Yes, no worries. The basic Eneloop charger will do them no harm.

Yes! Somewhere in this sub-forum, there is a post from a user who had 5 year old unused Eneloops that still had something like half charge in them.
They do best if you can do a refresh cycle on them, but they should still work fine.

2-3 years is a rather short sleep for eneloops 
Here is a test result of 10-year old eneloops, right out of the package!

The charger will do fine. You can always save up for a few months for an analyzing charger.

NiMh are a lot different than Li-Ion. Nothing wrong with at least trying on the NiMh. If you're charger doesn't recognize them because they might be near 0V, then outside the charger, place another battery in parallel with it to move some charge over to the depleted cell. Then it will pop right up high enough for the charger to recognize that something is in the cradle and start charging.

You're good to go - just put them in the charger, let them charge, and then use them like you just bought them :twothumbs
If you have already tried this, how did it turn out?
