What charger do you use for these higher-cap batteries? I was gonna get the Energizer Recharge Charger, but it only charges up to 2500mAH for C-cells.

I would use: Tenergy Advanced Universal Charger TN190 (4 Channel AA/AAA/C/D/9V Ni-MH Charger with LCD Display and USB Power Outlet)

I am using energizer recharger but cannot fully recharge the batteries. I guess Tenergy charger would suit its original brand.

I sent them all back because: (1) The batteries are not the standard 5V C batteries. (2) The charger I purchased with the batteries, got really hot while charging as did the batteries. The batteries never charged up. This would be a big mistake to purchase.

I use the Maha MH-C808M charger. Someone on the Amazon product reviews recommended it and it has done very well. I bought it on Amazon.

i have an older model of Tenergy T9688 Universal NiMH/NiCd LCD Battery Charger. It works great!

18650 (A or B) aren't charged in the device. They are high power batteries that should be charged in a stand-alone charger that "conditions and maintains" the battery to prevent premature failure and ensure a proper load. If not charged correctly, these batteries can fail DRAMATICALLY. I use the Xtar VP1 chargers because they bring the battery down to an optimum level before charging them all the way up to the full 4.2 volts. The charger also maintains a steady charge rate and has a digital display of the voltage. Great little charger that protects these very expensive batteries. There are, of course, several other brands/models that also charge and maintain 18650 batteries. The Xtar is just my favorite. I have two Sky Ray Kings and tons of other CR123 and 18650 battery operated lights. Sort of a hobby/addiction/money hole! :)

use the correctly rated charger and your good for hundreds of times----check the information on google for "sealed liquid cell batteries"---good luck

I use the 1 to 5 for charging hi-capacity batteries with no problems. It takes longer than charging just one, but that is to be expected. I'm not aware of any alternatives.

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..

I have this. Works flawlessly. http://www.amazon.com/EBL%C2%AE-Version-Charger-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00EB7812C/

I actually use an Energizer charger for my Eneloops. And, yes, it is a smart charger in that it stops charging when the battery is "full".And, as far as shelf life. My kids use them for their gaming controllers and swap the batt's in charger when it's time. I use them in my digital camera and don't have to worry about the battery being dead after sitting for month. I keep a new set in the bag just in case they do die on me. I also use them in my remote controls.I would not recommend their use in smoke detectors, clock radios, or anything that will put a continual and uninterrupted drain on them. Those are what alkaline batteries are for. I actually use an Energizer charger for my Eneloops.

Any universal charger works, especially since these don't need to be refreshed as they have no "memory." You might as well go with a cheap one or one you already have. I use two different ones, a RadioShack universal & an Energizer NiMH. Good luck.

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. . .

Any charger that is capable of charging NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries that are size AAA will charge these batteries. You didn't specify what kind of batteries your Duracell charger is meant to charge, so I can't answer your question specifically, but I suspect that the odds are favorable that your charger will work just fine on these batteries.

I have a La-Crosse BC-1000 which I have used to it's fullest potential. It's a very intelligent and powerful charger allowing you to charge at different amperages (higher for quicker re-charge and lower for a better recharge) as well as being able to completely de-charge to eliminate battery memory issues that don't allow a full charge. You can charge AA's and AAA's at the same time and each of the 4 positions is independent of the other. In other words, when one cell is charged, it will discontinue charging the fully charged one and continue charging with the rest and so on. There a little spendy, but to get the most out of your batteries for years of use, it's a great charger. I have a La-Crosse BC-1000 which I have used to it's fullest potential.

That energizer charger will charge your batteries at too high a rate and reduce both the life and number of cycles of your batteries. The Panasonic charger that is often sold with these batteries will charge your eneloops at the correct rate recommended by both Sanyo and Panasonic engineers to optimize the life of your batteries, (300mA for AA and 150mA for AAA).

I don't know, but I use the Maha charger to recharge these batteries. You could contact Radio Shack and ask them regarding their charger.

Mr. BuddyOlPal I did a little research on your question, first the term "dry cell" is a little misleading for this battery, it is actually a AGM design Battery, which means it is a glass mat and not a true "dry cell"...that term, belongs to batteries like AA AAA C D Batteries. According to the battery manufacturer... Any conventional battery charger or alternator up to 15.2 volts and 25 amps will be sufficient....However I would not use a charger that high for that type of battery, I would use a lower amperage, say something from 2 -6 amps would be better.....The smart charger does not supply that kind of current, it is only for a charged battery and to maintain it while it is not being used....I installed a AGM battery as a second battery in my 4 wheeler and this battery maintainer worked really well for that purpose, so if your battery is ok and charged, then it should work just fine...

I have a special charger for my R/C truck (duratrax onyx) that can be programmed for all types and sizes of batteries, so I don't have any problem with batteries overcharging. I purchased 5 additional LiPo battery packs for the quadcopter real cheap and they work great. The enemy of batteries is the charger - it's worth while to go with a programmable charger for any rechargeable batteries you own. I bought a cheap 5-way splitter to charge multiple batteries for my quadcopter at the same time and it works just fine. But, you need to have a good charger that doesn't overcharge. Otherwise, your batteries will puff up and their life will be shortened. Another advantage of a programmable charger is that the charge time is much shorter. I can charge one battery in as little as 35 min, or around 60 min at a lower mah rating (which will help the battery last longer). Look for a charger on Amazon - you can find them for around $35. I just cut the end off my 5-way splitter and put a plug on it that's compatible with my charger. Just keep the polarity correct and you're good to go. BTW - if you charge multiple batteries, I would make sure each is equally used, ie dead, then boost the mah rating according to how many batteries you're charging at once. I would charge one battery pack at 0.5 mah, but use 1.0 mah for 2 packs. Make sure the voltage is set correctly, as well as the type of battery (ie LiPo, Nimh, etc).

I bought a Ridgid AC840083 - X4 18v 3.0ah Hyper Lithium ion Full Capacity Battery,Sold by Innovative Emporium. I looked at the ad for the battery you bought from another seller. If I had bought based on the ad I would have expected the charger too. Though a battery and a charger for that price would be a steal. It seems to me that they owe you a charger. At any rate you got a good battery at a good price. Best of luck. Stan

Sorry for the first "short" answer. These batteries are so crappy that the best charger in the world won't do better to make up for their less than advertised capacity (in my experience) and poor performance in a small digital camera. If your going to spend more money get eneloops.
