I wish I'd just bought this charger a couple of years ago. The Eneloop batteries are great, but it also charges my Camelion and LLOYTRON brand rechargeables as well. It also picked up faults that I already suspected in my oldest sets of cheap Camelion AAs, so that was nice to have confirmed and dump them. I wish I'd just bought this charger a couple of years ago.

These are the best rechargeable batteries I have come across and the 3hr smart charger is excellent. These are the best rechargeable batteries I have come across and the 3hr smart charger is excellent.

Bought these for my digital Cameras that use AA batteries.
Normally I use Alkaline primary cells as rechargeable cells, either NiCad or NMIH, simply won't work because the Camera's report them as 'low charge' and immediately shutdown.

These Eneloop's on the other hand work great.
It's only a week since I charged them up and installed them but the Camera's battery gauge is still showing 'full' where as every other brand of Rechargeable I've tried has been too flat for the camera's within 24 hours.
FWIW I just put one camera on a tripod and filmed outside for 15 minutes, battery gauge still full and I know from past experience other NiC...view more Bought these for my digital Cameras that use AA batteries.

The charger included in this package also charges the 'heavy duty' 2500 ma Eneloop's so double value.

These batteries have great power / weigh ratio. Lighter than the more powerful black version. Charger is quick too. These batteries have great power / weigh ratio. Lighter than the more powerful black version. Charger is quick too.

Best quick charger I've ever had. Does exactly what it says. Best quick charger I've ever had. Does exactly what it says.

Just what we wanted. Trying to do our bit by moving from disposable to recyclable and this works well Just what we wanted. Trying to do our bit by moving from disposable to recyclable and this works well

Great stuff. Displays the battery status. Charges pretty quickly too. Recommended. Great stuff. Displays the battery status. Charges pretty quickly too. Recommended.

Fast charging and long lasting?? What else do you need? No better batteries and charger for the current times. Have been waiting years for the technology to get to this stage. This is the balance!

Pros:
- Displays Status of Batteries
- Sleek Design with LEDs
- Fast Charging
- Great Quality Eneloop Batteries
- Can Charge 1 Battery at a Time

Cons:
- Only charges AA and AAA
- LEDs too Bright at Night

This battery charger was purchased to replace my Energizer one that charged 3 types of batteries but unfortunately that one died after a crap battery leaked and shorted the charger. This doesn't seem to be a problem with the Panasonic as it seems to be more intelligent and detects when bad batteries or non rechargeables are placed into it and refuses to charge the battery.

It was able to detect that 4 of my old Energizer batteries which I've had for over 5 years have deteriorated and refused to charge them which is great, so i threw them into the bin and got new ones.

The price is quite steep at $50+ but when you consider that 4 rechargeable batteries are around $20+ and you're paying only ~$30 then it's not a bad deal given that this charger seems very intelligent. It's also able to charge one battery at a time where as the cheaper Panasonic one can only charge in pairs.

It's a good battery charger and nice rechargeable batteries. I rated 1 star because all of a sudden the charger didn't work anymore and I only do some light charging and I only had it for a few months. I was hoping it would last longer than what I had experienced. It's a good battery charger and nice rechargeable batteries.

It is so much better to have the peace of mind to know that the charger is taking care of all the finnicky details of getting a charge right, so that I don't have to worry about damaging my batteries. No worries about overcharging, or charging in pairs that are well matched so one does not get over charged, or if it is fully charged yet. I should have spent the little extra years ago.

My only negative comment is that this charger refuses to charge some of my old batteries that have already been damaged by low quality chargers (e.g. they only hold 75 charge). So I have to use the old chargers for those batteries, but realistically I should probably just throw those old batteries away and save on some hassle.

Really enjoying this charger. Great, fast charging. Doesn't always like other brand rechargeables...it'll take some and others it will spit the dummy at, so best to use with the Eneloop batteries...not just because of that but also because they last just soooo much longer. Seriously considering buying another set. Really enjoying this charger. Great, fast charging.
