Odd. I use the same charger for my Eneloops as I use for all my other
rechargeable NiMHs (Energiser, Rayovac, ARs, etc. - both AA & AAAs);
a Maha charger I bought from Thomas Distributing. I'm sure the other
good chargers (Lacie, etc.) can handle tmem all too.
And I'm not saying otherwise. Sanyo does.

Page 16:
"Is it Possible to Charge eneloop with
Other Manufacturers’ Chargers?"
"No, we do not recommend it. Neither the construction
nor the characteristics of both battery and charger are
the same. Accordingly, we do not recommend that other
manufacturers’ batteries be charged with Sanyo chargers."
Hence the "having to carry an additional special charger".
I consider that a disadvantage not offset by them being sold pre-charged.
