Can this charge older type NiMH batteries? I have plenty of AA/AAA batteries (Duracell, Energizer, Panasonic) which are 3-7 years old...Thx

Yes, but every time a battery charges then discharges it loses some power. My older batteries will charge up but never seem to hold that charge as long as when new.

Yes. The charger (BQ-CC17) is very forgiving and will recharge even old NiMH cells with lower capacity or higher internal resistance. The brand of the battery does not matter, as long as it is either NiMH or NiCd type.

No this charger will only hold 2 batteries at a time. It will not charge AAA batteries.

Any charger that will charge basic NiCad batteries will also charge the nickel metal hydride batteries. However, I have not had good luck with Amazon AA rechargable batteries.

I can't vouch for "any", but they do charge in another charger I have - a Duracell one - and I would expect any nimh charger would charge them. However, I will say that I really prefer the Panasonic charger I got with these batteries. The Panasonic one will charge individual cells, where any other battery charger I've had will only charge in pairs.

It charges both style of batteries. I have charged my 7.2v 1100mah, 7.2v 1600mah battery and my 8.4v 1600mah NIMH and it did the job with no problems. if it will do those it will charge yours just fine. I have had mine for a year and it still works.

I don't have personal experience with this charger but it's shown on the Amazon website as MP-906 and under "Product Description" itsays "Fit for Ni-Mh/Ni-cd" (and others). I recharge mine in a Sony BC-CS2A with no problems. If you need more precise info, I suggest calling Duracell Customer Service at 800-551-2355.

Carefully check that your Duracell charger is not for NiCd batteries. It must say that it will charge Ni-MH batteries instead. They are not interchangeable.

The unit will charge any combination of one to eight AA and/or AAA NiMH batteries, regardless of mAH rating. Mix and match - the charger doesn't know and doesn't care.

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

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.

My guess is that you should be able to charge eneloop AAA cells inside your Panasonic DECT 6.0 phone. The phone only knows that a new set of batteries has been inserted after a power interruption, So it will give you the standard "Please charge phone for 7 hours" message. But it cannot know what type of battery is placed in it. The factory-equipped AAA NiMH cells are probably lower capacity (~600mAh) type. That's why the eneloop AAA (~800mAh) works better. It is safe to use higher capacity batteries in a slow-charger designed for lower capacity batteries..

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.

I have the standard charger, but I do not know if it will work for NiMH batteries...good question. Perhaps you should contact Black & Decker, and see if they have your answer.

I have only charged AA batteries and it does great with those. I have not tried AAA batteries yet.

Yes it should as long as it came with Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH). Some much older chargers (before 2006) might only charge NiCd batteries and are not suited to charge Ni-MH batteries. I would consider investing in a good charger that reads the voltage in the battery and charges it based on that. The Energizer Charger charges your batteries based on a set time and not on what the battery actually might need. This reduces the life of the battery and can undercharge or overcharge the battery reguardless of its brand. If you are considering investing in the top eneloop batteries a good $30-40 charger would be a worth while investment. Michael Bluejay's Battery Guide online gives a lot of great information about both rechargeable batteries and chargers.

I don't know about he nimh 2000 batteries, but I do know that it won't charge devices. The batteries must be in device and will charge the device. Must be disconnected to start charging process again.
