| charging double A's
When i first began buying rechargeable energizer AA's they were all 2300mAh. Some of the recent ones are 2500 and 2450mAh. Would it kill them if charged together? thanks |

my understanding is that a good charger will sense any AA reaches to its maximum capacity and stop there. its called peak detective something like that. if my understanding is correct, ur charger will put out 2400 and these 2500s 2450s will not be fully charged. wont reach its potential as these nimh has memory. i use GP power AA charger that does charge AA independently for defferent AA, or AA tray to charge same AA. just my 2 cent, take wisely lol |

Best bet would be to charge all batteries of a certain capacity together if at all possible. A lot depends on the charger, most of those are fairly basic and don't really "peak charge". Are these the rechargeable alkalines, NiCD's or NiMH's?? |

Thanks for the replies. i'll just stick with charging the same mAh together, but here's the charger. This thing cooks 'em fast. |

I find with AA's low and slow is best..... I charge mine on an old Triton @ 200mA. Narly1 |
