Will the MH-C800S charge Sanyo Eneloop batteries?

Thoses are the only batteries I have ever charged with it. Works wonderfully.

I've used it to charge many different types of ni-cads and and ni-mh's. Seems to work very well. I have a few eneloop 1900 mah and they charge well. I have not had a lot of luck with the eneloop lasting very long since they are only 1.9amp so have changed to other larger amperage batteries. Energizer 2.3 and Precision 2.9amp. But the charger seems to handle all of them.

I have been using this charger on Eneloop batteries for the past year. I have stopped using the Eneloops on critical items because they have a low charge protect circuit built in each battery. They shut down abruptly with little warning instead of getting gradually weaker as they discharge. I still use them for music players and game toys.The MH-C800S charger works as advertised and I really appreciate it giving a charge status on each battery.

Sounds like you bought one of those Costco packages and found out how horrible those Sanyo chargers are! Mine is a nightmare...batteries that constantly pop out and those foldaway prongs...arrrrgh!
1810816
Yes... I'm using both AA and AAA Sanyo Eneloop batteries and it does a fine job.
1810817
Yes absolutely. I use it to charge them and have not had a battery go bad yet.
1810818
Yes, it will. It can charge nickel metal hydride cells with a nominal voltage of 1.2 V. My family has used it to charge Eneloops with no problems, and I know many people who do the same.

You can get four rechargable AA Eneloop batteries and charger by GE/Sanyo that last six months on a single charge. If Amazon doesn't have them they are at Wolf Camera or Wal-Mart Sally Ann B.

Yes, Panasonic acquired a controlling interest in Sanyo in 2009, before even the second generation Eneloop batteries were released. Panasonic branded Eneloop batteries are for all intents and purposes Sanyo batteries, and vice versa, although it should be noted that the Panasonic Eneloops are functionally 4th generation Eneloop batteries, and are liable to have slightly better performance than Sanyo branded batteries. When in doubt, check the model number on the cells. Those labelled HR-XXXX are earlier 'Sanyo' models. Those labelled BK-XXXX are more recent Panasonic models. Mind the Pro and Lite varieties. They more specialized variants that may or may not suit your needs better.

The Sanyo "low leakage" Eneloops will work in this charger, but a lower current unit (around 200 or 250 mA) will result in a longer total life (more charge/discharge cycles). This Sony does heat up the batteries which will reduce their ultimate life. I have (12) AA Eneloops that I use in Canon 580EX flash heads (very high high peak discharge current) and they seem to be holding up much better than other brands using the LaCrosse BC-900 charger set to 200mA. The Sanyo capacity when new was around 2100 mAH, but has not dropped off as other (higher initial capacity) batteries (LaCrosse and Eveready) have with heavy use.

That energizer charger will charge your batteries at too high a rate and reduce both the life and number of cycles of your batteries. The Panasonic charger that is often sold with these batteries will charge your eneloops at the correct rate recommended by both Sanyo and Panasonic engineers to optimize the life of your batteries, (300mA for AA and 150mA for AAA).

From what I have seen on the internet this unit will blink if it detects a problem with the battery inserted. I presume you are not charging an eneloop battery. It apparently does not like batteries that have been discharged stone cold dead, which in that case you may try charging that battery in one of your older chargers that are not smart for awhile and then this charger may accept the battery. I also saw on the i-net that it did not like some particular brands of batteries.

Sorry for the first "short" answer. These batteries are so crappy that the best charger in the world won't do better to make up for their less than advertised capacity (in my experience) and poor performance in a small digital camera. If your going to spend more money get eneloops.

yes. i have both eneloop and la crosse tech rechargable batteries and it works for both.

I use the Sanyo eneloop Ni-MH AA rechargeable batteries with the C-adapters. I have researched the batteries and have found these to be some of the best! I bought the AA batteries and the C adapters thru Amazon and I have had no issues with this set-up.

The problem is that most likely the phone charger is a dumb straight, non terminating charger that is completely overcharging the eneloops. I really am annoyed at Panasonic for doing something in their phones such that a completed charged set of eneloops will show up as need to be charged. Stupid. I want to charge my eneloops in my own smart charger, not the dumb phone cradle chargers.

Yes, I have used this charger to charge two AAA Panasonic 800mAh batteries without problem.
1857822
Yes it does. I am using Eneloop batteries and am quite happy with them and the charger.

I use eneloop rechargeable batteries and recharge them in their own charger.

It charges AAA Eneloop and AA Energizer cells successfully. I don't know about any other brands.

Yes. I use Eneloop batts, and they work perfectly. The unit has a setting for battery type (NiHM, alkaline, or lithium) which calibrates the built-in battery level indicator.

I haven't seen the information that you are talking about, but if you Google AA 18650 eneloop, what comes up is a Sanyo battery charger, that will charge AAA and AA batteries.Simon recommends that you use rechargeable batteries, and that particular brand is supposed to discharge slowly (an issue with rechargeable batteries is that they discharge even when not being used). So I would assume that they are recommending a particular brand of rechargeable battery, rather than saying you can use an AA battery.

Absolutely. The AmazonBasic (white) pre-charged NiMH cells are identical to the Sanyo eneloop cells electrically, so the charger won't know the difference. In fact, you can use any good-quality 'smart' charger designed for NiMH cells to recharge any brands of NiMH cells. Battery manufacturers always tell you to use only their own brand of charger - for obvious reason. One inexpensive but Smart charger I often recommend is the Sony Cycle Energy BCG34HLD. It can recharge each cell individually, which is much better than the Sanyo MQN06 charger and AmazonBasics NiMH Charger
