Q1: What is the mAh capacity rating (ie; 800 mAh) ? Q2: Are they (likely or) compatible with Sanyo Enloop charge stations?

DANGER: These are NOT rechargeable batteries. The Sanyo Eneloop chargers I've seen are intended for Ni-MH(nickel-metal hydride) rechargeable batteries. It can be dangerous to attempt recharging any kind of batteries in the wrong kind of charger. There are rechargers for alkaline batteries, but I've heard they aren't worth the trouble, and/or are a pain in the neck, and/or are dangerous. -- Why bother - these batteries are really cheap. - Paul

I've used it to charge many different types of ni-cads and and ni-mh's. Seems to work very well. I have a few eneloop 1900 mah and they charge well. I have not had a lot of luck with the eneloop lasting very long since they are only 1.9amp so have changed to other larger amperage batteries. Energizer 2.3 and Precision 2.9amp. But the charger seems to handle all of them.

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.

Generally speaking, the '2000 mAh typical' is the average (i.e. some being in the ~1900-2000mAh range, others being in the ~2000-2100mAh) for rechargeable batteries. Even though these are rebranded Sanyo Eneloops 2nd gen from Japan (1500 cycles - not 1000 as advertised), which are generally more reliable/consistent than nameless Chinese ones, I've little doubt that Amazon would mix older and more discharged cells with newer cells in each package, for cost/efficiency. For that reason, I'd recommend discharging and fully recharging these immediately after you get them in order to get the most consistent results. If you're looking for higher capacity batteries, Amazon also sells these slightly more expensive ones: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Capacity-Pre-Charged-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00HZV9WTM/ which seem to be rebranded Eneloop XX/Pro's (also Sanyo/Japanese made). You do sacrifice charge cycles (about 1/2 of the white model), but I'm doubtful any normal user would notice the difference, though.

I would probably get the latest Panasonic charger. I don't think those Sanyo chargers use all of the modern features of a smart charger, you might have overcharged your cells and Eneloops don't like being overcharged, or well any LSD NiMH cell. You'll need to get your model number of that charger so people can help determine whether it's your charger. Also if you got an infrared thermometer (the one that you can point and click with the laser) so you can see how hot those cells get. Usually they don't go above 110F in the La Crosse charger and the Panasonic charger should be less intense.

I think Sanyo is making the best nimh arround the brands. This charger shouldn't be a problem.

You can, will just reduce capacity over time a little bit.optimum would be to use until it cuts off (use 2nd pair AAA as backup) and then charge in "Delta V" charger.or put it in a good charger every 6-8 month and run 4-5 cycles of charge/discharge @ 200/100mAh and your good.or just buy new NiMH "sooner".I do recommend getting Sanyo Eneloop. work +24h since they are 800mAh (vs 600mAh stock)..

Thanks, I already ordered the eneloop charger anyway because I just wasn't sure. At least this way I'll know I have two capable chargers. Jim

It would depend on the charger and how discharged batteries are. I used Sanyo Eneloop charger that charges in pairs to charge 4 of these AA batteries. I plugged it in at ~10pm and by 8am (possibly earlier) the batteries were charged. Other chargers may be faster or slower.

One is based on NiMH and the other is Lithium-ion. I've used the NiMH and I'm not at all happy with the welding/mechanical connection on the negative side of the battery. Both are Low Self Discharge (LSD) which is good. I'd go for it and get the LiON 9v @600mAh -- In theory it should last 3x longer. These NiMH 9v are "claimed to be LSD" but I get poor shelf life, nothing like the Sanyo 'White Label AA" which are fantastic NiHM LSD batteries. I've had superior results with Lithium-ion, but you pay the price. You will have to run your own tests and real world applications. I'd buy the set with the 4 batteries and the recharger (as they are only asking a bit over $2 for the charger -- some batteries can be touchy with what charger is charging them. Would enjoy seeing your feedback on your experience.

I purchased 10 of these batteries to make an eBike battery pack. I tore them apart and tested every individual cell with an Imax B6 charger. Cells are about 2000 mAh, which makes the whole pack 6000 mAh. They seem to be good quality since they are not too far from the specs which is 2200 mAh per cell. Also keep in mind that the capacity gets lower as batteries wear out.

I didn't use a Sanyo Eneloop charger, I used a EBL 800 charger. They were fine when they were done charging. But if you don't have a "smart charger" you should wait until you drain all of the power from the batteries so you won't risk over charging the batteries. I'm guessing that's the reason your batteries were hot.

My friend has the same system that you do. He is the one that recommended the Imedion AA NiMH 2400 to me as I was looking for a high capacity LSD battery. He is very satisfied with the performance of these batteries as am I. These batteries actually hold 150 - 200 mAH more than their rated capacity so this could require a proportionally longer charge time due to this. I would imagine you would want to use these batteries as a group and not mix them with the Goal Zero AA batteries.

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.

I know this is a little older but YES, you can use the older Sanyo charger. While these Sanyo cells are gen 4 NiMH cells, NiMH chargers are not generation specific. (Obviously they (and other chargers) are chemistry-specific, as a NiMH charger only charges NiMH cells, NiCad only NiCad, Lithium only lithium of that specific voltage, etc., unless you have one of the advanced chargers, such as what is made by NiteCore IntelliCharger line, that is explicitly designed and labeled to be capable of charging batteries with different chemistries and different voltages.) I recommend consideration of a "smart" charger as they can extend the service life of the batteries by maintaining high capacity throughout its life. As these are Sanyo cells, the have the ability to keep a very long service life and a quality charger will maximize it...I have some of these eneloops in the 2nd generation version and with well over 700 load cycles they still have over 85% capacity!!!

Hello Travis, yes you "can" charge your Eneloop on any nickle metal halide (NIMH) charger, including the Energizer one, but be aware that the Warranty on the Eneloop is only valid if charged with an Eneloop/Sanyo charger. For $20, you can buy the basic Sanyo/Eneloop charger that charges only in pairs, for less than $30 you can buy the Eneloop charger that charges 4 batteries individually( and also has two bays that will "quick charge " in 1 hour). Since the 3rd generation Eneloops can be charged 1800 times, I bought the best Eneloop charger and love it. Right now Costco has a $20 package with 12 batteries, the basic eneloop charger and a few spacers to boot. My answer comes to you after I reviewed the "Eneloop" frequently asked questions website. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have been using them on a 1000mA and a 1300mA charger for my Android Incredible. I have the original 1300mAh battery and also have a heavier 2150mAh battery. Both have charged with no problem so far, using a 1000mAh 115VAC to 5VDC Usb charger.
