Our verdict

A smart charger for anyone running eneloop AA and AAA cells who wants to see each battery's condition. It handles only nickel metal hydride AA and AAA sizes, so lithium or C and D cells need another charger.

Overview

Charging each AA or AAA cell on its own channel, this Panasonic charger checks every eneloop or eneloop pro battery as it goes in and stops that slot when it is full. Four LCD readouts show charge time, voltage and capacity, and a USB port powers a phone at the same time.

Seeing voltage and discharge capacity for each cell lets you spot a tired battery before it fails in a camera flash or controller. It is built around nickel metal hydride AA and AAA cells and nothing else.

Who it's for

Households and studios with a drawer of AA and AAA eneloop cells used in flashes, remotes and controllers. People who need to charge other chemistries or larger sizes should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Each slot charges independently
  • Per cell voltage and capacity readout
  • Mix AA and AAA in one load
  • USB port charges other devices
Cons
  • AA and AAA nickel metal hydride only
  • Listing conflicts on included batteries
  • Warranty term not listed

Performance notes

Charge time depends on the battery type and how many cells are loaded, since fewer cells finish faster. Because each slot measures its own cell, a half empty battery next to a dead one still ends at full without overcharging.

Frequently asked questions

Are batteries included with the Panasonic CC65?

The listing conflicts. A bullet says eneloop pro batteries are not included, while the description mentions 4AAA eneloop pro batteries. Check the box contents on the offer before relying on it.

Can I charge just one battery in the CC65?

Yes. Individual charging handles anywhere from 1 to 4 batteries with differing levels of charge.

What does the USB port on the Panasonic CC65 do?

It is a 5V 1A output that can charge other devices without unplugging the charger.

What does the LCD on the CC65 show?

Each of the 4 displays shows charge or discharge time, cell voltage and mAh discharge level for its battery.
