "green" as far as frequency of disposal.

I had an older model, and the new model does not fit in the old model's charger. You need a charger that will fit the newer model. In the past, the handle and charger sold together were less expensive than buying them separately.

Besides the change to the name (Panasonic bought Sanyo) and changed the name from XX to Pro as well as the packaging, the only real change is to the number of charge cycles the batteries are rated for (up to 500) and the milliamp (2550 versus 2500 - a bit longer run time between charges). Yes, you can still charge these batteries with your charger or any fast NiMH charger.TammieThomas Distributing

d size batteries.buy rechargeables.worth the investment.buy the sanyo d size battery adaptors.you can save $$$$ or d size rechargeable batteries.shop wisely.energizers aa rechargeables suck.do fir the sanyo aa batteries.best wishes.good luck.write if you have ????.

Absolutely. The AmazonBasic (white) pre-charged NiMH cells are identical to the Sanyo eneloop cells electrically, so the charger won't know the difference. In fact, you can use any good-quality 'smart' charger designed for NiMH cells to recharge any brands of NiMH cells. Battery manufacturers always tell you to use only their own brand of charger - for obvious reason. One inexpensive but Smart charger I often recommend is the Sony Cycle Energy BCG34HLD. It can recharge each cell individually, which is much better than the Sanyo MQN06 charger and AmazonBasics NiMH Charger
