Go to newegg and search for "fujitsu batteries" I grabbed a 4 ($7.99) and 12 pack ($25.00) of AA 2000mha, and one 4 pack of the 2550 "pro" This is a nice deal! fyi these are the real deal eneloops made in the one and only eneloop factory in Japan. If you see some deals with shipping charges, just include an item without shipping. When I did that all shipping went away. pinolero newbie wrote in post #18312158 Thanks for posting. Picked up two of the 2550's and two of the 2000's. Picked up 2 hi-cap blacks AA and 2 regular whites AA also. Made in Japan. Free shipping to boot for eligible items over $25. Thanks Jake. | Canon EOS Systems |

RhodyPhotos Two all the way and a coffee milk. More info | Apr 03, 2017 06:42 | #5 Is it ok to charge these on a generic charger? I currently use rayovac batteries and have a charger for that. Or is it advisable to get a charger as well? CC always welcome.

RhodyPhotos Two all the way and a coffee milk. More info Post edited over 6 years ago by RhodyPhotos. | Thank you, that makes sense. No point being penny-wise pound-foolish. The charger is just $12 extra - $14 for the smart charger CC always welcome.

I currently use rayovac batteries and have a charger for that. Or is it advisable to get a charger as well? Thanks I can't speak to your direct question, but can provide my own 'charger' experience. I have a new Panasonic Ni-MH charger that came with an 8-pack of Eneloops: output is 1.5V, 300mA. I have an old Panasonic Ni-MH 'Quick-Charger': output is 1.5V, 550mA. I primarily use the new one, but if I need 8 batteries charged and don't have time to wait, I use the old one also. I've never noticed a difference.

But then if you only want to buy 12 AA batteries, your $24 purchase still does not qualify you for free shipping! You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!

I suppose I am forfeiting a bit of battery life every time I use the old charger. I have 20 Eneloops, and don't use the old one often. Eneloops are cheap. I don't worry about them.
Per Battery University on the topic of NiMH charging "It is difficult, if not impossible, to slow charge a NiMH battery. At a C rate of 0.1C to 0.3C, the voltage and temperature profiles do not exhibit defined characteristics to trigger full-charge detection, and the charger must depend on a timer. Harmful overcharge can occur when charging partially or fully charged batteries, even if the battery remains cold.... If you want to improve battery performance with a low-cost charger, estimate the battery state-of-charge and set the charge time accordingly. Remove the batteries when presumed full." You can apply an initial fast charge rate of 1.0C and then drop to trickle rate of 0.05C (the 0.1C trickle rate of NiCd is not good for NiMH).
It looks like the supplied chargers for both your old and new Panasonic purchases are designed to eventually cause battery life reduction, and repurchase of new battery sets. What is better is to charge at an intial higher rate (up to 1C) and monitor Voltage and Temperature, and drop current to 0.1C for final top off, then drop to a 0.05C rate....use of a 'smart charger'.
