Does it work on rechargeable NiMH batteries?

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.

I just bought one and it comes with a certain type of non-rechargeable batteries and it states that you must change the settings if you change battery type. So I think that you can use any type but you may have to changes the settings. I've used mine on a 30 mile backpacking trip and it worked great! Good luck, Ken

Yes, it will charge NiMH and 18650 Li batteries. It is a very versatile and robust charger. Best purchase I've made

If one battery is depleted more than the other, it will only charge until the least depleted battery is fully charged. Also. rechargable batteries do not last forever. NiMH are better than some others though. I believe this charger only charges NiMH rechargables.

Designed only for NiCad and NiMH. I haven't and won't try lithium or other batteries.

The quick answer is "it depends." Read the label of your "solar" rechargeable battery types. If the label says it is a nickle cadmium (NiCad) or Nickle Metal Hydride (NiMH) the answer is YES, just remember to set the charger's slide switch to the type of battery you wish to recharge. Charging batteries of different types (alkaline, NiCad, NiMH) invites a poor recharge at best, overheating, leakage or damage to the charger. The answer is NO for recharging standard (heavy duty) batteries and for recharging high-end lithium or "Quantum" batteries.

Yes. It will charge both NiMH and NiCD batteries, either one at a time or up to eight at a time. You can even mix NiMH and NiCD. Just don't mix them in the same slot.

It will work with almost all rechargeable & it can automatically identify Li-ion, Ni-MH & Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries. It will not unless your batteries are rechargeable. I hope this will help you

This charger CAN recharge NiMH batteries as well as the included Alkaline batteries.I wouldn't try standard disposable alkalines, but I use it for my sizable collection of NiMHs as well - in fact, I bought it to replace a failed charger that blew up four of my newer NiMH batteries.

As per the product spec's "Energizer Recharge Smart Charger charges 2 or 4 AA or AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries"as long as the batteries are NiMH rechargeable types it SHOULD work. Personally, I just use the ones that came in the kit

Yes, of course. But only niMh (nickel-metal-hydrides) batteries, not the old nicads.

No. This will only work with NiMH and NiCd batteries. It does not provide the balanced charging adapter that is used to charge lipos. You will need to look for a specific LiPo battery charger.

It can indeed charge any other brand of NiMH cells...but why bother, (unless you've made an earlier poor investment in the wrong brand) all other brands of NiMH rechargeable cells are junk when compared with eneloop and eneloop pro.

my batteries are DX1500 NiMH rechargeable and i no longer have the instructions to see if it does other types but if you find a charger cheap enough it wouldn't hurt to try it

I have two B&D; 18v changers. One is clearly marked for both NiMh and NiCad the other is marked only for NiCad batteries. If you look at the black label below the red charge state light, you may see NiMh/NiCD for chargers that are intended for use with both types of battery. Older B&D; chargers may work just fine with NiMh batteries but it is also possible that that my under or over charge the battery and shorten its life.

After doing a lot of research on NiMH and Li-Ion batteries and their respective charging algorithms (see book called "Batteries in a Portable World" or website batteryuniversity.com), I would say NO... do not use this charger for Li-Ion batteries. Only Ni-Cd and NiMH!!

Yes. I've used NiMH batteries from different brands, all without issues. I currently have Eneloops in all my Maglites.

Yes, as long as the batteries are AA or AAA NickelMetalHydride (NiMH).Do not put there NiCd, LiIon, Alkalines, or any other type of battery, just NiMH
