Hi Sam,
Yes, they can be charged in any good quality NiMH charger. You might want to be careful using a really super fast charger though and watch them during the charge cycle - at ,least the first few times. I have noticed that the chargers that are typically included with these newer "ready to use" or ultra low self discharge (ULSD) NiMH batteries are very slow chargers. That said, these NiMH batteries are advertised by their manufacturers to be usable with any modern good quality NiMH charger.
They all seem to perform equally well in my casual tests with my Kodak camera and CD player, flashlight, etc. but I have not really done any aggressive tests. I can say that I found it odd to discover that only the Hybrio batteries were actually received 100% full of power. The Eneloop and greenbatteries.com brand batteries were received 60% full of power. Not sure what that means...
Also the Hybrio batteries have an odd discharge curve that is hard to describe in any way but erratic. Does not seem to affect the performance though...
These batteries are all so new that really serious testing is in order to see if one comes out on top but finding the time is the issue. ;-)
Remember, any batteries that you get from us are 100% guaranteed though so you are able to feel comfortable.
Sincerely,
Curtis

Have you found differences between eneloop, hybrio, and ultra low discharge greenbatteries?
