Hi Richard,
This charger says in the instructions to only charge NiMH batteries. I know from experience that you need to be careful not to charge batteries that are not designed to handle a fast charge rate. Your Sanyo batteries can certainly handle a fast charge rate. I have used the Energizer batteries with the 15 minute charger, Sanyo 2300 and the greenbatteries.com brand too. This charger can get the batteries VERY hot while they charge so if the battery has a fault it is likely to really push it hard. Interestingly it gets the Energizer brand of 2200 mAh batteries the hottest, but that is probably because they are brand new.
The charger also has a very sensitive "bad battery detector" I was just charging four 2300 Sanyo batteries and the Energizer charger did not like one of the Sanyo batteries (if the light blinks red, you have a bad contact or a bad battery and the charger will not charge any of the batteries, not just the one that it thinks is bad. The ten cell charger charged it up fine though, not sure what that means.
Hope that helps.
Sincerely,
Curtis

Hi Curtis,
Do you know if the Energizer 15 minute charger compatible with the Sanyo 2300 mAh NiMH AA cells that I own?
Best Regards,
Richard
