Will this RadioShack charger, charge eneloops?

I just purchased a Fenix LD41… I already have this charger that came with 1.2v 2100 mAh batteries but was looking to buy these batteries… Amazon.com

Is my charger capable of charging these?

Yes.

Thank you for the reply

Could you recommend better eneloop batteries that will work with my charger?

4

It chargers in pairs, that’s not good. Get a better one.

5

The flashlight I will use takes 4x AA… So I will be charging 4 at a time always…

6

Those Eneloop are fine. (2000 mAh)
You could try the Enloop XXX (2500 mAh)…more expensive.
It’s up to you.

Thank you…

One more question. Regular non-rechargable batteries are 1.5v and rechargeables are 1.2v… Will using eneloops @ 1.2v reduce the output noticeably?

8

No. The output with NiMh will stay constant until they are almost drained, whereas alkalines will slowly dim as they run down.

Thank you Ouchy. I will buy those and use the charger I already own. I appreciate your help.

Depends. It will quite likely increase the output, since NiMH maintains its voltage much better under current draw, as well as maintaining a more stable voltage as it discharges (below half-full or so for each, NiMH actually has higher voltage than alkaline!).
