How well will Eneloop work with Panasonic Dect 6.0 phones? My cordless Panasonic Dect 6.0 phone came with Panasonic 650 mAh batteries. When the phone needs recharging it will say "recharge phone for 7 hours" I found out I have to charge the batteries in the phone on the phone cradle charger. I tried charging a pair on my La Crosse and when I installed them in the phone it still said I had to charge the phone for 7 hours. I figured there must be a circuit with a timer that needs to be reset after the batteries are charged. I was wondering how the eneloop AAA batteries would work with the phone, and would they get a full charge or would I have to continue to buy Panasonic low mAh rated batteries.

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?
507323
The problem is that most likely the phone charger is a dumb straight, non terminating charger that is completely overcharging the eneloops. I really am annoyed at Panasonic for doing something in their phones such that a completed charged set of eneloops will show up as need to be charged. Stupid. I want to charge my eneloops in my own smart charger, not the dumb phone cradle chargers.

Thank you for the info. A few days ago, I got the 'Eneloops' anyway. Maybe my stock Panasonic batteries had run their useful life course, because the Eneloops work very well and last much longer than the Panasonics. Plus the 7 hour audio and text recharge message does pop up when they run low (someone had suggested that the phone just 'dies', with no message). In any case, I can always use the Eneloops until I am not satisfied with their performance. They only cost me like ten bucks for 4.

Thanks for the lowdown. I didn't spend much money for the Eneloops, so as long as the work better than the Panasonic stock batteries, i'm happy for now. I will look into the batteries you mentioned though if I need to.

I've been using eneloop generation 1 batteries in my panasonic cordless phones for 6 months. No problems; never expected any anyhow.

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'm using Panasonic eneloop 2000mah rechargeable, which is low discharge battery and they are still going strong after month. Will update when they need recharging. I used the Maha MH-C9000 to cycle and charge them as well.

'cause when the phone says 100% the battery is not actually there. the phone only interprets the voltage it senses but the capacity of battery is not full yet. I recommend to only charge the phone with at least 2A charger. suppose you have a 0.7 Ah charger (700mA) (it reads on the charger btw) then 10000mA divided by 700 means 14 hours of charge required! this is why you should always charge with 2A charger, that way over night (cca 6h) your phone will be fully charged.

There are chargers that will do any number, most of them are smart chargers but you can get the Panasonic Advanced Individual Cell Battery Charger with eneloop AA 2100 Cycle Rechargeable Batteries (White, Pack of 4) charger which is a pretty good buy. I highly recommend you get one with an individual charger as when you charge them in pairs one battery might have more charge than the other and would undercharge the other battery. Plus it would be ideal for you since you need an odd number of batteries.

I don't know what Eneloop batteries are. We used rechargeables. Our son slept 12-13 hours each night and it usually swung the whole time. Then we'd charge the batteries all day and start again.

Horrible idea to use "fast" chargers with quality rechargeable batteries! Many other chargers will charge your batteries at too high a rate and reduce both the life span and total number of cycles for 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). Plan ahead and have other charged batteries on hand...fans of "fast charging" will NEVER get the maximum capacity, performance or life span that slow charging batteries can give you.

Why YES, these RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES will be recharged fully when you insert them in Panasonic telephones for approximately 7 hours. Then your telephones will be back to great service as long as you keep an eye on the little bars in the upper right hand corner of your chordless phone which indicates battery power left.

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&psc=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&psc=1)

The 300mA for AA and 150mA for AAA is what this individual cell charger utilizes to charge each cell, whether there is 1,2,3 or 4 batteries place into the charging bays. This is the recommended current by both Sanyo and Panasonic engineers to optimize the life span of the eneloop cells.

I use the sanyo eneloop batteries in my son's Leapster--the original, not the Leapster 2. They last as long as regular batteries and the discharge rate is extremely slow when dormant. Regular rechargeables completely discharge within a matter of days when left unused. Plus, the eneloops last up to 1,000 charges, while the charging station is good for something like 300 charges? I purchased my rechargeables for around $15 with a charger included. My son and daughter are each getting a Leapster 2 for Christmas and I have already purchased more eneloops (@ $10 for 4). I don't see why rechargeables wouldn't work in the Leapster 2--I seem to remember reading several reviews where people reported opting for rechargeables vs. charging station. Hope this helps!

Stuart i don't know ebl - but i am using the eneloop for a while - that battery manufacturers are writing as capacity and what the battery is actual giving out are 2 tings - esp after you used them 20+ times the eneloop is made for dependency and for long live - they will hold most of their charge even after one year storage - the price is a little lest mah other batteries can give you more mah but loosing most of it in the first month of storage - so depending where you are using it you should choose. I prefer eneloop because I know i have something solid for the next years - they hardly dies in the charger last pretty long and holding their charge. This doesn't say that other ones are not equal.

Yes, but you would need (2) packs of them since you need 6 batteries. You'd be better off with: Panasonic NiMH AAA Rechargeable Battery for Cordless Phones x six 6 aaa 700 mah 1.2v batteries which has (6) batteries for less than 1 1/2 times the price.

Recommendations for eneloops and any rechargeable batteries. 1. Buy a good charger. 2. Don't quick charge, the extra heat will shorten the batteries life. 3. Replace them when they are low, don't leave them draining with the power on in devices. You will have two or three that won't charge without a paper clip jump (earlier post) . 4. Don't mix dead and charged batteries, the drained will be charged by the full ones the worst way to charge a battery.5. Dont mix newer generations of eneloops and older generations-it goes back to newer eneloops charging the older batteries. 6. Buy a good charger that monitors each battery throughout the charge!

I have an old VTech model ev2653.The original batteries supplied with the handsets were rated 1.2v, 600mAh and werethree individual AAA batteries.As I recall, the manual said to charge the batteries for a minimum of 12 hours prior to using the handsets.I'm wondering if the eneloop batteries would be able to be charged and used in thissystem.

If the Rayovac states that it is designed for NiMH batteries OK, but it would be best to use the Panasonic charger specific to the eneloop to obtain the most recharge cycles.

I use orbtronic protected 18650 3100 mah cells. With my PD35 on setting two they will last a minimum of 15 hours runtime. These are top of the line panasonic cells with Orbtronic circuit protection. Great batteries, store welll. Come with plastic storage cases so you do not have to purchase seperately. Rated 3100 mah but testing at home shows they have a 3200 mah capacity. You can get two for around 25. You get what you pay for. Not all batteries are created equal, regardless of claims. These are some of the best on the market, worth every penny. I found the higher capacity 3400 mah orbtronics fit very tight in my pd35 so I went with the 3100 mah and it fit perfect. I use orbtronic protected 18650 3100 mah cells.
