Hi guys, as per forum post title.
Just recently bought Eneloops since I needed batteries at home, but have read a few forum posts and deals in which commenters were talking about the significance of good smart chargers for rechargeable batteries.
Although that being said, I am not looking to spend an extravagant amount, just want something very 'beginner friendly' and will not harmful for the batteries.
Thanks!
+1 for Nitecore D4. Don't know if it's the best, but it continues to work well for me 3 years down the track.
Mine's being going since 2017!
Liitokala 500s. Fairly cheap, has some useful features like the ability to choose the charging current for each of your cells and a test function which can measure real capacity of your batteries
Liitokalas are cheap but good.
Okay looks good, should I just purchase it from Aliexpress then? Can't find it anywhere else without ridiculous shipping. Does it also work for other battery forms other than AA?
I've had a zanflare c4 for a 3+ years and it's been AOK
pretty sure it was only about $25 back then though
i think I chose because of the 4x1000 charging rate

I used to use the MAHA C9000, meant to be the king of chargers. I lost it after a breakup, so now I just use the el cheapo Eneloop dumb charger and it seems to work just as good.
If you believe the hype, Ikea Laddas are rebranded Eneloops. I bought Eneloops more than 10 years ago. Lost the charger. Bought some Laddas more than 5 years ago with an Ikea charger. Now use that charger to charge both. Works for me.
I have a Nitecore D4.
