Can these batteries be charged to thier max full range using an Energizer Battery Charger??? Or do I need to buy their charger??

I've used other chargers including Energizer to charge these and it works fine.

Sorry for the first "short" answer. These batteries are so crappy that the best charger in the world won't do better to make up for their less than advertised capacity (in my experience) and poor performance in a small digital camera. If your going to spend more money get eneloops.

There is nothing that will effectively charge these batteries. They are a waste of money and will immediately fail. Just buy a dewalt.

Yes, You should put a charge controller in line to batteries, rated at the proper amps/watts so you don't overcharge batt.

I read that these batteries, if not used frequently used, tend to go dormant and the chargers will not charge. Need to connect battery to a regular battery charger to re-energize. Recommend you try to charge another battery or investigate the dormant battery issue for your specific equipment. Hope this helps.

Well yea, use a battery charger , or a deep cycle charger with a max of 35 amp .Most deep cycle batteries use a slow charge rate anyway which is a lower amp charger.Just keep the amp below 30 to 35 amp @ 12 volt. This is not a 24 or more system charger.

Yes, you can purchase recharging batteries that will work. I bought Energizer Recharge Power Plus from Lowes Hardware and they do work. Regular batteries (non-rechargeable) do not work!

I don't know where you got this info, but the high capacity chargers for both devices are rated at 5VDC, 2.1A. So NO. And, if you charge at a faster rate the battery will fry!

you can charge them as much as you want they don't acquire a 'memory' but as soon as the fully charged light comes on remove from charger they can be damaged by being left on charge they don't seem to discharge just lying around the mah hours on these batteries are greatly overstated

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. . .

You can charge these batteries with any makita charger designed to charge makita 18v slide style batteries. Input voltage does not matter.

I have used several chargers and they have all worked with these batteries. You should not have to purchase a specific one.

Yes, sort of. These batteries have specific eflite-only plugs, so it's necessary to either use their charger or to get an adapter that goes from the battery plug to the charger. If you have that, then charge away!

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.

Depends on your charger, and how much capacity the batteries actually have (most Ultrafire batteries have false mAh markings). I wouldn't buy these, all except for one I've ever heard of were bad batteries, and even that purchaser found the capacity was 2000 some mAh. I'd find some Panasonic 3100 or 3400mAh protected batteries instead, these Ultrafires are not worth it.

I have always gotten a full charge and never had to replace partway thru charging. Also, I use Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries because they last much longer than normal batteries.

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

Ps, I read a post after I wrote that any charger will work on Duracell's. My comment to that persons claim Duracell sucks, not true. I use AA/AAA BATTS AND I LOVE THEM. I use them on several (high demand) items they last super long. From video controllers to my house phone (1 full charge will last about a week, only put I on the cradle once a week)!
