So what is the conclusion? :-)I have a panasonic dect 6.0 phone and its batteries are no good. I am using eneloop and charging them on panasonic charger because if I charge my eneloop (from Costco pack) and put them in the phone, I get an error message - "Please charge phone for 7 hours". These eneloop work so much better than panasonic batteries.How does charging on panasonic charger that comes with the phone affect eneloop?

The problem is that most likely the phone charger is a dumb straight, non terminating charger that is completely overcharging the eneloops. I really am annoyed at Panasonic for doing something in their phones such that a completed charged set of eneloops will show up as need to be charged. Stupid. I want to charge my eneloops in my own smart charger, not the dumb phone cradle chargers.

Thank you for the info. A few days ago, I got the 'Eneloops' anyway. Maybe my stock Panasonic batteries had run their useful life course, because the Eneloops work very well and last much longer than the Panasonics. Plus the 7 hour audio and text recharge message does pop up when they run low (someone had suggested that the phone just 'dies', with no message). In any case, I can always use the Eneloops until I am not satisfied with their performance. They only cost me like ten bucks for 4.

Thanks for the lowdown. I didn't spend much money for the Eneloops, so as long as the work better than the Panasonic stock batteries, i'm happy for now. I will look into the batteries you mentioned though if I need to.

I've been using eneloop generation 1 batteries in my panasonic cordless phones for 6 months. No problems; never expected any anyhow.

My guess is that you should be able to charge eneloop AAA cells inside your Panasonic DECT 6.0 phone. The phone only knows that a new set of batteries has been inserted after a power interruption, So it will give you the standard "Please charge phone for 7 hours" message. But it cannot know what type of battery is placed in it. The factory-equipped AAA NiMH cells are probably lower capacity (~600mAh) type. That's why the eneloop AAA (~800mAh) works better. It is safe to use higher capacity batteries in a slow-charger designed for lower capacity batteries..

Here is an email I got from Hyperion about Charge/Discharge...: Paste Thanks for the inquiry! Our recommendation is that you perform 4-5 cycles of charge/discharge/recharge. Charge the battery before the first use and make sure that you charge up to 12 hours for the first few charges. Do NOT fully deplete to zero but go down to anywhere between 5 and 20%. This is known as the break-in period of the battery and optimizes the battery as well has helps some phones to get "used to" operating with a higher mAh battery. In your case, your phone is used to the battery size, but we find these cycles to be helpful to the battery, it being especially important to reach that 100% charge, and mindful not to go below 5-20% when discharging. Hope that helps! Be sure to let me know if you need further assistance. Have a good day, Christine Hyperion EA

Ps, I read a post after I wrote that any charger will work on Duracell's. My comment to that persons claim Duracell sucks, not true. I use AA/AAA BATTS AND I LOVE THEM. I use them on several (high demand) items they last super long. From video controllers to my house phone (1 full charge will last about a week, only put I on the cradle once a week)!

I use Eneloop rechargeables in my boy's Kidizoom and have since the first (non-rechargeable) batteries died soon after Christmas. I haven't had any problems.

Worked in Panasonic phone, but for some reason they required charging; even though they were listed as charged. After charge they work fine and don`t appear to self discharge much. After days off charge, handset still shows full charge.

Yes according to description from Amazon (so including KX-TGA101/430/630/930/935) Product Description pack of 4 panasonic aaa nimh batteries will work for almost all phones that use aaa rechargeable batteries these are 700mah but will work with other mah Replacement Battery for Panasonic Cordless Dect 6.0 and KX-TG43xx Series Telephones: KX-TG1032/33/34, KX-TG823x Series, KX-TG63xx Series, KX-TG93xx Series, KX-TG43xx Series, KX-TH1211/12, KX-TGA101/430/630/930/935

You can use any good-quality AAA NiMH cells in Panasonic cordless phones. As long as the replacement cells have capacity equal or larger than that of the original (550mAh), they will work just fine. I recommend using name-brand low-self-discharge NiMH cells, such as: Sanyo Eneloop AAA Rayovac Hybrid GP Recyko Pre-Charged, etc. Do not take chances with off-brand NiMH cells. Most of them have very poor quality control (capacities vary all over the place) and suffer from rapid self-discharge problem.

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!

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.

Mr. C------ I have an Energizer charger, a Panasonic charger and an eneloop charger charger and several different brands of rechargeable batteries and they all recharge just as you would expect in any of the charging devices. Hope this helps. Mr. SJ

Why YES, these RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES will be recharged fully when you insert them in Panasonic telephones for approximately 7 hours. Then your telephones will be back to great service as long as you keep an eye on the little bars in the upper right hand corner of your chordless phone which indicates battery power left.

I was thinking about purchasing Maha PowerEx MH-C801D Eight Cell 1-Hr Charger - Battery charger - 1-2 hr - 8xAA/AAA, but the La Crosse Technology BC-9009 AlphaPower Battery Charger sounds very attractive. I'd like to be able to charge eight cells at a time, but realistically, charging four would be just fine. I do need to be able to charge a single cell, however. I'm trying to convert all my cameras and bicycle lights to low-discharge AA and AAA cells (Eneloops), so I'm willing to invest in a decent charger.Suggestions?

My Panasonic phones shipped with 550 mAh AAA batteries. The higher amp batteries work find in my phone.

Have never tried the Panasonic product. You should be able to use any rechargeable battery in your phone if it fits and has correct voltage. I think the labeling Panasonic is using is designed to make you think their battery is in some way superior to other for use in their phone. Most likely marketing hype.This review of Panasonic may be of benefit: http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Rechargeable-Battery-Cordless-Phones/product-reviews/B007ZHXFJY/ref=sr_1_2_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints;=1 Have never tried the Panasonic product.

I would probably get the latest Panasonic charger. I don't think those Sanyo chargers use all of the modern features of a smart charger, you might have overcharged your cells and Eneloops don't like being overcharged, or well any LSD NiMH cell. You'll need to get your model number of that charger so people can help determine whether it's your charger. Also if you got an infrared thermometer (the one that you can point and click with the laser) so you can see how hot those cells get. Usually they don't go above 110F in the La Crosse charger and the Panasonic charger should be less intense.

That energizer charger will charge your batteries at too high a rate and reduce both the life and number of cycles of your batteries. 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).

If your phone takes AAA batteries these should work perfectly. My phones (model KX-TGA641) told me to charge for 7 hours after I installed them. These batteries brought my phones to "like new" again!
