energizer charger to charge the eneloop batteries? Can I use my energizer charger on the eneloop batteries?

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.

You should avoid using the Energizer 15-minute charger. It has to charge at 4x the rated current (around 8-10A) to achieve fast charge time, but the trade off is severely shortened lifespan (for the batteries, not you). Not sure about your other Duracell slow charger. If it is not a timer-based dumb charger, then you can still use it to recharge AmazonBasic batteries. Unfortunately, most (all?) Energizer slow chargers I have seen are dumb. You can definitely use the Sanyo charger MQN06 to recharge AmazonBasics AA batteries. But the drawbacks are: - It can only charge in pairs - Its charge time is relatively long at ~8 hours (2200mAh/300mA) My advise is to buy a 'smart' charger with reasonable charge time between 2-5 hours. For example: Sony Cycle Energy BCG34HRE4KN Quick with Refresh Charger and 4 Pre-Charged 2000 mAh AA Batteries. You will save time and money in the long run. By the way, the proper way of using low-self-discharge batteries is to pre-charge a second set as standby. That way, you can swap in a set of charged batteries while the first set goes into the charger. No down time at all.

How does the 15 minute energizer rapid charger and energizer brand batteries compare to this charger? I am looking to order several for my company and need them to last as well as be time efficient. . .

Thanks, I already ordered the eneloop charger anyway because I just wasn't sure. At least this way I'll know I have two capable chargers. Jim

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...

You did not say what batteries or charger you are using so it's impossible to tell why you are having trouble. I use NiMH rechargeables. The silver Energizer's seem to last longer than Duracell's but both will power the unit for a day's use.

Yes, I use the eneloop charger that handles aaa and aa, works fine, nice and compact.

Yes. I use Eneloop batts, and they work perfectly. The unit has a setting for battery type (NiHM, alkaline, or lithium) which calibrates the built-in battery level indicator.

No, I wish they were! But, on the bright side, this brand of battery lasts longer than the energizer... so you won't need to re-order them anytime soon! However, if you're looking for rechargeables, you can find them here: 2032 Battery Li-Ion Rechargeable Button Cell LR2032 CR2032 3.6v and of course you'll need a charger: Lir 2032 Charger 2 X Lir 2032 3.6 Volt Li-Ion Rechargeable Button Cells hope that 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.

Yes, and they work better too. However, you cannot use your old charger with them and must buy the lime green one to use with the new lithium batteries. The new charger can be used to charge the old yellow and black batteries.

I have had some batteries that I was able to recondition. Others didn't respond to recycling. I have had great success with eneloop batteries and plan on only purchasing them when I need more batteries. It's a great charger.

I use the La Crosse Technology BC-700 Alpha Power Battery Charger. I think any charger would work with these batteries.

Maha has a good charger/battery analyzer. It's designed to work with Eneloops. La Crosse also has some excellent ones or if you want simplicity go with the Eneloop charger supplied by Panasonic it comes with 4 batteries too.

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.

Yes you can use another solar charger. I charge mine with the anker 14W dual USB port solar charger. And I have both energizer brand and the goal zero AA that came with it. They both work great.

The charger has a warning printed warning on it saying "Caution: Charge only NiMH or Rechargeable Alkaline batteries by iGo Green. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage." It's interesting that those different types of common rechargeables are listed as compatible, so it might be possible to use the charger universally, but it comes down to the voltage and current limiting details of the iGo charger, that it might not be an exact match for other brands like Eneloop so a battery could overheat while charging. The Eneloop charger lists charging voltage at 1.2v, iGo lists output at 1.6v. If you want to charge Eneloop, most NiMH - NiCd chargers do work fine from my experience, because both those battery types only output at 1.2v. iGo is featuring rechargeable Alkaline with a cell voltage of 1.5v.
