 * Sanyo Eneloop MQN05U (NC-TGR01 in Japan) - Charges 1-4 AAA or AA cells and usually comes with 4 AA eneloops. Note that this charger has a single indicator light which comes on after all of the cells are charged. It should not be confused with the very similar MQN06x which has two indicator lights and charges in pairs. Any NiMH charger can be used to charge Eneloop cells.
