A quality charger is a good investment. I have eneloops several years old that still perform well using the Maha C-9000.

I don't get why the Eneloops are so popular especially given the 6500 pops thread linked to on the second post. OK so they are the best if you want to charge them and have them sit in your camera bag a month unused- not important to me because I use my camera enough to not have that happen. However they get pretty weak scores on recycle time and longevity under use.
