Yep, should charge just fine. That's all I've been charging my Eneloops in.

I'd assume so. Thomas Distributing sells a bc-900 eneloop bundle.

Is there a 15-minute smart charger?
I don't want to have to wait 7 hours to charge batteries every time!

I have one and it works fine but the batteries get pretty hot. I don't use it all the time because it will shorten the usable life of the batteries.

Duracell 15 minute charger

I would avoid 15 minute chargers with the Eneloops. You are asking for trouble and a shortened cell life span. There are many 1 hour smart chargers out there that do a great job and won't cook your batteries.

Try Thomas Distributing. I have the MH-C800S 8 cell charger and it works great.

I agree. I have a Ray-O-Vac 1 hr charger I've had for 3-4 years and it works fine with with all my NiMH. The Duracell 15 minute charger I use only in emergencies. The only reason I bought the 15 minute charger was I got it with 4-2500 mAH Duracell AA's for 9.99 AR.

Link added in my post above..
The Lacrosse bc-900 is also a decent charger.
Amazon is cheaper than Thomas D for the Lacrosse.

Per CPA - Looks like this is B&M only.

Review.

Very good rechargeable batteries. What makes those unique is excellent shelve life time. Those have much less self discharge rate than "normal" rechargeables.

I'd say $20 is hot for 8AA, 4AAA and charger.
