Which brands of rechargeable batteries work best in this charger?

To the best of my knowledge, any decent NiMH should work.... Its my opinion that the low discharge rate batteries, such as Imedion or Eneloops are the best batteries available these days, not since they offer the greatest capacity, but since their low discharge rate allows them to sit unused for greater periods of time, and still deliver when needed. A device such as the PortaPow might sit in your glove box for months or years before being needed. To then find the bats dead makes no sense.If you are using the portapow daily, well, I'd think there are better ways to charge your portable device....

Kinda late here, but with my experience Duracell provides the best though Eneloops have been known to work well in this device as well.This device won't work well on older NiMH batteries though, if the mA has been lost in the batteries this device won't charge very well.

I use only Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries & chrger system. They are great w/ long life per charge.

I believe you can use any AA chargeable batteries. The charger shown here will charge NiMhydride AA batteries.

The brand does not matter. As long as the battery is of the right chemistry (NiMH or NiCd) the BQ-CC17 will charge it correctly.

We are lucky if the rechargeable batteries last 3 hours...so very annoying. I started doing a little research and found that these rechargeable batteries are the best on the market : eneloop AA 1800 cycle, Ni-MH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries, 4 Pack (discontinued by manufacturer) Anyone have any experience with them?! They have really good reviews. I'm wondering if I do get them if I should get a better battery charger, if it really matters at all?!

Any charger that is certified for Nickel Metal Hydride (NI-MH) should work for these batteries.

I've had good luck with universal chargers. The size you described will fit into this charger. Usually there's a list of compatible batteries for the charger. I would recommend searching for a universal charger with your battery model number. That should give you a few options to choose from.

JPH The charger works with all batteries. I have several different brands and all charge fine.

I use rechargeable Duracell batteries. The unit comes with two "AA" batteries but because I like to be prepared when I go I purchased a charger with rechargable batteries. The unit last exceptionally long on one charge so I have no complaints

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

These batteries did not come with a charger, but I used two chargers that I have had for older rechargeable batteries with no problems.

As per the product spec's "Energizer Recharge Smart Charger charges 2 or 4 AA or AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries"as long as the batteries are NiMH rechargeable types it SHOULD work. Personally, I just use the ones that came in the kit

I do not know the answer. I know that the Anker batteries and charger I bought are versatile enough to charge any removable battery I have seen.

Any charger as far as I know that says it charges NiMH Batteries. I have used about 4 different charges for them and other rechargeable batteries and if the specified NiMH all was good! Anybody that does not use rechargeable batteries now a days is crazy! One thing to look at is the mah rating for the battery, for triple A batteries I use 1000mah or above and double A batteries about 2600mah or higher.
