HR-3UTGB ought to be enough bro

ever since Sanyo been gobbled up by Matsushita, the latter have been re-branding the products.

the Pro version only seem to be a step in that direction.

as it is HR-3UTGB are third generation and are good enough.

The Panasonic Pro, may carry more mojo as it may, but has much much less recharge cycles.

so you can decide on those factors.

Both seem to retain similar charge after factory shipment. The Pro have not enough empirical data, so it is difficult to answer your query: I want to know which one will last long.

3rd Generation Eneloops have been around 3/4 years, while The Panasonic re-branded Pro’s were launched last year only.

I used my Eneloop regulars (HR- 3UTGA) for 4 years, charging about twice weekly. Out of four, two died of physical abuse (dents from repeated dropping on the ground etc), two are going strong, the capacity doesn’t seem to have dropped significantly.

This time, in the ebay 500 off 1000 sale I got Eneloop pros (BK- 3HCCE). It’s too early to comment on their longevity, but the capacity increase is significant. For an equal price I’d go with the pros, since 1500 cycles isn’t a figure I care much about.

If you’re planning to charge – discharge daily, you might think about the 1500 cycle advantage, otherwise don’t sweat it out too much, go with the pros.

I’ve been using the NC- MQR06W Sanyo Eneloop smart charger that came with my original eneloops, it’s great. All four slots allow charging single individual cells, and cells at different States of charge or different capacities can be charged simultaneously. It also supports charging two cells at double speed and a single cell at triple speed.
And most importantly, it shuts down charging depending on the state of charge, rather than dumb chargers that either shut off charging after a set time or keep trickle charging continuously.

And it has lasted longer than the cells that it came with toungueout

Sony has really good smart chargers too.
Here’s an old smart charger top ten list. Ignore the exotic firangi models, just check out the additional features that you can use while comparing chargers.

I am looking for rechargable cells for Black & Decker Screwdriver , can you guys think these eneloop can handle it ? As of now i am using envie rechargable cells which are of 1.2 volt which give up very fast , black & decker recommanded 1.5 volt cells to be used . Also is eneloop is more in size than normal cells ? As in some review i found rechargable cells won’t go in black decker screwdriver but my envie are of same size as normal cell so no issue .

All Nickel Metal Hydride or Nickel Cadmium cells are 1.2V
This includes all brands of rechargeable AA cells. (Except Li- ion 14500 cells, but that’s an entirely different cell, which only resembles AA cells in size)
1.5V is the nominal voltage for Alkaline and Zinc carbon cells (non rechargeable Duracell and plain vanilla eveready etc)

And yes, all rechargeable and non rechargeable AA cells are exactly identical in dimensions.

If your envie cells are giving up too fast, it’s probably because they’re

  • not enough capacity
  • not actually of advertised capacity
  • have lost capacity due to age
  • are self discharging during storage

You could try a better brand and higher capacity cells, eneloops seem overkill for a screwdriver though toungueout

@Mr_N; any idea if one wants to pick NC-MQR06W up, where do do so?

I suppose these might be good to go for the Kodaks.
Presently K6000 charger serves okay, though I am unsure if the Eneloop charger is correct match.

have some of the older KAA2HR 1.2V, as also the 2500mAh from Kodak and those Sony B2EN of AA size.
Kodaks were the most cost effective back then from a retail shop.


and I suppose @Goldi might be right if he is talking about the 7073 B&D.
Those aren’t really the best from B&D and were sold for a pittance on most places http://www.desidime.com/forums/hot-deals-online…

He may be referring to Vishki’s review of 7073 from earlier this year on youtube, watch it somewhere around 4minutes into the video and yes those Eneloops did seem chunkier than the mould was designed to permit.

Houston, we have a problem. Eneloop chargers seem to be sold only with bundled cells, not alone. And the charger with bundled Eneloop pros I couldn’t find locally with a quick search sad
http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-K-KJ17KHCA4A-In...

This one comes with Eneloop xx cells, Sanyo’s first gen high capacity eneloops (before the brand was taken over by Panasonic) http://www.flipkart.com/sanyo-eneloop-bc-kjr6w2...

