Again the eneloop 17 is not even advertised as a smart charger. It uses time as a terminator. Only the 16 above it is a smart charger according to Panasonic. No smart charger=no thanks.
Having just spent some additional hours researching, HKJ tested the Basen S2 and it almost came out on top but it seems the Nitecore D2/D4 might take first place for us.
It is pretty frustrating that Panasonic has no page for their chargers except the three on the eneloop page. Panasonic makes several other chargers but scattered all over the place and not even searchable or findable on their own website.
The Sony's were looked at as well (not that they were all on the same page either).
