Have more than 40 rechargeable NiMHs, none of them are eneloops
Yeah, I mean AA, AAA, etc
Have more than 40 rechargeable NiMHs, none of them are eneloops
no way!
I only have pix of about 1/3 of the chargers & 1/4 of the batteries...
Oops, I finally triggered the demise of my Photobucket account with this post.....I will be back to update this post when I find my new photo hosting site....
For those caught off guard by Photobucket's new $400/year fee to post images (like I was), Imagur seems to be easier to use and I am blown away by the quality of display on their site(sorry to go off topic, we now return to the regularly scheduled thread)....

My collection is not for flashlights (I only have a Nitecore D11 v2), but I use rechargeables for anything else.
At the right side of the red line, 2 chargers for NP-F and BP-U type batteries shown above the chargers. NP-F mostly used for LED lights. My active AA/AAA batteries consists mostly of Camelion AlwaysReady 800Mah (24 total, 4 still in the blister pack) used for low drain devices (mouses, remotes etc), 16x Panasonic Eneloop Pro (flash usage), 8x standard eneloops, 24x Tronic Eco 2300mAh (used in AA->NP-F adapters shown at the pic too) and 8x Tronic Eco still in the blister pack, 2x Samsung Q30 and 2x supposedly LG HG2 but they seem to be fake (probably LG HE or something like that). There also various other brands of AA and AAA in the boxes but these are of lower quality or older ones (still functional however but not for critical use). Chargers include Liitokala Lii-500, 2x Maha MC9000 with C&D size adapters (placed in one maha), Sanyo Eneloop MQR-06W, Sony BCG-34HRE, Soshine SCU1, a solar AA/AAA charger and a quite older dumb/timer one Powerman PWR U250 for 9V charging and deep discharging of batteries (down to 0V if needed). There are a few more batteries here and there and a couple more chargers (dumb and USB) not shown in the pic, bored to dig up the house to find them :wave:.

I mainly use chargers that I have designed and built . I thought I'd share them with you. Not cost effective to build but all part of the hobby I suppose. Charger on the right can charge each bay at 1A, 500mA, or 250mA. Each bay is individually controlled and doesn't matter whether it is NiMh or Li-Ion. Charger is very efficient with no heat issues at all and can do each bay at 1A at the same time. I still use the LaCrosse BC-700 a lot.
Travel case has a couple of small chargers in it. I can use them in car or hotel room.
Too many to count.
I have nearly 500 lights with batteries in them, a stockpile in case that aint enough and only 1 charger.
