I did a bunch of research before buying a charger from Thompsons. It seems that slow charging the NiMH batteries significantly increases the number of times that they will recharge compared to fast charge-type chargers.


OK; so do the 2000mAh Enloops last twice as long in the JBL as the
Ray-O-Vac 1000mAh?

Do you see any real difference/improvements as a result of the "low discharge" feature, with regard to use in the JBL? How has it shown up in use? Is there a noticeable difference between the Enloop and the Ray-O-vac, in this regard?


--------------------

I have ordered some batteries and a charger from Thomas Distributing
and will be comparing their performance, in the JBL, with the grocery
store Energizer rechargeables, over the next few months.

Would this charger meet your description of a slow charger?
Maha MH-C204W White World Battery Charger

The batteries I will be using for this test:
ANSMANN 2500 AA LOW DISCHARGE NIMH

Luck;
Ken
