11 years ago I purchased an MH-C9000, but soon stopped using it because of the poor performance of the NiMH rechargeable batteries of that era. I've now become aware of LSD NiMH batteries, and intend to buy a number of Eneloop Pro or Powerex Precharged batteries, but I have a few basic questions first.
I'm aware that when charging Eneloop batteries with the MH-C9000, the charger reports the batteries to be fully charged when their voltage reaches 1.48V, even though at this level the batteries are not fully charged. Is there a similar problem with Powerex Precharged batteries?
I've read that if Eneloop batteries are left in the MH-C9000 for 3 hours beyond the point at which the MH-C9000 falsely reports them to be fully charged, they do become fully charged. Is this the case?
Do chargers such as the MH-C9000 and the BQ-CC65 automatically stop charging when the batteries are full? If not, does this harm the batteries (eg. reduce their life)?
I'm not sure that I need all the capabilities of MH-C9000. If I simply need to recharge Eneloop Pro or Powerex Precharged batteries to their full capacity and keep them healthy, would a simpler charger (such as the Panasonic BQ-CC65) do just as well for both Eneloop and Powerex Precharged batteries?
