Customer Reviews
This is actually a very nice "smart" charger, well built, fast, and easy to use. However, it has one very significant flaw that causes me to lower it's rating from 4-5 down to 3. It automatically cuts off charging for all the battery types EXCEPT 9v. For some inexplicable reason, the 9v charging does not self terminate. The instructions which come with it actually say this and warn you about it, but it is buried in the text and easily missed. Instead you are supposed to just guess when the battery is fully charged (they do tell you how long it should take to achieve a full charge from a fully depleted battery, so at least you have an upper limit on time to work with). If you forget to pull the batteries out you can presumably damage them as a result. This is darned near an inexcusable design flaw for what is otherwise a very fine product. I was temped to rate it at 1 because of this one item, but in the end it does so well with the other types that I opted for a middling rank. I can only assume that the engineering changes required to fix this are so substantial that they judged it not worth the added expense, but if they were just being lazy in their design shop then shame on them.
Nice to have this with some rechargeable batteries of ALL SIZES in the event of emergency.
It is easy to load the rechargeable batteries into the charging bay it seemed to work best to put 4-AA batteries across on the bottom contacts to get the best charging connection.
Cells are charged in pairs, so the "Bad Cell Indication" is in pairs, forcing the user to figure out which one or both of the cells are bad. Also, different sized cells fit into pre-designed pockets, except AAA, so its very difficult to get AAA into a position that will charge.
use it for remotes for tv
For the price, this is a great buy. I use it to charge up D and AA batteries almost every week - I use 10,000 MAH D batteries bought from Batterymart and they work really well and last a long time in my aerator pump I use to keep my fishing bait alive. They do take many hours to charge, but I just charge them overnight and all is well. The unit is mildly flimsy, but I don't move it around or dro
Easy to use, reliable, and portable.
