I have finally decided to switch over to Eneloop batteries and needing some help on trying to figure out the difference in chargers. I have quickly figured out after having a baby all those little toys take a lot of batteries
On Panasonic’s website there are three models:
BQ-CC16 Smart and Fast Charger
BQ-CC17 Advanced Charger for Frequent Users
BQ-CC18 Basic Charger for Occasional users
I guess I am trying to figure out what the pro’s and con’s of each of these chargers are? The BQ-CC16 seems like the obvious choice based on charge time, but does it make the batteries have a shorter overall life span ( Recharge Cycles).
Also, is the BQ-CC16 available in the U.S. ? All the sites I see it on seem to be outside the U.S.
I am mostly looking for any info anyone could give me on Eneloop chargers and batteries or any advice anyone could give on getting started with the Eneloops.
