hello, I would like to know if I this charger can be used to charge a duracell NiMH 2650 mAh rechargeable? or if you kindly suggest me, another better charger ?

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've had every kind of chargers, and I recommend the slow ones....for example sanyo eneloop charger.

Hi Gregory! I just asked the question of the best "proven" way to charge these batts and I'm convinced by the majority of answers is to use the USB end and keep the mAh's the same 1 thru 5, of course. It will take longer, but successful all around, as many have said and I tend to agree. Some have used, me included, a 3.7V wall charger, but I don't feel any longer. I hope that this helps and puts your mind at ease as it does mine!&#128522;

Karl, Sorry I didn't notice your question eariler. Any 'value-charger' (such as this Duracell CEF14, Rayovac Easy charger, Sony BCG34HLD, etc) can be used to 'prime' a completely drained NiMH or NiCd cell. Just put it in the cheap charger for 1-2 minutes, and that should be enough for the BC-9009 to recognize it again. If the cheap charger requires charging in pairs, you can pair an empty cell with a full cell - as long as you don't forget and leave them in there for too long. If your question is: "Can I use a NiMH charger to recharge NiCd cells"? The answer is yes - if you know what you're doing. - Dumb timer-based charger expects the cell capacity of a typical NiMH to be higher (around 2500mAh). So if you put in a low-capacity NiCd cell and leave it overnight, the cell will be badly over-charged. This is not going to cause any danger, but it is bad for battery lifespan. If you can remember to remove the cells after a few hours, then it is still alright. - Smart charger like the Sony BCG34HLD looks for a voltage 'dip' (negative dV/dt) to terminate charging. The -dV/dt for NiMH is smaller than that for NiCd, which means any smart charger designed for NiMH can also handle NiCd, but not the other way around. I recommend the Sony value charger, because it is the only one that can recharge individual cells. Sony Cycle Energy BCG34HLD4KN Power Charger with 4 Pre-Charged 2000 mAh AA Batteries

This charger can only be used for Ni-MH or Ni-CD batteries, not alkaline or carbon zinc. Using other batteries could cause an explosion. It should have a steady red light when charging. Check the power source (outlet).The batteries are fully charged when the light turns green. The chart that came with the charger has the amount of time it takes to charge each size battery.

Alan: You'd have to check with the manufacturer because I'm not sure if the charging rate is the same for NiMH and Li-ion technologies. But I wouldn't use NiMH 9v batteries anyway because of their relatively high self-discharge rate. I want to be sure that when I need the battery, I won't find it dead.

I purchased this specifically to charge both my older NiCad and newer high capacity NiMH batteries as it is the only one I could find that does both. I purchased high capacity(double B&D; OEM capacity)off Eby and verified that this charger would work with seller. It has worked great-lets you know when it is done and has safety features.

Usually Energizer chargers can only charge Energizer batteries I would make sure it says compatible with high capacity NiMH batteries even if it can charge them it could take a longer time & it may heat the batteries to an unsafe temperature

It depends on the individual type of charger. Definitely they should be all RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES. The best way to know is to follow the instruction manual, or see on the back of the charger itself, mostly it is mentioned. Depending on the type of charger, most of them can recharge AA or AAA batteries of NiMH type. AGAIN, PL. CHECK. PER THEIR INSTRUCTIONS, WRONG BATTERIES USED CAN EXPLODE!

The manual actually states the reason is that "rechargeable batteries may explode under faulty conditions" but if you guys want to solve the 1.2 vs 1.5V problem, buy some NiZn rechargeables. Higher mAh and NiZn batteries are 1.6V. You'll need a new charger though, your NiMH battery charger won't work.

Yes, the eneloop charger can be used with any NiMH rechargeable batteries, however, they must be charged in pairs.

AmazonBasics Pre-Charged batteries can be recharged using any good-quality Smart charger designed for NiMH cells. But for longer battery lifespan, avoid ultra-fast (15- or 30-minute) chargers and Dumb (overnight) slow chargers. Most of the Duracell and Energizer chargers you see on the market only charge in pairs, which you should avoid. One inexpensive but Smart charger I often recommend is the Sony Cycle Energy BCG34HLD. It can recharge each cell individually, which is much better than the official AmazonBasics NiMH Charger

It says in the back to charge only Panasonic 1-4 AAA/AA Ni-MH type rechargeable batteries. Of course they would say that in order to sell their batteries. I don't see why you cannot charge other Ni-MH batteries. Note that I have only used it for Panasonic Eneloop myself.

The charger in the package you mentioned has the same model number (BCG-34HLD) as the one in this product page. So the only difference is in the four AA batteries included. Personally, I don't trust any NiMH AA cells with capacity 2500mAh or over. They all suffer from rapid-self-discharge problem after a few cycles. That's why I recommend using only low-self-discharge (Pre-Charged) type, such as those 2000mAh cells included in this package.

I have used this to replace 2.0 and 2.2 Ah batteres(NiCad and NiMH);I also have NiCad and NiMH chargers, but I only use the NiMH unit to charge them.

Absolutely not..............unless you want to ruin the recharger. This charger is (as it's instructions state) only for the recharging of NiCad and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries.

I charge my Eleloop batteries with it but they are 2000mAh AA NiMH so a little different. I'm no expert on the subject, but I believe as long as you are charging NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) rechargeables you are okay. I would check with the manufacturer of both the charger and the batteries to be certain. Total charged at one time is 8 - all chambers loaded.
