WILL THIS CHARGER CHARGE ENELOOP BATTERIES?

Yes, they are still NiMH cells, and I charge my Eleloops all the time with this charger. BTW, this charger will work with an optional cigarette lighter power cable, too.
330414
The instruction manual doesn't list an ENELOOP battery in the instructions, and I have no idea what they are. Best to call Tenergy at (510) 687-0388 and ask them.
330415
yes. i have both eneloop and la crosse tech rechargable batteries and it works for both.
330416
I would presume yes as its a Ni-MH rechargeable battery. I have not run into a battery it wont charge.
330417
Absolutely. I regularly charge Eneloop and Energizer NiMh batteries with this charger. The key is the chemistry of the batteries. All nickel metal hydride batteries should work fine.

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

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.

No, this charger only charges nicad batteries. You will need to purchase Ryobi 18V "dual chemistry" chargers that will charge lithium ion AND nicad batteries.

Yes. I use Eneloop batts, and they work perfectly. The unit has a setting for battery type (NiHM, alkaline, or lithium) which calibrates the built-in battery level indicator.

I have been using this charger on Eneloop batteries for the past year. I have stopped using the Eneloops on critical items because they have a low charge protect circuit built in each battery. They shut down abruptly with little warning instead of getting gradually weaker as they discharge. I still use them for music players and game toys.The MH-C800S charger works as advertised and I really appreciate it giving a charge status on each battery.

I bought this one Rayovac PS3PL Smart Charger AA/AAA/C/D/9V Platinum Universal Battery Charger http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008LY67YA/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0or if you want to use spacers instead of buying C batteries you could buy the eneloop power pack. probably would have to charge the AA batteries a lot more if you use a high drain device. eneloop Super Power Pack, 1800 cycle, 12 AA, 4 AAA, 2 "C" and 2 "D" Spacers, 4 Position Charger, and Storage Case

As far as my experience goes, yes. I'm using a Lacrosse BC-700 charger and it works fine. I also have several mixed Energizer chargers and have had no issues.

It would depend on the charger and how discharged batteries are. I used Sanyo Eneloop charger that charges in pairs to charge 4 of these AA batteries. I plugged it in at ~10pm and by 8am (possibly earlier) the batteries were charged. Other chargers may be faster or slower.

If the Rayovac states that it is designed for NiMH batteries OK, but it would be best to use the Panasonic charger specific to the eneloop to obtain the most recharge cycles.

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.

Absolutely. This charger is the best they make in my opinion. It will also charge in a mode that inspects each individual cell in the battery and has recovered several batteries I thought worn out.

It only charges AA and AAA batteries. Eneloop makes "C" and "D" adapters that utilize the AA size batteries to be used in devices that require the C size and D size batteries. Hope this answers your question.

Hello Travis, yes you "can" charge your Eneloop on any nickle metal halide (NIMH) charger, including the Energizer one, but be aware that the Warranty on the Eneloop is only valid if charged with an Eneloop/Sanyo charger. For $20, you can buy the basic Sanyo/Eneloop charger that charges only in pairs, for less than $30 you can buy the Eneloop charger that charges 4 batteries individually( and also has two bays that will "quick charge " in 1 hour). Since the 3rd generation Eneloops can be charged 1800 times, I bought the best Eneloop charger and love it. Right now Costco has a $20 package with 12 batteries, the basic eneloop charger and a few spacers to boot. My answer comes to you after I reviewed the "Eneloop" frequently asked questions website. Hope this helps.

I believe so. Most battery chargers are universal...can charge Duracell on a rayovac charger, charge energizer on a Duracell charger, rayovac on a energizer charger. As long as you don't mix batteries it will be fine.

I haven't seen the information that you are talking about, but if you Google AA 18650 eneloop, what comes up is a Sanyo battery charger, that will charge AAA and AA batteries.Simon recommends that you use rechargeable batteries, and that particular brand is supposed to discharge slowly (an issue with rechargeable batteries is that they discharge even when not being used). So I would assume that they are recommending a particular brand of rechargeable battery, rather than saying you can use an AA battery.

It says in the back to charge only Panasonic 1-4 AAA/AA Ni-MH type rechargeable batteries. Of course they would say that in order to sell their batteries. I don't see why you cannot charge other Ni-MH batteries. Note that I have only used it for Panasonic Eneloop myself.