I think my MQR06W (bundled with second gen eneloops) has been discontinued long ago, my roommate in college got a set of regular eneloops (third gen) with a different charger 3 years ago.

A smart charger, if not bundled with the eneloops, might go out of op’s budget.
I think JJmehta used to stock all variants of eneloops, but their website draws a blank on searching. (I got my old eneloops and charger from their Dadar shop BTW)

The kodak K6000 seems to be a good charger at first glance, I’m not sure why you want to switch to an Eneloop charger. A true upgrade might be a lacrosse or Maha charger toungueout (out of op’s budget again, and this time by a massive margin lol )


About the Black and Decker screwdriver, just saw Vishki’s video, it’s surprising how the eneloops didn’t fit in there, this is the first time I’ve heard of size compatibility issues with Eneloops. Google does show a few devices where eneloops are a tight fit, I guess the minor difference in diameter does show up in devices with very small tolerances.

(the two on the sides are my Eneloop pros, the one in the center is a plain vanilla eveready. Never experienced the size issue, in fact this is the first time I’ve noticed it. BTW, the gap isn’t as big as it seems, the glare from the edge of the shiny eveready adds to the real gap. Might have to play around with lighting to get an accurate shot.)

Vishki’s video:

@goldi: You might want to try a few other cells to check whether they fit if the fit is a known issue. Someone around you must have 2000mAh or 2500mAh cells, try them before you buy anything.

Mr_N,
There are actually minute size differences between brands, possibly even within the same brand
I have a set of 4 Uniross 2200 mAH batteries
These don’t fit in some of the clocks that I want to use them in (initially them bought for a camera, now 1 battery has a problem so I use these either in toys, torches or clocks)
The Eneloops, Eneloop Lites (bought specially for the clocks) and Envies all fit in the clocks without any problem

hasif,
I have the same problem of sometimes having an odd number of cells to charge
I use the charger that came with a set of Eneloops (http://www.homeshop18.com/sanyo-eneloop-bc-kjr6...). Works great with most of the NiMH ones as it has individual charging channels as Mr_N already mentioned. I don’t use it with the NiCd ones and a few problematic NiMH ones (the Uniross set). Those go in the Digiflip charger (http://www.flipkart.com/digiflip-bc001-battery-...)
The Digiflip is discontinued on Flipkart but the last time I checked I saw lookalikes on eBay
The Digiflip works fine but I would never trust my Eneloops in it (They’re far too costly https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif )

Bought it 18 months ago. The charger + battery set plus another set of 4 eneloops
Both sets of Eneloops are fine as are the Envie batteries that I’ve charged with this charger

It’s actually a 4 hour charger when you use 4 batteries
2 hours when you use 2 batteries in the quick slots (outermost)
and 1.25 hours when you use 1 battery in the quick slot
(approx time for 2000 mAH batteries)

I forgot to mention that I bought the Digiflip one because that was the only low priced one with 4 individual charging channels that charged both NiMH & NiCd batteries

@sbdtrial I read somewhere in a post here in desidime someone saying that in case of using quick chargers you shouldn’t charge any battery less than 2100mah in it,else it’ll reduce the life of the battery.Is that true?

Just a few other things:

My charger is the MQR06, different from any of the chargers you’ve listed. It’s an older gen NDV smart charger.

If you need AA cells in sets of four, you could go for the Eneloop 4 pack with charger.
Simple Google searches revealed that the older gen BC KJR6B40TM is a Negative delta V (NDV) based charge termination charger with temperature protection while the BQ CC17 is a delta temperature / delta time based charger with additional NDV cutoff. Which is better suited for NiMH cells would be better answered by an expert, I’m just googling stuff here https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_toungueout.gif
However, there’s the fact that the newest generation of Eneloop chargers are in three variants, and the BQ- CC17 is the middle of the line, it would be great if you could get your hands on the top of the line BQ- CC16.

The difference between NDV vs delta T/ delta t: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/char... and http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/char...

