Can I use this charge for my niMH AA batteries?

I would only use this charger for the size of lithium ion rechargeable batteries that it was intended to be used with. Better to be safe than sorry. Could possibly damage batteries or charger.

No. This is for charging Lithium Ion batteries which are 3.75 Volts. your niMH batteries are 1.25 Volts.

I have never tried to do that as I have a seperate charger for all my other batteries. Since this charger came with the batteries thats what I only use them for. You could try but I really dont know if it will have any bad effect on your AA batteries.

you must never never switch battery chargers. use wrong charger and you could have a fire or explosion. always use the charger that came with the batteries or purchase a charger rated for your batteries.

I have charged AA and AAA in any combination. However, I usually charge them separately because of different charge rates and amp/hr settings. I usually try to balance the batteries for no perticular reason. For instance, I put two "AA" into the left bay and two in the right bay. I find that the charger will charge them to the same voltage. BTW, I always use my volt meter to make sure that the batteries measures above 1.2 volts. If they are less that 1.2 volts, the charger will not charge them. This is a characteristic any new chargers for NIMHs.

The Dewalt 9116 is for NiCad batteries and it works well for these. It has a "tune-up" mode to help fix old batteries. Just leave them on the charger for about 10 hours and it should at least help. This charger is not recommended for NiMh batteries however but I know they have been charged in them with good results. If the Dewalt doesn't recommend it maybe its for a good reason.

Yes, the battery needs to be charged before use. Select a charger that is rated to work with NiMh batteries and follow the manufacturer instructions.

I have used this to replace 2.0 and 2.2 Ah batteres(NiCad and NiMH); I also have NiCad and NiMH chargers, but I only use the NiMH unit to charge them.

Not expert on battery but NiMH and Li-ion are very different type of battery. The Guide 10 Plus charger can only charge NiMH. You need to attach a different charger to use with the Solar charger for Li-ion. I would recommend you against getting this product simply because it's not useful at all.

Yes, it will charge NiMH and 18650 Li batteries. It is a very versatile and robust charger. Best purchase I've made

We bought 2 pairs of NiMH rechargeable AA batteries, along with a charger. You can play almost 2 rounds on a charge. NiMH last longer than NiCad.

I don't really see why not. I have charged other batteries without problems. But I'm not sure if it doesn't effect or I'm just lucky.

The charger in the package you mentioned has the same model number (BCG-34HLD) as the one in this product page. So the only difference is in the four AA batteries included. Personally, I don't trust any NiMH AA cells with capacity 2500mAh or over. They all suffer from rapid-self-discharge problem after a few cycles. That's why I recommend using only low-self-discharge (Pre-Charged) type, such as those 2000mAh cells included in this package.

If it works you can ( Though manufacturer does not recommend it ). The charger does not work most of the time. It keeps showing every battery "BAD". However, there are much cheaper chargers available on AMAZON to charge NI-CAD and NI-MIH batteries.

NO. The NiMH & NiCD batteries charge differently then the Li-Ion batteries.

Any charger as far as I know that says it charges NiMH Batteries. I have used about 4 different charges for them and other rechargeable batteries and if the specified NiMH all was good! Anybody that does not use rechargeable batteries now a days is crazy! One thing to look at is the mah rating for the battery, for triple A batteries I use 1000mah or above and double A batteries about 2600mah or higher.

I believe the other two don't know what they are talking about. NiMH batteries hold a charge at about 1.5v when topped off. It should work fine. If this thing doesn't work with NiMH batteries, it would be the first thing I've EVER seen which does not work with NiMH.

The primary problem is that NiMH batteries do not like to be force-fed/overcharged, and that is exactly what NiCd "low-end" chargers do: they are basically constant-current "trickle" chargers (low current, takes many hours to charge, then keep feeding this same charging current even after the NiCd is fully charged). NiCd batteries just shrug off this excess charging current, but it will eventually "cook" your NiMHs. That said, NiMH will pack much more punch into given size...so if you don't leave it on constant charge (drain it, charge it overnight, then unplug it once "properly" charged) it should work quite well. Of course if you ditch the crappy little wallwart "charger" and hook it up to a proper NiMH charger, it'll work Great!

RZC, the responsibility is yours to evaluate the specifications and capabilities of the "duracell charger". Can it charge AA NiMH batteries?

Yes, it will charge any AA or AAA sized NiMH or NiCad rechargeable battery.
