The supplied AAA batteries are beyond reproach, but you should, as already mentioned here strongly advise against this charger. I had there too late ensured. There is min. Two problems with this charger: - Charging current is very small => long charging time - Even worse: No charge termination by dV / dt detection, which in modern NiMH batteries as the eneloops and even with older batteries quasi inevitably in an overload and thus permanent damage to the batteries ends. Timer-charge 16h inevitably leads to overload in AA and AAA. Taking the battery by, for example 10h itself from the device, they are either already overweight or not completely full, or by chance precisely fully ... This is actually total nonsense.
