Will this work with other battery brands, specifically Eneloop?

The charger has a warning printed warning on it saying "Caution: Charge only NiMH or Rechargeable Alkaline batteries by iGo Green. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage." It's interesting that those different types of common rechargeables are listed as compatible, so it might be possible to use the charger universally, but it comes down to the voltage and current limiting details of the iGo charger, that it might not be an exact match for other brands like Eneloop so a battery could overheat while charging. The Eneloop charger lists charging voltage at 1.2v, iGo lists output at 1.6v. If you want to charge Eneloop, most NiMH - NiCd chargers do work fine from my experience, because both those battery types only output at 1.2v. iGo is featuring rechargeable Alkaline with a cell voltage of 1.5v.

As far as I know, it will charge 1.5 volt AA rechargeable batteries of any manufacturer.

seems to work with any rechargeable including lithium or NiCad aa or aaa battery, 1 or 2 at a time (cannot charge C, or D size batteries). a little bit slow, but seems to know when to shut off when charging is complete. avoids having to carry a 240 volt 50 cycle battery charger when traveling outside USA , can charge through computer or other USB - source (most phone chargers, including Apple, now include a 110 to 250 volt USB female into which the charging cord plugs, which requires a simple adapter to accept the US standard 2 blade plug when in Europe or elsewhere).

Hey there, I have never tried to charged batteries of other brands. I thought they mention that it shouldn't charge with other brands..

I don't think so. I believe each brand uses a different style battery (of course!)

I have used the Sanyo Pre-charged Eneloop; they are terrific, reasonably priced and last forever. I use them in everything now. This camera really does call for this type of battery.

yes this charger should work with other batteries. the charger has an auto shut off when battery is charged.

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

Yes it works fine with eneloops although after awhile the fit of the batteries in the compartment got looser than regular alkaline.

It only charges AA and AAA batteries. Eneloop makes "C" and "D" adapters that utilize the AA size batteries to be used in devices that require the C size and D size batteries. Hope this answers your question.

Absolutely. I have the Fujifilm S8300 (close enough) and use eneloop cells in it without any problems. Just remember to specify the battery type in the setup menu as 'NiMH'.

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.

Yes... I'm using both AA and AAA Sanyo Eneloop batteries and it does a fine job.

3500mah AA rechargeables? That's very high - my AA Eneloops might reach 2250 or so..... but anyway - yes this unit should work fine. You can adjust the charge to be quicker if you want. I charge my AA Eneloops at about 400 and they're done within 8 hours. I love this charger.

Yes, there is a Eneloop charger available. You may be able to charge these in most any rechargable battery charger, but I've never tried that.
1810818
Yes, it will. It can charge nickel metal hydride cells with a nominal voltage of 1.2 V. My family has used it to charge Eneloops with no problems, and I know many people who do the same.

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

Yes it will even though the battery's are a little heavy, or you can by Eneloop AA Rechargeable Batteries with D Battery inserts.
1857822
Yes it does. I am using Eneloop batteries and am quite happy with them and the charger.

The brand and capacity does not matter. As long as the battery has the right size and chemistry (NiMH or NiCd), you can chrage it.
