eneloop battery charger question

[Dan FO]

I have the regular (4) battery charger that comes with the eneloop set. Can I charge just one battery at a time or must they be charged in pairs or (3) batteries instead of (4)? I guess what I am asking is, can you charge odd numbers of batteries at the same time or will it hurt the battery/charger?

Thanks,

Dan

You can charge one batt at a time if you wish.

You can charge one batt at a time if you wish.

Or not. Some eneloop chargers can only charge batteries in pairs. You need to give the model number of the charger you have.

Thanks for correcting me....i did'nt know that. The one that i have you can charge one cell at a time if you wish, mines model number nc-mqn05u.

#NC-MQN06 is the number of the charger.

Please delete......so confused.

#NC-MQN06 is the number of the charger.

This is the model # on my charger, it appears yours is different.

According to Turak's info here on CPF: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=182030 You can only charge in pairs.

Pairs only, of like discharged cells.

 

[Mr Happy]

So it is. The MQN06 has worldwide voltage but can only charge in pairs. The MQN05 can charge batteries individually but does not have worldwide voltage.

Looks like I need 1 AA eneloop.

You don't need an Eneloop charger. Any independent channel smart charger will work just fine.

I use the Duracell CEF23DX4N 'Mobile Charger'. It's AC/DC operation, 4 independent charge slots, charges USB devices (either plugged in or using 4 AA's still in the slots), automatic charge shut-off, and really portable. It's a nice little charger for the money and will work just fine with eneloops.

Cheers !

Thank you for the advice! I bought the CEF23DX4N and it's just what I wanted, perfect. The batteries that came with it are rebranded eneloops made in Japan and there was a $3.00 instant rebate on the package. :twothumbs

Try this one ... plugs directly into wall recept. Not a "fast" charger, but will do one or two cells. I've got two of 'em and they work fine.

What is the model number of the Eneloop charger that will charge each cell separately?

EDIT: Rephrase: is there a four-cell Eneloop charger that will charge each cell separately?

You want the one on the right.

 

[deusexaethera]

Yeah, I saw that. When I did a search for the part number, it didn't come up with anything.

Of course, Amazon isn't the only store on the Internet, so...

I think that one only has one channel, if it was a dual channel it would have a LED for each battery I believe. I think that charger is only meant to charge in pairs.
