These are NOT, repeat NOT, rechargeable batteries! I made the mistake of ordering. If you look carefully at the description, "rechargeable" is now where mentioned. AMAZON should NOT have listed them with rechargeable batteries. Quite a mistake!!

Some Lithium Ion batteries are rechargeable. The ones in your cell phone for example are rechargeable. I went to the Energizer web site, and while they do have a rechargeable product with similar packaging (has 4x on the package) this one is not rechargeable (has 9x on the package). See http://www.energizer.com/batteries/performance-lithium/ultimate-lithium/Pages/aa.aspx

Yes, there are rechargeable lithium ion batteries in AA size, but I'm not sure about AAA. If you want a rechargeable AA battery look for 14500 lithium-ion. Take note that these non-rechargeable lithium batteries are 1.5 volts, and rechargeable are 4.2 volts. They are not interchangeable in most devices.

I used an external battery charger and I also recommend getting your own AAA batteries. The ones I got are 900mAh and last for a very long time.

Yes it does, I have used it in my car, along with the other accessories, its a great value. I have had this just about a year now, and its still kicking. I have charged AAA, AA, 18350, 18650, 26650 batteries and has not failed me yet. This is the best charger I have used to date, out of 5 other similar chargers I have (doesn't even touch this one), and at a great price, its worth a try, I bought 3, and might by more, need one in the garage.... ;)

Li-Ion 18650s won't fit in AA chargers. I bought this charger to charge generic 18350 & 18650 batteries and it works great.

Hi M. Crnkovich; Try and find a battery charger that you can plug into your car's cigarette lighter socket. I found one for my Olympus C8080 at "that big online auction site" if you know what I mean. I think it's a good idea to get 3 extra batteries and maybe a 2 gigabyte XD card if you can afford it. Here's a tip concerning the batteries: Store them close to your body to keep them warm. A warm battery will put out more juice and will last longer than a cold battery. I even keep my camera close to my side to keep it and the battery inside warm. That's if it's 30 degrees F or colder. These lithium ion batteries have what's called "rebound." After it's been drained, some of the charge comes back in a day or two, but not much. It's usually enough to take a quick shot before it totally dies, and then it will rebound again for one shot. Have fun in Alaska :) kkrome25

My problem was that it would just quit charging(indicator light would clear)prior to actually charging fully. It was advertised as a "Super Fast" charger, however while Li-Ion can take a very high charge rate, NiH can not and will overheat quickly, sometimes with dangerous results, and even if they don't pop they can/are damaged by high charging. IMHO the charger is s PoS which never worked for me

It has an adapter to use 3 standard AAA's. It does come with the rechargeable battery and the charger as well, but you can use standard batteries via the adapter. I've never tried it so I don't know if there's a performance difference or not.

I got an AC charger at a computer repair shop. They had a bunch of old chargers in a bin and they gave it to me for free! Be sure it delivers at least 1500ma output though, or you'll be charging your battery for a long time. Also, I found a cigarette lighter (12V plug) power cord, brand new at a thrift store for $4. Works great.

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.

I can't answer this, in my case once I use the charged battery, my charger/battery will not take a new charge, is this a normal problem and should I look for a charger?

Hi W.J. Two thoughts here. First, I'm not happy with the performance of the battery's life -- seem to work OK for low power items (i.e. wireless mouse), but fall way short of the mark for higher demand items (flashlight) -- I'd guess 10 to 15% of an Alkaline battery life. That said, and in all fairness, it appears there were a number of 'knock-offs' introduced into the selling stream. I'm not sure if mine were part of the counterfit lot. The customer service group at Eneloop aren't the easiest to work with either. I invested about $350 in batteries, cases, charger, sleeves. I wish I could get my money back and move on. Sorry to share my disappointing experience. I hope yours is better.

I bought the Tenergy TN270 Li-ion 18500/18650/14500 Fast Battery Charger on amazon for $12.99. It works great and the batteries have kept the charge since last October.

The CTEK offers pulse charging, which is the coming RAGE in battery charging. Worth the extra $8 IMO I have built home made pulse chargers, and they are so much better for ALL types of batteries, except Lithium types.

I don't know how you are using the charger. I've had mine since May. I only use it rarely when I am traveling and need the extra boost. If you been charging and discharging the battery daily, you might have created a memory effect in the battery. Lithium battery were not supposed to have the memory effect problem, but it has been found that is not completely true. I would contact Amazon/Jackery to see if they would replace the battery since it's been only a few weeks.

Thanks for those links. I just saw that WORX's has updated their website and now have the Worx GT 2-in-1 Lithium-Ion Battery listed:http://www.worxyardtools.com/garden-tools/lithium-trimmer.htmlLooks like it can come with two different chargers, a 30 minute charger ($149.99) and a 3.5 hour charger ($119.85).Still no reviews though.

The one I have uses batteries not sure if using rechargeable batteries the device would recharge them when in USB . Good ? I need to try that! But no if its the same version I have it doesn't have a built in lithium.
