What Duracell charger do you have. I found that the Sanyo charger that comes with a set of Eneloops charges cells in pairs. That means that the cells will only charge up to the level of the pair. As an experiment, I charged a set of Eneloops with the Sanyo charger and then let them cool, and then put them into a Duracell CEF 23 charger. This particular Duracell charger charges each cell individually. As expected, two of the cells showed full charge almost immediately, the third cell showed full charge in about 5 min. The last cell charged for almost 1/2 hour! Because the Pentax cameras that take AA batteries use them in series, one low cell will shorten the run time for all. This why people recommend the Maha, etc.
