energizer charger to charge the eneloop batteries? I've always bought energizer rechargeables, but would like to try eneloop. Can I use my energizer charger on the eneloop batteries?

Any charger that will discharge, charge, and read the actual voltage in the battery is the best, rather than just a quick charge from whatever state they are in. Slower is better (less heat). Higher quality chargers will read each battery independantly, and let you charge a single battery. Some cheap chargers must be used in pairs.

i use 15 minute energizer charger and batteries still holding strong 1 year later, I think trick is to use same charger from beginning... these are the best batteries I've ever had. They put other NIMH to shame..

eneloop cells can be recharged using any good-quality 'smart' NiMH chargers.

The smart ones are the ones that (ideally) can charge a single battery, or multiple batteries individually. It should also detect when a single cell is full and stop. If you stick a new nearly empty AA and a half-way charged AAA NimH battery, they should not stop charging at the same time.

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.

I use eneloop rechargeable batteries and recharge them in their own charger.

We are lucky if the rechargeable batteries last 3 hours...so very annoying. I started doing a little research and found that these rechargeable batteries are the best on the market : eneloop AA 1800 cycle, Ni-MH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries, 4 Pack (discontinued by manufacturer) Anyone have any experience with them?! They have really good reviews. I'm wondering if I do get them if I should get a better battery charger, if it really matters at all?!

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.

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 recharge Energizer nickel metal hydride batteries in my Powerex charger because I have a few. Sanyo Eneloop batteries are a better all around battery though.

Any charger that is capable of charging NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries that are size AAA will charge these batteries. You didn't specify what kind of batteries your Duracell charger is meant to charge, so I can't answer your question specifically, but I suspect that the odds are favorable that your charger will work just fine on these batteries.

I initially charged mine in a Eneloop battery charger, I didn't time how long per say, but it us a whileand they did charge.

I use my energizer chatger and another brand charger....u can use any charger for rechargeable Duracell. If you have a charger that charges type of rechargeable Duracell save or spend the difference on batts. Answer: yes you can use your Rayovac charger...

I use only Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries & charger system. They are great w/ long life per charge.

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.

I charge my Eleloop batteries with it but they are 2000mAh AA NiMH so a little different. I'm no expert on the subject, but I believe as long as you are charging NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) rechargeables you are okay. I would check with the manufacturer of both the charger and the batteries to be certain. Total charged at one time is 8 - all chambers loaded.

Hello, I can only say that I use a charger that is made only for mAh style batteries. I have not used the Energizer batteries but I think the Tenergy batteries are great, they seem to hold a charge for a long time and recharge very fast, been using these batteries for about a year now and love them.

I use the sanyo eneloop batteries in my son's Leapster--the original, not the Leapster 2. They last as long as regular batteries and the discharge rate is extremely slow when dormant. Regular rechargeables completely discharge within a matter of days when left unused. Plus, the eneloops last up to 1,000 charges, while the charging station is good for something like 300 charges? I purchased my rechargeables for around $15 with a charger included. My son and daughter are each getting a Leapster 2 for Christmas and I have already purchased more eneloops (@ $10 for 4). I don't see why rechargeables wouldn't work in the Leapster 2--I seem to remember reading several reviews where people reported opting for rechargeables vs. charging station. Hope this helps!
