A:Answer8 hours on a full charge but we usually charge them before fully dead. They last as long as or longer than normal batteries I think. Get you a spare set to always have two charged and ready to go.
A:AnswerAlthough they do have some charge already, it is recommended to charge prior to first use. I have a charger that will charge them automatically. Usually it takes less then a half hour the first time.
A:AnswerPatti, I brought the Energizer Re-charger that will re charge AA; AAA; C; D; and 9 Volt batteries. on the AA Rechargeable batteries in the very bottom left hand corner in very fine print it say, "1.2 Vcc NiMH Batteries/piles." Based on that I would think that these batteries would work. In the past I have had Nikon cameras and used off the self batters in them with now issues. I am not claiming to be an expert by any means just letting you know my experience with these batteries.
I hope this helps you.
A:AnswerYep - Panasonic Eneloop will work, as long as it's an NiMH version of the charger. I have a cheap EBL charger that recharges these really quick, too.
