Eneloop "requires" that you use their charge for warranty -- but there's 
no technical requirement that you do so. A decent smart charger (medium 
amperage, a few hours to charge with autoshutoff) is preferable to 
either a quick charger (like the 15-minute chargers) or a dumb slow 
charger (the really low amperage ones that take overnight and don't shut 
off automatically) for battery durability though
