Can I use these batteries with my Sony charger ? Are these batteries compatible with only the Sanyo eneloop charger or can I use them with any charger for AA batteries ?

According to Sanyo eneloop web site: "Eneloop batteries are not limited to Eneloop chargers or any special proprietory charging technology and can be charged using other quality non-Eneloop Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery chargers." As long as you have a good quality "smart" charger (meaning that it charges each cell individually and stops whenever each cell is full), you can charge the eneloop cells with it. Personally, I would avoid those 15-minute Super-Fast chargers.

You should be able to charge these batteries, but get ready to learn you wasted money for crappy batteries... Most of the "high power" batteries I came across are fake and not holding more than half charge they promise. Only brand name batteries like Eneloop and Duracell were performed exactly as specified. Another problem with off brand batteries is self-discharge. I had several batteries losing up to 70% of charge within one month. On the bright side with this charger you will find-out what batteries you can trust. Good luck!

I first purchased a 4 battery Sanyo set that included a Sanyo charger. While I think your energizer charger would work, I would not take that approach myself as the Sanyo charging paradigm may differ from the energizer charger. YMMV.

Absolutely. The AmazonBasic (white) pre-charged NiMH cells are identical to the Sanyo eneloop cells electrically, so the charger won't know the difference. In fact, you can use any good-quality 'smart' charger designed for NiMH cells to recharge any brands of NiMH cells. Battery manufacturers always tell you to use only their own brand of charger - for obvious reason. 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 Sanyo MQN06 charger and AmazonBasics NiMH Charger

I have used many Sanyo eneloop AA cells in my old Canon S1, new Canon S5, Canon 420EX flash unit, etc. I believe low-self-discharge batteries are idealy suited for digital cameras, especially for intermittent shooting. There are people who claim that ordinary NiMH cells are better because those are rated 2700mAh instead of 2000mAh. But I never have the need to shoot 500 pictures in one day. Plus I keep one set of spare batteries in the camera bag anyway. Ordinary NiMH cells self-discharge so fast, you always have to recharge the batteries just before shooting. Plus there is no point in keeping a spare set because it would become exhausted by the time you need it.

Yes, that is what I bought these batteries for. They are both still working great, nice to have 2 batteries - always have a spare. Would recommend getting a separate charger also.

The Sanyo eneloop cells can be recharged using any good-quality 'smart' chargers designed for NiMH cells. For the sake of battery lifespan, avoid timer-based overnight 'dumb' chargers, and '15-minute' ultra-fast battery roasters. As a general rule, any brand of NiMH cells can be recharged using other brands of NiMH chargers. But the manufacturer always tell you to use only the same brand - for obvious reasons.

all i can say is it that they work with my DSC-H70. i bought 4 of them and they all have performed just as well as the sony battery. my only complaint is that they can sometime stick in the charger, but a little fingernail in the right place and they pop right out. all in all i definitely recommend them. hope this helps.

You actually need to use the Wasabi charger for the Wasabi batteries. OEM batteries will not work with the charger. I think the Wasabi batteries can work with OEM charger though. I haven't tested them yet.

Besides the change to the name (Panasonic bought Sanyo) and changed the name from XX to Pro as well as the packaging, the only real change is to the number of charge cycles the batteries are rated for (up to 500) and the milliamp (2550 versus 2500 - a bit longer run time between charges). Yes, you can still charge these batteries with your charger or any fast NiMH charger. Tammie Thomas Distributing

I use this lantern with NiMH batteries and it works fine. Specifically, I use the Energizer AA Rechargeable 2200 mAh batteries or the Sanyo Eneloop AA 2000 mAh (I have multiple sets of rechargable batteries which I use for all sorts of things). I also use the AA to D adapters so the batteries will fit. The Sanyos last a little longer; probably because they are better batteries. Obviously, the AA rechargeables don't last as long as D batteries. I also haven't timed how long the lantern lasts with AA rechargables, but my best guess is about 10-15 hours. I hope this helps.

I use the Sandy Eneloop rechargeable batteries in my camera and they work fine. Also last longer than standard AA batteries.

I use the Sanyo Enloop AA batteries and they work great. I would say that rechargeables will work well but will NOT last as long as regular alkaline batteries. They are of course way cheaper than throw aways. This statement assumes that you are using some kind of quality rechargeable batteries. I have purchase some batteries from China, that advertize high capacity ratings, that do NOT carry the capacity they are advertized to carry. That is why I purchased the Sanyo batteries - I had confidence that they would carry the charge and as important, the Sanyo batteries also will carry the advertized capacity, at least to a high degree, for a year. Some of the cheaper rechargeables lose 90% of their charge in 30 or 60 days. So, if you are going to use this battery on an ongoing basis, go rechargeable. If you are going to put it in your wife's car glove box for an emergency 2 or 5 years down the road, use a Duracell that will hold a charge for 10 years. Hope this helps.

I have been trying 4 AA sanyo eneloop batteries with the included C plastic holder/adapter. I worked for 2.5 weeks and then needed to be charged. Not too happy with that time frame, but it does eliminate the buying of C batteries. The eneloop have a unique chemistry, they work at lower fridge temperatures.

No. These are 18650 batteries. By volume they are, maybe, twice the size of "AA" batteries. They would be too large both in girth and length. Try and find "AA" rechargeable batteries if that is what you need. 18650 are not "AA" compatible.
