Can I use these batteries with my Sony charger ? Are these batteries compatible with only the Sanyo eneloop charger or can I use them with any charger for AA batteries ?

According to Sanyo eneloop web site: "Eneloop batteries are not limited to Eneloop chargers or any special proprietory charging technology and can be charged using other quality non-Eneloop Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery chargers." As long as you have a good quality "smart" charger (meaning that it charges each cell individually and stops whenever each cell is full), you can charge the eneloop cells with it. Personally, I would avoid those 15-minute Super-Fast chargers.

You can use any brand of NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) rechargeable batteries with the Sony Cycle Charger, however, I've found that the charger doesn't like high-capacity Duracells. There may be other specific brands/capacities the charger doesn't like.

The Sony charger is much better than the one included in the Sanyo eneloop 4-pack deal, because it charges faster and accepts universal AC input. So my recommendation is: Buy the Sony charger, then stock up on lots of eneloop or other low self-discharge batteries (the Kodak Pre-Charged is only $7.88 for 4-AA at WM).

Yes, I bought three and use them in the same charger supplied with my Canon Powershot SD1000. These are aftermarket batteries not directly from Canon. I've found that they are not quite as good as the original but they work in a pinch even though the quality control isn't that great.

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 use Eneloop rechargeable batteries in mine and swap out with a spare set every month or so to stay ahead of dead batts. It's nice that they run it on 2 AAs - I'm currently using a pair of 550s that use 4 AAA each.

The SONY BCG-34HE4 is a smart charger, meaning that it monitors battery status during charging, and stops whenever a cell is fully charged. Therefore you can use it to charge any AA/AAA NiMH cells. This is not the case if you have a timer-based dumb charger.I have used this SONY charger with Sanyo eneloop and many other low-self-discharge cells without any problems.

They need a Ni-MH charger. Be sure to use one that charges EACH battery independently or you'll likely burn a few out before their time. (Avoid using the Sanyo charger sold in the AA/AAA/Charger combination card as sold at Costco, etc.) Eneloop is the best Ni-MH battery out there, btw. Good luck.

Yes no problem. These are excellent batteries, actually they are rebranded Sanyo Enloop batteries.

For me these batteries were working exactly same way as a native Sony battery did: showing % of charge, etc. I never been trying to charge it in camera since I had always two extra batteries outside camera body, so it was easier to use a charger.

I thought these would work too but I also ordered Sanyo NEW 1500 eneloop 4 Pack AA Ni-MH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries just in case. I will have eight working Ni-MH batteries now. Thank you.

You can, will just reduce capacity over time a little bit.optimum would be to use until it cuts off (use 2nd pair AAA as backup) and then charge in "Delta V" charger.or put it in a good charger every 6-8 month and run 4-5 cycles of charge/discharge @ 200/100mAh and your good.or just buy new NiMH "sooner".I do recommend getting Sanyo Eneloop. work +24h since they are 800mAh (vs 600mAh stock)..

Eneloop's are your regular run-of-the-mill rechargeables, and the Nitecore should be compatible with any AA or AAA rechargeable you give it. I don't see any reason why not.

Those AmazonBasics white AA cells have exactly the same capacity as the Sanyo eneloop AA cells (Min. 1900mAh, Typ. 2000mAh), so you can safely mix and match them. Your appliances will not know the difference anyway.

The Sanyo eneloop cells can be recharged using any good-quality 'smart' chargers designed for NiMH cells. For the sake of battery lifespan, avoid timer-based overnight 'dumb' chargers, and '15-minute' ultra-fast battery roasters. As a general rule, any brand of NiMH cells can be recharged using other brands of NiMH chargers. But the manufacturer always tell you to use only the same brand - for obvious reasons.

These batteries can be charged with any charger that charges NiMh batteries. It should say that on the charger's package. When charged, you just use these batteries like any other batteries, based on the size. For example, the "D" cell batteries can be used on any appliance that takes "D" cell batteries.
