I use only Sanyo Eneloop AA's for my Nikon DSLR battery grips. So far, I have purchased only Nikon battery grips, though that may change down the road.
I have an 8-battery Watson charger and I simply recharge the batteries and rotate them.
Just 1/2 hour ago I stripped the 8 Eneloop AA rechargeable batteries from the D500's MBD-17's magazine and replaced them with 8 fully charged AA's from the PowerPax magazines; i.e. I keep several of these PowerPax magazines loaded with fully charged AA's. I also have PowerPax that take AAA's.
There is no problem at all because I have been doing this for close to a decade. This is the only way I power these grips.
The AA battery-life meter indicator does not work with these. So what? No big deal at all. I shoot so much that I have a good idea when they are running low and I just rotate them anyway. Besides, if I am really not sure, I just switch to the Nikon battery in the D500 and charge them when I get home. Also, the Watson has an option to drain them to total exhaustion. These are 1900 mAh nickel metal hydrides.
