Can I use any charger to charge Sanyo Eneloop? Would anyone be kind to tell me if there is any downside of using Canon charger with Eneloop?

Sanyo's position has not been consistent on this issue. Four years ago when eneloop was first introduced, Sanyo claims that eneloop does not require special chargers, because it can be recharged using any "good-quality NiMH chargers". But now Sanyo's new position is (as stated in this year's 'Sanyo eneloop handbook'): "It is strongly recommended to charge eneloop on SANYO Ni-MH battery chargers. SANYO chargers are designed to suits SANYO batteries and designed to bring out the best performance. We will not take any responsibility for batteries problem charged with other brands' charger. It is also recommended not to charge other brand' batteries with Sanyo charger." Based on my own experiece, the above is simply not trure. I have been using varies good-quality smart chargers (such as La Crosse BC-900, Duracell Mobile Charger CEF23D, Kodak K6200, Targus TG-LCD2700, etc) to recharge eneloop and other brands of LSD cells over the past 4 years - with zero problems. The problem is that not everyone understand what is a 'good-quality' charger. Some people may think a fast '15-minute' charger is good (hint: it is NOT), while others may think a slow 'over-night' charger is good (again, NOT). It is quite likely that a lot of eneloop cells were damages by the use of poor-quality chargers. That's why Sanyo has to protect itself against such situations. Of course, it is also possible that the new position is simply 'market speak', designed to sell more Sanyo eneloop chargers. But to answer your question: Yes, you can use the Canon CBK4-300 to recharge your eneloop cells.

I have used the Sanyo Pre-charged Eneloop; they are terrific, reasonably priced and last forever. I use them in everything now. This camera really does call for this type of battery.

I have 2 different after market chargers (this being one of them) and have used 4 different brands of after market batteries in them and in the Canon charger. I bought dual chargers because I use a battery grip. All of the chargers worked with all of the mixed brand batteries and when I have had an issue with charging a specific battery it has always been the battery and not the charger. Since this is for a 6D (new to the market) I'm assuming that you just purchased this battery and you're attempting to charge it for the first time. I believe your issue is a bad battery and not a quirky charger. Hope this helped. P.S Nice camera, Enjoy!

I bought three batteries for the T5i Canon and couldn't find the charger. So I bought another charge, actually two, one was $15 and the other was $30. One the box plugs into the wall and the other has a power cord from the box to the wall..and that looks like the one you have. Both will charge the batteries. I found the first charger so now I have three. NOTE...the charger that comes with the camera Rebel T5i is the LC-E8E shown in the picture. There is a STK SterlingTek LCH-LP-E8 for about $15 but it has a swing out plug for the wall. Yes, it works fine but you might have a problem plugging it in some sockets. So, to answer your question....YES the LC-E8E is for the Rebel T5i camera. I would stay with the charger in the picture. My question, you said t5?? did you mean T5i EOS REBEL. My camera came with two batteries but you might want to get two more batteries and keep one in your pocket. If you are planning to buy the LC-E8E charger, good, that's the one. Sorry I didn't see your message till now.

I have used many Sanyo eneloop AA cells in my old Canon S1, new Canon S5, Canon 420EX flash unit, etc. I believe low-self-discharge batteries are idealy suited for digital cameras, especially for intermittent shooting. There are people who claim that ordinary NiMH cells are better because those are rated 2700mAh instead of 2000mAh. But I never have the need to shoot 500 pictures in one day. Plus I keep one set of spare batteries in the camera bag anyway. Ordinary NiMH cells self-discharge so fast, you always have to recharge the batteries just before shooting. Plus there is no point in keeping a spare set because it would become exhausted by the time you need it.

I didn't use wasabi charger either. I use Canon original charger instead of having so many charges.

Yes. Been using since I got them. Charges on the canon charger also with no issues.

I have a 6D, that firmware, and STK batteries, and they work fine. Your Canon charger however, will not charge them properly. I got a free charger from STK that works with STK and Canon batteries. Just send them an email and they will get you one.

I have the LCE4N charger so cannot provide a good answer from experience but when I was researching the Canon website prior to buying there was a statement about non-compatibility. These are two different battery designs.

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.

Besides the change to the name (Panasonic bought Sanyo) and changed the name from XX to Pro as well as the packaging, the only real change is to the number of charge cycles the batteries are rated for (up to 500) and the milliamp (2550 versus 2500 - a bit longer run time between charges). Yes, you can still charge these batteries with your charger or any fast NiMH charger. Tammie Thomas Distributing

I would also like to know if I can use these with a sanyo eneloop charger. If I can that's $4 cheaper per 8 pack

As I know original Canon charger may not work with non original (non-Canon) LP-E6 batteries.But this dual charger works good both with Canon LP-E6 and other brands LP-E6. As for me I have Wasabi Power LP-E6-JWP batteries and this dual charger works with them perfectly. And also it works with my pair of original Canon LP-E6s.

You can use your original Canon charger that came with your camera to charge these batteries. That's what I used and it's still fine till this day.
