Does anyone know what batteries fit into the 2 slots that look like AA size next to the meter? I put 2 eneloop AA batteries in there but they fall about 3-4mm short where the connectors cannot touch both ends of the battery at once. Anyone know which battery fits? or did I get a dud charger?

If it is the one that I bought, to the left, there is a metal wire, put the battery's in like you would a flashlight, end to end! Hope this helps. Happy New Year.

Just to be sure, I went to the drawer and took the flashlight out. I removed one of the Duracell batteries I had in it. Much to my surprise, no where on the battery did I find the size printed. But I know it has to be a "D" cell. It takes 2 "D" cells. I see the confusion with 2C in the name.

I use this meter everyday, nothing new that a meter like this will drain the AA and AAA. Never seen it as a problem, get the cheap Fluke, it will keep the batterys for 2yrs even.

Cecelia: PLEASE SEE MESSAGE BELOW FIRST!PS: According to the page at the URL I left in the first post, (The product info page,) this battery FITS YOUR DRILL yes. I copied the "972's" to here: "DW972, DW972B, DW972K, DW972K-2, DW972KQ-2, DW972KS-2, DW972RLK2" If nothing is down in the hole in the charger the batteries fit into, then I suspect you DON'T have the original charger! Somehow? OR... possibly the contacts are bent? (small metal "posts" on the battery that make electrical contact) The drill has 4 "tabs" that are pretty "forgiving" if a contact on the battery is bent... the charger, not so much!Hope something here helps!Joe Cecelia: PLEASE SEE MESSAGE BELOW FIRST!PS: According to the page at the URL I left in the first post, (The product info page,) this battery FITS YOUR DRILL yes.

I'm just taking a guess here, because I don't have anything that measures in millimeters; I would say the 18350 indicates that the batteries are in fact 18x35mm. Just my guess though, I don't want to lead you on and they end up being the wrong size. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

The problem is that most likely the phone charger is a dumb straight, non terminating charger that is completely overcharging the eneloops. I really am annoyed at Panasonic for doing something in their phones such that a completed charged set of eneloops will show up as need to be charged. Stupid. I want to charge my eneloops in my own smart charger, not the dumb phone cradle chargers.

I've read where the agm batt can be charged by this charger when connected in parallel with another conventional battery. I also know that there are agm battery chargers available. I suggest that you look up the charging of the agm on youtube. Someone has probably already solved this type of problem. Cheers.

I have had issues using non-Eneloop NiMH cells in this charger. For example, I've tried Ray-o-Vac and La Crosse NiMH AA's and this charger blinks the green LED indicating an error (the same NiMH AA cells work perfectly in the La Crosse charger). I think this charger may require cells with higher internal impedance. Panasonic doesn't claim compatibility with any other brand NiMH batteries. (I know this question was asked a long time ago, but this info may benefit others asking the same question.)

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.

I had the same issue with the double not fitting in the charger that came with my replacement battery. I don't know if you could get an external charger for it, but it lasts about 3 days, and once I started using it, I didn't take it out often, you just have to plan ahead if you need to charge all three batteries. I don't know if that is an option for you though...

Are you referring to the AA or the AAA? I don't know too many AA batteries that only have 900mAh capacity. Even the first AA NiMH batteries i got were at 1600mAh. Double check that you are getting the correct size batteries.

Thanks for posting this question. I just purchased my 1st set of AAA batteries and planned to use them with this charger. I thought they wouldn't fit, started searching online for the solution, found this. I've yet to try it out, but will this evening. Thanks!

I purchased something like this when I bought these batteries (this is what shows up in my order history, although I think mine is an older version because it doesn't look exactly the same): Duracell value Charger with 4 AA StayCharged Batteries 1 Kit (CEF14)My son uses the batteries in his LeapPad and they last a reasonable amount of time. Having the 8 batteries is also handy because you always have some charging while you're using the other ones. The four charging are always ready to go well before the ones being used are dead.

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.

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). Just get 3 of these simple and cheap chargers! Plan ahead and have other charged batteries on hand...fans of "fast charging" will NEVER get the maximum capacity, performance or life span that slow charging batteries can give you.

A couple of things to know about these type of batteries. One never let them sit for long periods of allowing them to discharge below 10.5 volts. They will not recover. I have a battery tender in my boat which regulates these batteries at full charge at all times. Second your charger should have a AGM setting. You can find what you need on optima's web site. http://www.optimabatteries.com

call shorai and find out. the size is measured in metric. and you need to know where your negative and positive are on your battery so your cables hook up with out changes. and I suggest getting there charger. I hooked up the cable insulated it against rub through and I just leave the end hang and plug in the charger. I was going to leave the charger under the seat but it get to hot down there on the brute force. I choose the lfx21a6 because it was the same dimension and the wires lined up . now my cca is way over oem battery. happy-happy-happy