I’d also consider http://www.flipkart.com/sanyo-eneloop-bc-kjr6w2...
(two Sanyo Eneloop XX cells with the same KJR6 charger as above, for almost Rs. 200 less than the above 4 2000mAh cells) if I wasn’t particular about a set of 4 cells. If I were looking for an Eneloop smart charger and didn’t really care about the bundled cells, I’d go for this one (not that you’re getting terrible cells, the bundled cells are awesome too https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif )

As for the issue of quick charging decreasing the life of NiMH cells, I’m not sure what the verdict on that is, but the general vibe on googling the issue seems to be positive. Using smart chargers and charging cells quickly seems better for cells than accidental overcharging with dumb chargers. Still, I’m no expert, wouldn’t mind an expert opinion on the issue.
Personally, I’ve also been using the Eneloop charger for a set of uniross 2500mAh and Sony 2500 mAh cycle energy (the grey non low self discharge variant) cells without any issues till now. I never charge them at 2x or 3x speeds though.
Just avoid using either of these placements:

I read in a couple of places that fast chargers are good for only batteries having 2000mah and above is it true? In that case,i cannot charge 1000mAh AA or 600mAh AAA batteries in it? If done,will it reduce its life?

NiMH cells really hate overcharging (continuing charging after the cell has been charged completely), a charger that terminates charging when it detects that the cells are completely charged prolongs the cell life.
Now for the charging speed. Charging within 2 hours means the cell is being charged at 0.5C and charging in 4 hours means the cells are being charged at 0.25C (that’s the ratio of charging current to cell capacity)
For AA cells, Eneloop quick chargers charge at around 500mA and for AAA they charge around 250mA, which means for your 1000mAh AA cells they’ll charge at 0.5C and your 600mAh cells will be charged around 0.42C.
You might want to go through threads like these:http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.... to know appropriate charging currents (and hence charging speeds) of NiMH cells. Charging too slow (less than 0.1C ie. more than10 hours) risks missing the detection of termination of charge and overcharging the cell, since the NDV or dT/dt techniques for detection of charge termination need a somewhat significant change in measured parameters (sudden dip in cell voltage or sudden rise in temperature) to successfully terminate charging, and in a slow charge these changes are too sublte. But I think I would trust an Eneloop slow charger to detect charge termination.
You can check out the preferred charge termination methods and charge speeds for NiMH vs NiCad cells here: http://www.mpoweruk.com/charge...tm or go through the links I gave above regarding NDV vs dT/dt termination (they also contain a bucketload of other details like recommended currents for various cell chemistries.

Like I said, I’m not an expert, I’m just getting stuff off Google here, and I couldn’t find any references for your statement that cells less than 2000mAh shouldn’t be quick charged. Did you see it in any reputable forum/ website/ hear it from someone in the know?
The Eneloop catalog for the KJR6 charger clearly mentions charging times for 800mAh AAA cells. AFAIK for AAA cells the max available capacity is around 1000mAh, and the fact that these chargers charge AAA cells suggests that the capacity isn’t an issue. What matters is the charging current and its ratio to the capacity.

The only issue with Eneloop quick chargers that came up in a few forums is that they plainly refuse to charge extremely old cells with very high internal resistance. I’m guessing this is due to some protection system in the charger that thinks that the high internal resistance indicates a non rechargeable cell and shuts down charging (this is a protective feature mentioned in almost all Eneloop chargers). For such cells, you might want to hang on to your old chargers that will push current through the cell irrespective of anything.

Refer to the charger manual, and check the mentioned time for 2000mAh cells.

Or, post a pic of the other side, or let us know how much the rated charging current is (will be mentioned on the label on the other side)
Ideally, the cell mAh (2000mAh in your case) divided by charging current (xyz mA) will give you the charging time (as long as you’re charging completely drained cells.
Realistically, it will be slightly higher than the ideal value, since nothing is 100% efficient, some current will be lost as heat too.


EDIT: Just checked Amazon http://www.amazon.in/Envie-Infinite-Rechargeabl...
The rated current is 180mA per AA cell, so time will be 2000/180 = 11.1111… hours, or about 11-12 hours (as long as you’re charging completely drained cells)
Avoid leaving them in the charger longer than 12 hours.
