Panasonic eneloop BQ-CC61N Portable USB Charger for AA & AAA Batteries

DC 5 V USB input lets you charge on the go

Weighing just 65 grams, BQ-CC61 makes an ideal traveling companion thanks to DC 5 V USB input. You can use your laptop's USB port, a portable power bank, your phone's AC adapter, or the DC 5 V outlet in your car or airplane seat to charge your eneloop batteries. Since there always seem to be more devices to charge than AC outlets, being able to charge eneloop and your other devices with an aftermarket multi-port AC adapter is handy, especially when you travel.

Basic charger with LED indicators

If you mostly use your AA/AAA eneloop or eneloop pro batteries in low-drain devices that don't require frequent charging, BQ-CC61 is a solution with excellent cost performance. LEDs for each pair of slots light green while charging and switch off after a fixed 10-hour period, enough time for the inserted batteries to fully charge.

Step 3

The light above each pair of slots turns solid green to indicate that the installed batteries are being charged. If an invalid battery is inserted or a battery is installed incorrectly, the light above the affected pair of slots flashes green, and power to those slots is shut down to prevent damage to the batteries and charger.

Step 4

The charger is equipped with a safety timer that shuts off power to all slots after 10 hours. The lights switch off when this period has elapsed. However, the charging times in the nearby table are recommended to extend battery life.

Step 5

Disconnect the charging cable and USB power adapter from the AC outlet, or remove the charging cable from your device's DC 5 V USB port, and disconnect the cable from the charger. Remove the batteries as soon as possible after charging.
