Batteries and Chargers Chargers

Hi

I have a new eneloops charger from Japan with a 2 pin connection .

At home I have a shaver unit which says both 240v & 110v and the charger fits fine in the 110v slots fine & trying to fit it into 240v slots just can’t happen as the design is different.
I was looking to buy a 2 to 3 pin plug to follow the UK 240v.

Is it ok to to charge using 110v as the shaver unit allows and as the charger says?.
Would the charging times be different ?.

How long should the charge take for say 2 batteries?…2 hours?.
These are eneloop pro xx’s if it helps.

What difference does 110v make to 240v ?.

Thank you kindly.

Thanks…its says SANYO NC-TGR02.
Its got eneloop writing on it too.
This was purchased from someone in Japan selling these over on cpfmp.

Hope this all helps…
By the way I charged the xx pros at 9PM and by 1130PM the green light was off.
So maybe it takes just around 120+ mins and the light goes off.

Thanks.

110V will probably not kill you while 240V will definitely kill you :wink:

Ah, I like that model, it has the curved cutaway. It’s pretty common now to have 100-240V operation for compatibility. You can get fused US/Euro travel adaptors on Amazon so you can use it in a UK socket:

Big thanks.
What’s curved cutaway?.

Is there a link with info to this charger ?.

the light seemed to go off after some 120+ mins.
i thought many said these chargers lights stay on for like 16 hours regardless.

not sure if they charged properly.

thanks…xx

Have you read the text and specs on that page Chloe? I’m having a dispute with a seller at the moment because he said £0.01 and free shipping, when you order the shipping goes up to £4.70, I know I’ll not get anywhere but if it’s not a scam then they are idiots.

Thanks but the charging pins on this charger are straight and only fits into the 110v socket .
The 240v socket has like slight slanted slots.
Not sure if that amazon one would accept this charger.
Picture looks like its got slanted slots.

So not sure where to get a UK plug that will accept this…
Hope this makes sense lol……

Thanks.

The SANYO NC-TGR02 is a rapid charger, the real charging time depends of course on how empty they are. The charging current is often written on a label so you can determine how long a fully discharged cell will be charged.
It makes no differences if you use 110V or 230V, the internal electronics transforms it to just a few volt anyway.

The curved cutaway in the case, so you can access both sides of the cell to remove:

Here is a product sheet:

Sorry to hear that. I do not know which of the sellers are reputable. It probably doesn’t help that Amazon tend to change the seller for a product url too. >.<

much kind thanks.

Zebrastripes/NeutralW ;)

you mean this one: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/21771?page=1#comment-515156 ?

110-240 , so no problem to charge with 240V

Charging time for AA eneloops is 230 minutes... you can do the math.

That is when the cells are fully depleted before charging.

if they are somehow empty, but not totally, it would be less than 230 minutes.
