The Energizer Value Charge CHVCMWB-4 is a very poor charger. It charges in pairs (BAD) and is timer-based (BAD). If you are in a pinch, you can use it to recharge eneloop cells. But in the long run you'll going to send your batteries to a premature death.

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

This Charger , in my opinion, is a great charger and I have three (3) of them. I have charged deep cycle batteries with good results. I guess you need to discuss your concersn with the people who say it does not work well for deep cycle batteries. Research is important prior to your final decision.

I bought this one Rayovac PS3PL Smart Charger AA/AAA/C/D/9V Platinum Universal Battery Charger http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008LY67YA/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0or if you want to use spacers instead of buying C batteries you could buy the eneloop power pack. probably would have to charge the AA batteries a lot more if you use a high drain device. eneloop Super Power Pack, 1800 cycle, 12 AA, 4 AAA, 2 "C" and 2 "D" Spacers, 4 Position Charger, and Storage Case

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).

It is strictly for charging Alkaline batteries. This charger is not to be used with any other batteries. Until now, we could not charge the Alkaline battery. This charger has made that possible thereby extending their useful life.

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 can give you my limited experience with chargers. My previous charger destroyed my batteries because I didn't take them out when they were through charging. Maybe my mistake, but who wants to be stuck waiting for the charger to finish? I have used this charger quite a bit lately and love it!! I have AA and AAA batteries in many many devices around the house. I charge Eneloop batteries in this La Crosse and it has functioned perfectly. Yes, I spent a lot of money on batteries and this charger. Has it been worth it to me? YES.

I use the excellent Eneloop AA NiMH rechargeable battery in all our AA-using cameras (Canon PowerShots and Lumix) and have no complaints. The Sanyo chargers sold with Eneloop cells are good; the Duracell CEF23 charger and the LaCrosse BC-700 charger/tester are both excellent. "Direct charge" (charging a camera's battery while it's still in the camera) ties up the camera during the charge process, and it is a system to be avoided if at all possible. All of our cameras have aux power in jacks or aux power in adapters. These are used for tethered shooting or with external battery packs. Few users need this feature, but it can be useful for things like time-lapse photography and lengthy continuous video.

I don't know what you are asking, but I think it is widely believed that Eneloop batteries are excellent. If you want to get some great information, check out the reviews by "NLee the Engineer".

I'm using this with rechargeable batteries since around 5 months without any issues. The ones I'm using are from Eneloop (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009LU9150/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1), wonderful capacity; charger I'm using is also from Eneloop only (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058GZWXQ/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1)

I've left eneloop batteries in there for weeks and it doesn't seem to cause any problems. It's probably true for other batteries as well.

There is now way to do a "storage charge" with this charger.I think you are thinking about NI-CAD batteries, this charger is intended primarily for LI-PO batteries.

It charges AAA Eneloop and AA Energizer cells successfully. I don't know about any other brands.

Now there is an interesting question. Usually you use a charger dedicated to charging nickel hydride batteries. Some charges will do both nickel cadmium and nickel hydride. The nice thing about enloops is they last through many charges, do not have a memory and hold about 75% of the charge for a year. I have used them ever since they came out and never had a problem. Fantastic for slow drain and fast drain uses. Enloop has a charger for them that works quite well, but will only charge 4 at a time. There are other chargers out there but make sure they handle NIMH.

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?

I have used several chargers and they have all worked with these batteries. You should not have to purchase a specific one.
