Can it be used instead 1.5 V batteries: Is it ok to used Sanyo eneloop 1.2V rechargebles instead of 1.5V?

Most battery-operated appliances work fine with NiMH cells in place of alkaline cells. Alkaline cell starts from 1.6V when fresh, but its voltage drops linearly with usage. Rechargeable NiMH cell (such as Sanyo eneloop) starts from lower voltage, but it can maintain 1.25V operating voltage throughout most of its useful life. The only problem is that the low-battery indicator may come up early (incorrectly), due to the lower battery voltage. In your particular case, the GE A950 user manual says it can accept rechargeable NiMH cells. Therefore you can definitely use Sanyo eneloop cells.

The battery pack can only be charged in the radio handset. However,, you can use rechargeable AA batteries in place of the battery pack. If you decide to use rechargeable batteries, I would suggest getting Sanyo Eneloop batteries. They hold a charge much longer and can be recharged more often than Energizer or Duracell rechargeables.

I have used the Sanyo Pre-charged Eneloop; they are terrific, reasonably priced and last forever. I use them in everything now. This camera really does call for this type of battery.

Yes, there is a Eneloop charger available. You may be able to charge these in most any rechargable battery charger, but I've never tried that.

To recharge the batteries, you will need to purchase a charger. Here is the link to a charger and 4 AA batteries. I recommend that you get lots of AAs; it's amazing how often you use them. Sanyo Eneloop NiMH Battery Charger with 4AA NiMH Rechargable Batteries (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Yes they can. As Stan stated, most rechargeable batteries are about 1.3 volts, whereas alkaline batteries start out at 1.5. However, an alkaline's voltage decreases steadily before it is considered "dead." A rechargeable battery maintains a more constant voltage for a longer time before voltage sharply drops off at the very end of its charge. If Sanyo made C-size eneloop batteries instead of spacers, I'd recommend those, but for true C rechargeables, I recommend Rayovac or Duracell over Energizer or others.

I recommend the Eneloop AA hybrid rechargeable battery by Sanyo. These batteries retain their charge much longer than conventional rechargeable batteries.

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.

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 do, and while i have never found a rechargeable battery which lasts as long as horrible disposable ones, i would suggest sanyo's eneloop batteries

If you use the right batteries, you can get superb results. Ordinary rechargeable will be disappointing. I use the SANYO Eneloop 4-Position Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery Charger White with eneloop AA 1500 cycle, Ni-MH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries, 4 Pack. You'll get nearly 300 high def photos (highest resolution), several HD videos ranging from 1 min to 10 min, utilizing the zoom multiple times as well as the flash and review screen on one set of fully charged batteries. Just be sure you have all the other unnecessary functions you can turn on to be turned off. If you leave turned on, you'll drain the batteries very quickly. Conservation and use of what is necessary should be the only items you have set to be on. By the way, I use the camera in my profession and take, on average, 1000 photos in full resolution per month. I've owned the camera since the summer of 2013.

Yes, the eneloop charger can be used with any NiMH rechargeable batteries, however, they must be charged in pairs.
1048553
Yes. It comes with a Sanyo eneloop AA battery. And that certainly can be replaced, but I think the original battery will last for a long time.

I don't know the answer, but here is my take: I am guessing it uses a standard rechargeable AA/AAA NiMH battery inside in which case I'd recommend Sanyo's Eneloops that can handle 2000+ charge cycles and have virtually no internal self-discharge. 've tried this fix successfully on a 20 year old Philishave system.

Sanyo's position has not been consistent on this issue. Four years ago when eneloop was first introduced, Sanyo claims that eneloop does not require special chargers, because it can be recharged using any "good-quality NiMH chargers". But now Sanyo's new position is (as stated in this year's 'Sanyo eneloop handbook'): "It is strongly recommended to charge eneloop on SANYO Ni-MH battery chargers. SANYO chargers are designed to suits SANYO batteries and designed to bring out the best performance. We will not take any responsibility for batteries problem charged with other brands' charger. It is also recommended not to charge other brand' batteries with Sanyo charger." Based on my own experiece, the above is simply not trure. I have been using varies good-quality smart chargers (such as La Crosse BC-900, Duracell Mobile Charger CEF23D, Kodak K6200, Targus TG-LCD2700, etc) to recharge eneloop and other brands of LSD cells over the past 4 years - with zero problems. The problem is that not everyone understand what is a 'good-quality' charger. Some people may think a fast '15-minute' charger is good (hint: it is NOT), while others may think a slow 'over-night' charger is good (again, NOT). It is quite likely that a lot of eneloop cells were damages by the use of poor-quality chargers. That's why Sanyo has to protect itself against such situations. Of course, it is also possible that the new position is simply 'market speak', designed to sell more Sanyo eneloop chargers. But to answer your question: Yes, you can use the Canon CBK4-300 to recharge your eneloop cells.

Those batteries need to be recharged in pair. I guess that is the reason Sanyo paired batteries in different color in this set. It helps when you only use 2 batteris at one time, easy to tell which pair needs to be recharged. Other than that, batteries self are no difference. I bought the batteries only set, and they are all white.
