I've been using Eneloop batteries for over 5 years now and have never had an issue with them. They hold a good long charge in low-power devices such as TV and Wii remotes and mice. They also hold a lot of juice for more power-demanding devices such as small RC cars, LED flashlights, LEGO motor battery packs, and even active noise cancelling pilot headsets.The batteries are robust and last a long time. They handle heat and cold well. Note that extreme cold will reduce the capacity until the battery is warmed up again. They are relatively heavy, but that's standard for a NiMH battery.The charger is also great. It plugs nicely into the wall socket with foldable prongs. The charging is quick and foolproof. I like that it can individually charge one battery at a time, something that not a lot of chargers do.Note that NiMH rechargeable batteries do have a lower voltage than non-rechargeable batteries. This means that for devices that monitor the battery percentage might show a lower percent than what the battery is at due to its lower voltage.Batteries work great and hold a charge for a long time. Fan of these Eneloop batteries. The charger unit is good. Only charges four batteries at a time. Charger seems to work good. Would prefer a charger that is larger for more batteries to charge at same time. I put a rubber band around the batteries while in charger to keep them in place so they cannot easily fall out. Overall happy with purchase.Handy to just recharge the batteries than constantly buying new batteries.My kittens live a particular toy, a little tank with a laser pointer on it, and go through three AAA batteries in three days from constant play.Only took me two months to figure I could save money with rechargeable batteriesYay, me!These batteries work great, charge fast (IMHO), and I bought enough to cover cat toys and a few other hinges in the apartment.Plus, I’m helping the environment (god knows what used batteries do to the ecology) while saving money!This battery pack is definitely worth the price. I spent a lot of time researching which battery pack to get and am glad I got this pack. It worked out to be worth it over the Amazon Basics rechargable batteries when the charger was included in the cost.I use the batteries as a battery pack for a robot and for my Nikon SB-700 flash. They are able to easily keep up. It was able to do twenty full power flashes (1/1) in 18.17 seconds, so recycle time wasn't a problem as most of the time the flash is used at less power. It was able to keep up fully with my Nikon D7100 on continuous high shooting RAW when the flash power was 1/16.Pros:The charger charges each battery IndividuallyThe charger shuts off charging individually when a battery is fully chargedSaves money in the long termQuick charge feature enables the charger to charge 1 to 2 batteries in an hour and a half or 4 in three hoursThe quick charger's time to charge a battery is a good compromise between charging the battery quickly and maintaining battery integrityEasily able to keep up with flash under most circumstancesCons:Waiting for a battery to charge is never fun (but it is pretty short on this unit)The yellow LED's can look similar to the green LED's, until you have seen both and know what they look likeOverall:I would definitely recommend getting this eneloop pack. The battery charger is the best one currently available and eneloop is well known and respected for making quality batteries.If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll make sure to replyPlease click Yes if this review was helpful!I had an old Maha MH-C9000 that I picked up on a friend's recommendation. It worked ok, but never seemed to be quite as smart as it was supposed to be. I particularly noticed it had a tendency to happily overcharge batteries with no end. I usually let it go overnight and when it started pumping in all the way past *double* the rated capacity of the used rechargables I had, that was it.I read around for a replacement and found that just about all of the chargers available on Amazon had been reviewed (very thoroughly) by "NLee the Engineer." It was very helpful that one person had reviewed and compared all of them in great detail. After reading about several models, I opted to go for something dirt simple this time around. My old charger had lots of different modes and charging rates available, but I found it more of a hassle than anything else. Especially when it didn't work. This charger has individual colored LEDs for each slot, which is all I really need. Red is low charged, amber is in the middle, and green is nearly fully charged. The green light goes out after a while when it stops charging, and a few other blinking states can tell you when the batteries have given up the ghost. Simple, and so much easier than having to select charging modes and rates every time. Works great so far, and this set including a bunch of high quality AA and AAA low-self-discharge rechargeables is priced such that it's a much, much better value than just buying the bare charger, assuming you can also use some (more) rechargable batteries.I will have to remember to update this review. The batteries look great and charged well but only time will tell if their quality is what they say. I am hopeful these batteries will last. So today is July 21, 2022 and I have been using the batteries religiously and they are worth the cost. They last as long as a standard battery, charge quickly and can be used over and over. Like them so much I bought more only because of all the TV remotes battery operated lights and so forth. I recommend themI was hesitant to buy rechargeable batteries because I haven’t had great luck in the past. I’m pleasantly surprised by this set. The charger charges quickly, has a great indicator letting you know the life of each battery. The batteries themselves last a long time, I use them for a pump everyday several hours and they last days and charge within 1-2 hours. Would definitely purchase again.Son una compra muy buena si tienes en cuenta la relación calidad-precio. El cargador funciona tal cual se explica, lo que lo hace muy práctico para optimizar la carga de las baterías. El número de baterías que incluye este paquete es excelente si consideras lo que costarían por separado. La presentación es amigable con el planeta.Tous les avantage mentionné semble être exacte... sauf que, le chargeur indique que certaine piles que j'avais déjà et qui ont quelques années sont à remplacer. Le problème c'est que ce chargeur Panasonic ne les charge alors pas, mais mon vieux chargeur lui peut encore les charger et elles sont encore utilisable. Le désavantage de mes vieux chargeur, c'est qu'ils n'est pas possible de charger une seule pile à la fois. Donc ce chargeur va amener des personnes à jeter des piles encore utilisable...Después de haberlas usado de más de un año me atrevo a decir que son las mejores baterías recargables del mercado, su cargador es una maravilla en 3 horas se recargan completamente mientras que el cargador duracell carga por completo en 8 horas. Las volvería a comprar sin duda alguna.Si necesitas pilas recargables, éstas son las únicas en las que puedes pensar. No me pagan por esto solo soy un consumidor que compró Duracell recargables y otras marcas "famosas" con un costo alto y obtuve basura por mi dinero ya que dejaban de mantener la carga o marcaban error a la 4 recarga.Panasonic es calidad en pilas recargables.I like the compactness of this charger and the fact that it will charge both AA &AAA batteries, also it is nice that the plug prongs fold away when not in use. But also be aware that it does not charge all Panasonic NiMH batteries. I’ve found that it only charges my Panasonic eneloop batteries and not my other Panasonic NiMH batteries
