If I replace the AA batteries inside with say, some Sanyo Eneloop ones, will the charging base still charge them?

if you use any chargeable batteries they should work. I use others other than the original

Jeff, I have used them without problem for months now. It may just be that you got a bum set. I have been running only Oly BLN-1s in my OM-Ds and E-M1 for the last two months, so decided to see how my Wasabi batteries were doing in my bag having not been on a charger in more than two months just for this response. I can say that BOTH my Wasabis were still fully charged (based on my E-M1's battery display) and are working fine. I'd suggest contacting them to see if they can help you out.Jamie.

Do these Eneloop rechargeables have to be charged in an Eneloop charger? Or, will another HiMH charger work? Thank you.

The battery pack can only be charged in the radio handset. However,, you can use rechargeable AA batteries in place of the battery pack. If you decide to use rechargeable batteries, I would suggest getting Sanyo Eneloop batteries. They hold a charge much longer and can be recharged more often than Energizer or Duracell rechargeables.

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.

if you have the correct charger the batteries do operate well never had a problem, and the charge last a good long time. when I got mine the old charger had been recalled by the manufacturer replaced mine under warranty.

I would say yes. This charger allows you to leave the batteries on the charger so they have a full charge when you put them in.

Yes. The only thing I have noticed is the life of the batteries is not as long as the original ones before they need a charge.

The charge base doesn't, however Nyko makes a battery pack that is compatible with this base that does and it works very well. The wonderful thing about the charge base is you don't have to fight with the micro USB plug to recharge your controller. You plug the dongle in and it's the last time you have to deal with that stupid plug.

Yes, I have charged the batteries with my canon charger and the canon battery with the Wasabi charger. it works both ways for me

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

Yes, particularly low self-discharge AA's like Sanyo Eneloops. For a compact emergency multi-day outage situation, consider adding a Powerfilm AA (4 AA version) folding solar panel to charge those batteries.

Yes, I use the eneloop charger that handles aaa and aa, works fine, nice and compact.

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.

I would also like to know if I can use these with a sanyo eneloop charger. If I can that's $4 cheaper per 8 pack

It's OK to leave them in. I have the Nitecore quad charger and I find that the blue power on light is too bright when I'm at my desk so I unplug the charger and leave the batteries in. I charge both Nitecore Lithium and Eneloop AA & AAA. Goodbye Alkaline. (I use Panasonic D & C adapters.)

I am able to charge the batteries with my Nikon MH-25 charger but the issue I have is they don't work in my battery grip. They do work inside the camera. Strange.
