Charger for Eneloop

[rkersh409]

I was wondering what kind of chargers everyone uses for their AAA Eneloops? I read that the La Crosse chargers are pretty good, but a little more then I would like to spend on a charger. Just wondering if there is something else that will charge 4 AAA at one time?

I like the Maha C9000 charger myself. Works well with the batts that i have.

I use the Maha C9000 and C800S chargers for AA/AAA cells.

Both cost more than the LaCrosse charger though.

I just use the Eneloop charger.

I use the La Crosse BC-900 charger for my Sanyo Eneloops. Go ahead, it's only money:thumbsup:

I use a C9000 mostly. I sometimes use an Energizer Family Charger also when I have a lot of batteries that need charging at the same time. And I use the white Eneloop charger that came with the kits from Costco when I'm traveling.

the one-LED Eneloop charger with a white opaque cover is a 4-bay smart charger. Later, two-LED revisions are dumb chargers, requiring batteries be used in matched pairs.

I use a LaCrosse BC900 scored for $40ish on sale. They can be had for cheap, if you look carefully.

I use a Maha C204W for $40 that has no wall wart and accepts a variety of input voltages for use while travelling. The C204W is similar to the C204FA, but the C204FA is cheaper at only about $26. Like the C204W, it cannot charge just one battery at a time: you have to charge them in pairs. I like it because it charges quickly and packs more charge into the cells than other chargers in that time. Most chargers need overnight to trickle charge the cells to pack that much energy into the batteries. This charger also has a battery conditioning mode to bring capacity back to old cells.

For around $20 you could get the Maha 204GT. It takes 3-4 hours to charge, but similar to the two chargers I mentioned above, it attains a more complete charge compared to other chargers without waiting overnight. It also charges only pairs of cells.
