energizer charger to charge the eneloop batteries? Can I use my energizer charger on the eneloop batteries?

The smart ones are the ones that (ideally) can charge a single battery, or multiple batteries individually. It should also detect when a single cell is full and stop. If you stick a new nearly empty AA and a half-way charged AAA NimH battery, they should not stop charging at the same time.

I honestly do not know if an Energizer charger would work, but I would not recommend it. Sanyo makes a charger for these and it is not expensive.

I actually use an Energizer charger for my Eneloops. And, yes, it is a smart charger in that it stops charging when the battery is "full".And, as far as shelf life. My kids use them for their gaming controllers and swap the batt's in charger when it's time. I use them in my digital camera and don't have to worry about the battery being dead after sitting for month. I keep a new set in the bag just in case they do die on me. I also use them in my remote controls.I would not recommend their use in smoke detectors, clock radios, or anything that will put a continual and uninterrupted drain on them. Those are what alkaline batteries are for. I actually use an Energizer charger for my Eneloops.

Yes, I tried charging Energizer 2450mAh AA rebatteries with no problem. Just be sure to charge it in pairs of the same bat capacity.

I think they would probably work in the regular Energizer charger, but I haven't risked it. I got rid of the fast energizer charger because it seems to damage the batteries--15 mins. is TOO fast.

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.

I use Eneloop rechargeables in my boy's Kidizoom and have since the first (non-rechargeable) batteries died soon after Christmas. I haven't had any problems.

How does the 15 minute energizer rapid charger and energizer brand batteries compare to this charger? I am looking to order several for my company and need them to last as well as be time efficient. . .

Based on my experience charging the Sony "CycleEnergy" included with the charger, La Crosse "Tech", Eneloop, and a gaggle of very old Energizer Ni-MH batteries, the short answer is yes. Note however, in the operating instructions "Warnings" section, Sony states, "Use only Sony AA or AAA size Ni-MN rechargeable batteries." In the "Instructions" section Sony states, "Do not mix batteries of different capacity, type, or brand. Do not use batteries which are charged at different times. Always keep rechargeable batteries together as a set. Replace as a whole set. Do not mix old batteries with new ones." Perhaps I am cynical but I generally disregard "use only" brand statements, which I believe are strictly a marketing tactic. Coincidentally, regardless of what Sony states, I have, as far as I am able to tell, successfully simultaneously charged different battery brands and capacities in the Sony charger. That is not to say that there is not a legitimate issue that dictates not doing so; rather, I cannot comprehend what the issue could be. Bottom line: yes, the Sony charger will charge any brand of Ni-MH battery. Regarding mixing brands or capacities, I have not noticed any issues doing so. Ed

The charger is ment for lipo batteries. 7.4 & 11.1 etc. I dont know what the connection is called for the charge side of a lipo. Hope that helps. None of the connections you mentioned would work for that.

That energizer charger will charge your batteries at too high a rate and reduce both the life and number of cycles of 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).

I don't know about your specific charger but I have had success with both my Panasonic cordless phone chargers and an Energizer charger. They appear to be an interchangeable Ni-MH AA.

Yes, I use rechargeable energizer batteries both AA and C size and this charger works well with them.

Mr. C------ I have an Energizer charger, a Panasonic charger and an eneloop charger charger and several different brands of rechargeable batteries and they all recharge just as you would expect in any of the charging devices. Hope this helps. Mr. SJ

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!

So I have the regular Energizer slow charger. I may have heard you wrong but they do not work in the Eng. fast charger, but they DO work in the regular charger?

I am using energizer recharger but cannot fully recharge the batteries. I guess Tenergy charger would suit its original brand.
