I'm using a regular 4-up Duracell 15 minute unit, which has a little fan in it to avoid overheating on the charging side. (That's why Nikon had all the beefs about their units, especially the old 900, cutting off because of overheating.)Īs far as I know they can be recharged with any good charger.

If you haven't used hydride batteries in the past, though, you should know that they store a hell of a lot of electricity, which is a good thing, but something to keep in mind if you're going to try 30 full power shots at high speed. I use them with my SB-800s all the time, and I don't see any reason to not use them with a 910. No other type of hydride battery has lasted me nearly as long. I will only add that I have had the same dozen or so Eneloops for at least six years and they just won't quit. Fast charging and fast shooting make them hot, and I believe switching from fast shooting to fast charging, and vice versa, puts the most strain on their health and happiness. I don't know this for a fact, but I THINK batteries last longer the cooler they can stay. Try to wait a little while, too, if they're hot out of the flash before you charge them. In fact, it will keep running for a while after the it shows the batteries as charged. I try to always make sure the batteries are cool before I transfer them from charger to flash. I only use the batteries about once a week, and rarely drain them completely, so I might not be the best judge. When I first bought these batteries I thought they could only be safely charged with the very slow charger that came with them, but I have used a Duracell 15 minute charger now for several years and don't see any ill effects. See the above details for more info.Yes, I believe so.

Panasonic BQ-CC65: This one is the most advanced charger Panasonic has put forth to this date.

It can be tricky using older non-Eneloop batteries with higher internal resistance. See the charger info for a link to reviews.

Panasonic BQ-CC55: with a word of caution.

Note: some people said their AAA batteries didn't fit well, so make sure this doesn't apply to your charger, by testing it right away.

Panasonic BQ-CC17: available worldwide.

Sanyo NC-MQR06: also an older charger but liked by many battery enthusiasts back in the day, and is still considered a good second-hand charger.

Unfortunately mainly available in Japan second-hand. A fairly fast charger and international voltage range.

Sanyo NC-MR58: a specially designed charger with battery check and refresh functionality.

The following list contains the best Eneloop Chargers currently available (and from the past). And while most of them were available in combination with Eneloop batteries they are not always recommended. Since Sanyo introduced Eneloop in 2005 they have put many chargers to the market.

The BQ-CC55 is sometimes referred to as the Eneloop PRO charger because it`s sold with Eneloop PRO batteries and sometimes with standard batteries in a set. And I don't think these 2 chargers are the same. There is also another BQ-CC55, without the multi-colored LEDs. It can also detect if a battery is in bad shape. It can detect if the battery is rechargeable or not.
