Overview: All Eneloop batteries 2005-2024

1. No. Just put it on the charger, and it’ll charge it. Unless it’s a HV li-ion cell(4,35V) or LiFePO4, it’s just plug and play.

2. Charges at default at 500mA. Charging it slightly faster at say 750mA for AAs, and 500mA for AAAs is recommended, as it helps the charger find the right time to stop discharge when the cell is almost completely full.

It’s a really nice charger, especially for casuals. I’ve been using it for 3 years as said before, and it hasn’t let me down. That is one advantage of being a low power charger: passive cooling is juust fine, and will never heat up the cells on its own.

I also bought multiple units for some friends, and nobody has come to me for advice, other than setting the charge rate for 1st time use.

Ok, sounds like a must buy then thanks for the help I charged once my AA's with a VC4 and it really cooked them, so I've been hesitant since then.

No.

It still exists:

Thanks, just found it at the 133859 store. That link you have, isn't that the 217753 store that was selling the fake batteries?

No.

All of the Liitokala stores sell fake 18650 cells. I’ve verified it.

They do not sell fake chargers though. I’ve bought all of my Li-402s from them, and no issues.

The CC17 is about $17 in the US, and if you buy 4, it could save you on shipping!

Announcement:

The Eneloop101.com website has been moved to a new server. Everything should be working again. If you still have trouble somehow, please let me know ASAP.

According to some tests, it knocks off about 20% of loading time in the US, and about 40-50% in Australia.. everything should be a little faster, especially on mobile.

What's wrong with Amazon.com?
I received an email from a reader that the links on eneloop101.com to Amazon don't work anymore, and he was right! Almost all eneloops are gone from Amazon.com

I'm curious what happened.

I have my own theory though.. if anyone is interested.

A few months ago I noticed some limited Amazon eneloops on Amazon.co.jp (Japan). I don't know if they are photoshopped or if the regular eneloops really have black letters instead of blue. The listing shows that they are Amazon.co.jp limited editions...

So maybe Amazon.com wants to have THEIR marketshare in Eneloops as well! OR they want to only promote Amazon NiMH batteries.. who knows.. would personally think its the former reason.

Seems they changed the lineup but still plenty of eneloops. Don’t understand what you’re trying to say.

Somehow they are all back in stock again! Not sure why this happened... kind of odd

Noticed eBay has eneloop lites for reasonable prices shipped from lithuania. Think they are legit? I like the idea of lower capacity that’s why I use rayovac aaa instead of eneloop mostly.

Do you have a link?

Just type in eneloop lite in eBay and bunch will show up in the USA at least.

Also have aaa. Hope link works.

Yes, that looks like a legit seller from Lithuania. Premiumpleasure.

Hmmmm…. I wonder what kind of stuff they are selling the batteries for?

ordered some of the aaa lites. Now to see how long it takes to ship from Lithuania. After 3000 cycles will give my opinion of them in about 40 years.
