Product Description
The Panasonic eneloop BQ-CC55, 4-position Ni-MH battery charger can quickly, and individually charge any combination of up to four AA or AAA eneloop batteries in just 3 hours (one to two AA or AAA batteries can be fully charged in up to just 1.5 hours). Individual charging means you can easily and efficiently charge from 1 to 4 batteries with differing levels of remaining charge. A huge time saver! The CC55 charger also features 4 individual LED charge indicator lights. Once batteries are installed, the charger measures each cell and the corresponding light indicates the remaining charge; Green 80 to 100%, Orange 20% to 80%, and Red 0% to 20%. After each battery reaches the next level of charging the LED light changes to indicate the cells charge level. Once the battery is completely charged, the LED light turns off for that cell. Ideal for use at home, in the office, or on the road, this Panasonic CC55 charger is a quick and convenient way to recharge any combination of up to four AA or AAA Ni-MH eneloop, eneloop pro, or conventional Panasonic Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.

Some reviewers of the BQ-CC55 noted that the batteries get too hot or complained of noise coming from the charger while in use. Charging two Energizer 2000 mAh AA cells at a time, the batteries did get warm but not hot. It also charges those two AA cells in about an hour and-a-half which is quite a bit faster than the 3-4 hours it takes for the Energizer charger. After using the charger for the fourth time, I did notice very faint, sporadic, high-pitched beeps that I didn't notice the previous times I used it. Since then, I haven't heard any sound produced by the charger so it's a non-issue.
The colored LED status indicators are well-designed and one of the best features of this charger in addition to the fast, smart charging. The lights begin at red (<20%), turn to yellow (20%-80%), then green (80%+). Charging is complete once the LED shuts off after turning green. One feature I like better in the Energizer charger are the audible tones generated when the charging process starts and when it finishes. It's helpful to have an audible alert when charging has finished in case the charger isn't within line-of-sight, but that's a small nit. The BQ-CC55 is a step up from the Energizer Pro Charger and the one I wish I had bought in the first place.
UPDATE 02/2019: After a year and four months of using this charger a few times a month, it developed strange high-pitched electronic noises (the closest sound I can compare it to is electronic squeaking). I've read other reviews which described this issue and now I have it also. The noise fluctuates in volume and also changes tone so it isn't one consistent type of noise.
It seems the charger still works just fine as the batteries were charged to full capacity. It's just that the noise is annoying and an unwanted development in a lightly-used product. Hopefully, it's a minor issue and one that won't affect the charger's performance in the long run because this a a really good product otherwise.
UPDATE 07/2019: Ever since the one instance when the charger started emitting sound, the sound has vanished. Thankfully, it was a temporary issue. I've used it many times since then and it's been silent. After 2 years of use, this charger is still working very well.
I've read and noticed differences in the longevity and lifespan of Amazon batteries. I rationalized buying them over single-use batteries since I could get multiple uses out of them. But so many times the Amazon charger would flash red meaning the batteries "were bad" supposedly after only a couple uses. And since you have to charge two at a time, you never knew which was "bad". I'd end up swapping pairs and driving myself mad in permutations of combinations in a pile of dead batteries.
After much frustration and research I decided to switch to Enerloop batteries, the ones made in Japan (some are made in China). After receiving the batteries and quick charger, I decided to try and charge some of my old Amazon batteries that were being recognized as "bad". Miraculously they came back to life, being spared from the garbage bin. Not only that, but ones that were showing as fully charged in the Amazon charger were able to be even further charged for more power.
I understand that the Amazon batteries are rechargeable and cheaper than alternatives, but if you only get a couple uses before they show as "bad" and they never get a full charge then they aren't much of an upgrade from single use which are far cheaper.
What I love the most about this is the ability to see the status of the battery. I bought some brand new HiQuick AAA and Tenergy AA batteries along with it went about charging them. It showed them as Yellow, quickly flipped to Green, and then the color goes away when fully charged. I also put the "old" batteries I had in it and it showed some of them as blinking red which means they are dead. Some did still work though and charged up ok.
I also like that you can do AA and AAA at the same time. I could have gotten one that charged more than 4 batteries but realistically who needs to charge more than 4 at a time anyway?
