    99% certain users will find this is a 'dumb charger' - doesn't have independant channels amongst a lot of other shortfalls. The only recommended charger that Sanyo make is the nc-mqr06w. Available on Ebay for ~$17 delivered. DYOR this dumb vs intelligent chargers has been done to death lately.

    No comment on the deal but I'd not use this charger good batteries like Eneloops. Am sure most users would own an equivalent one already. :-)

      I wish it was only one! I seem to throw out one a week; they must be breeding in my house somewhere coz I don't recall buying that many chargers!!! :o

      Where can you get one from with Aussie plugs?

      • Davo1111 on 25/03/2012 - 17:15

        you can always by a converter off ebay for a buck or so. According to the ebay post it's "Auto Voltage 100–240V."

        This is 4 x 1000 cycles + charger = $19.95
        Dicksmith ones are 8 x 1500 cycles + no charger = $24.9

  • mrfluffy on 25/03/2012 - 15:09

    I would be more than happy to use any charger that Sanyo includes with their batteries.
    Chances are, they know more than our resident experts. : )

      Not at all. MBA's rule these decisions, not engineers
      Its a dumb charger. Very dumb. It will happily roast your nice new batteries.
      An example? My digital camera signals "empty" and shuts down when my eneloops still contain over 50% capacity as tested on a Maha. I pulled well over 1000mah each from them before recharging.
      In a dumb charger you would be roasting them for ~ 5 hours after full, on a timed recharge.
      Pretty typical scenario….

      • illusionarybreeze on 25/03/2012 - 21:49

        Sorry, but I am not sure what the example about your camera says about your charger. I assume a Maha is an intelligent charger?

        • King Tightarse on 25/03/2012 - 22:14
          +3

          Yes the Maha C9000 is a very thorough "intelligent" charger and battery analyzer. They've been discussed a bit here - quite popular.
          My example shows that quite often devices signal "empty" when in fact the batteries are not (half full still in my case). The Eneloop unit being offered here is timed 10 hour "dumb" charger which assumes the batteries are completely empty at the beginning of a charge. In a case like that, the timed charger would charge them up to full and continue over charging for around 5 hours, damaging the batteries.
          NiMh batteries react very poorly to overcharge, it kills them!
          So-called smart chargers can detect when the batteries are charged (delta voltage drop) and shut off.

        • illusionarybreeze on 25/03/2012 - 22:23

          I see. So is the issue of devices signalling that batteries are empty particularly prevalent with Eneloops or is it pretty much the same with any batteries regardless of type?

        • King Tightarse on 25/03/2012 - 22:33

          Any device/any batteries.
          Many devices originally designed for standard AA/AAA batteries use voltage drop to determine a dead or failing battery and that may be "looking" for a higher voltage than would truly indicate a depleted rechargable.
          All NiMh rechargeables produce ~1.25v max as opposed to the 1.5v+ that standard Alkaline and Zinc-Carbon batteries produce when fresh.
          The small difference is enough to confuse the issue.
          That and crappy design!

    Please be aware that this may be old eneloop stock. I don't think it would really matter for most consumers, but I think it would be good to know what you're buying, just in case. Still a good deal, I think.

    "The original eneloops were introduced in AA and AAA size, with capacities of 2000 mAh and 800 mAh. They were rechargeable 1000 times and held up to 75% of their charge after one year. Sanyo later improved them to be rechargeable 1500 times, along with switching to renewable energies for pre-charging.[further explanation needed] This revision holds 85% of the charge after one year and 75% after three years.[2] The two revisions can be distinguished by the design of the label: They now state the minimum instead of the typical capacity, 1900 mAh and 750 mAh. The new revision also has a crown printed on the label. The new type numbers are HR-3UTGA (AA) and HR-4UTGA (AAA).

    In October 2011 the batteries were again improved to hold their charge for up to 90% after one year, 80% after 3 years and 70% after five years. In addition to the lower self-discharge rate, the batteries can be recharged up to 1800 times compared to 1500 times in the previous revision. The product numbers for these batteries are HR-3UTGB (AA) and HR-4UTGB (AAA). At the same time, the C and D sized eneloops stated minimum capacity were increased to 3000 mAh and 5700 mAh respectively. They were available in Japan from November 2011.[4]" - Wiki

      Umm, I don't know where they got that info from but when we first started buying eneloop batteries, they came nowhere near 2000mAh. The best that was available at the time was 1600 mAh. If I dug around deep enough I could possibly still find them.

    What is the difference between Eneloop battery and a normal battery?

  • dy4me on 25/03/2012 - 16:24

      Actually, your offering is still grammatically incorrect. Are you illiterate as well? :p

  • mrfluffy on 25/03/2012 - 17:07

    Didn't think i would ever buy Eneloops, but i think peer group influence got the better of me. : )
    Not bad $33.95 for 4 AA's, 4 AAA's and a charger.

    • AlexF on 25/03/2012 - 18:27

      Where do your non-rechargeable batteries go once you've discharged them once? Your backyard, I hope.

    • Geewhizz on 25/03/2012 - 20:17

      unless you does lots of batteries no need to use rechargable lei.

      There are these newfangled things called digital cameras - they tend to chew through a bit of battery power.

      • illusionarybreeze on 25/03/2012 - 22:20

        Do digital cameras still use regular AA/AAAs? Thought they were all on those slim proprietary batteries these days.

        • lucksmith on 25/03/2012 - 23:51

          external camera flashes still use AA's, I think

          Most if not all high end model cameras now have gone the proprietary way… which sucks balls. But the cheap point and shoot are using AA…

        • [Deactivated] on 27/03/2012 - 04:41

          The largish Fuji model always listed in the BigW & Kmart catalogues uses AAs. There's a Canon or two, too I believe. There's others too, but Fuji make great cameras so I stopped looking at that point. In fact I won't buy a camera that doesn't use them if I can help it.

          I tried to raise a dispute by going thru the paypal process, but it says this type of transaction is not one where a dispute can be raised (I assume because it was not an ebay purchase?)
          Anyone know something I don't in getting Paypal to do something?

      Last time they told me they were overwhelmed with the response. (I emailed them about it.) I didn't get my AAAs for about three weeks I think. But they did eventually arrive.

      Pity they didn't give you the benefit of the doubt and refund.

    This charger MAY be a dumb charger, and there is of course always better ones out there. But when eneloops were still a fairly new product, the cells and this charger got a rave write up in an electronics magazine - and it was referred to as a smart charger at that time. Quite some time after that I bought 4x AAs with this charger (or one that looks identical to it) from Tandy in Sep 2008 for my digital camera. My mother bought the same camera and charger/batteries as well.

    In July 2009 I bought two more of the same bundle. Four cells go in the camera. Eight more into our salt & pepper grinders. We use them all until they're dead flat, recharge, and remove from the 240V power point as soon as they're recharged. Maybe that has something to do with their longevity, who knows. But all of them are still going strong today.

    That's 43 months (or about 3.5 years) for the first set, and 33 months (or about 3 years) for the 2nd & 3rd. They don't always remain in the same device either - not that it matters - because as I said, they're all still working fine.

    Am I arguing with other people above and saying it's a great charger? No. But I am saying I haven't seen any evidence it's a bad one either.
