I’ve purchased this charger kit to use with my digital camera. As far as that goes, it was absolutely futile. The batteries simply drain too quickly. I made sure there was enough time to charge (at least 2 hours) and one time I had it charging for 2 days straight. The thing is, as soon as you take the batteries out of the charger, they start to drain. I’ve read a lot of positive reviews on this thing, that is why I bought it, but I must say my personal experience coincides more with the reviewers who gave this product a 1 star: in other words, a complete waste of money.
I like this product because it recharges both AA and AAA quickly and can be used on 110 or 220 current. However, it does not have a flip out plug, which my previous one had, but a separate plug with a heavy metal box (transformer?) which makes it much less convenient for travel.
Removing AAA batteries from the charger is a real pain. Also, you must be careful when inserting AAA batteries to be certain that they are pushed in all the way.
Bought this charger kit a couple of months ago, and now that I’ve had time to evaluate it, it is definitely an excellent product – especially for the PRICE!
I’ve had no problems with charging AA’s or AAA’s. I use AAA’s for my voice recorder, and it can go weeks without having to recharge the batteries. And when it does come to recharging them, it only takes a couple of hours before they’re done. For the AA’s, I use them for my DSLR external Flash, so that definitely is a device which can drain a normal AA, but the supplied batteries hold up VERY well even at the full power setting on my flash.
Good build quality, great portability (having the in-car charger), quick charge times, and best of all it comes at a great price. No need to go with the brand name chargers which can cost twice as much (and don’t have the in-car charger included). This product is firstly a great product, and secondly great value!
Initially I liked this charger a lot better than I do now. For one thing, the green indicator light comes on very quickly and is not reliable to show that the batteries are fully charged: just keep track of the time and charge them for a full 2 hours, regardless of the light. After that my multimeter shows the nimhs fully charged, however, they have a VERY short life before being drained past the useful limit. I do not know if this is because this is a rapid charger or it is the fault of the batteries, but I’ve used two different brands and they all drain way too fast, esp. in my Panasonic Lumix digital camera, but also in a plain ole flashlight. I’m tempted to just keep buying alkalines and oxyrides, despite the expense.
