no difficultnesses here
By S. R. Bobrowski
I don’t write a heap of of these but I saw the bads one and had to portion my experiance. We have a 1 year old child and were going through batteries like crazy. We purchased one of these in the hopes it will help. I must say buying the charger and batteries in addition is not cheap but helps save cash in the end.
The screen to tell you how charged the batteries are is great. The batteries last almost as long as a regular battery. I do not forget as a kid (i’m 29) that recharable batteries were actually bad, they would die on finelooking much the same day. But that is no longer the case. We liked the charger and batteries so much we purchased a second charger and all we use is recharables now. We use AA,C,D and i’m when it comes to to buy more AA do to the need and am going to undertake the 9V for the portable radio.
I have not tried any other huge rechargers but I havn’t had a need to. The quality is the same as others I have seen at the store, constructed with hard plastic and charges them quick. It’s easy to open and close and using it is self explanatory.
All in all a outstanding product and a cash saver we love both of ours and have had them for over 2 years. If I necessitated another charger I would go right to this one.

degrades over time
By Dan27
This charger worked in truth well for the firstborn year or so I owned it. Now I am finding that it only charges batteries 30%– and I’m not talking with regards to the same old batteries I’ve had (which have only seen possibly 5 or so charges)… This happens even with brand new rechargeable cells. I’ve tried experimenting with charging 4 at a time vs 8, and have not seen a difference. It seems to recognize that numerous batteries are charged more than others when activated but does not completely charge them anymore. I’m going to give it one more shot to see if it may at least handle 1 cell at a time before throwing it in the dumpster. I don’t think I’ve even come close to sameness my investment in rechargeable batteries yet… I wish I would have just purchased disposables…

Never had a problem
By Erwin D. Taylor
I saw the negative comeents and read the good ones as well. As with anything electronic, there are going to be ones that work and those that don’t. It may be a quality control issue. I have had this unti for closely three years at work and it is used consistently. I have never ahd a problem. It does what it is designed to do, recharge batteries. I use the batteries in a digital camera for ID photos and fr a flash unit. Again, never had a problem with the baterries performing and lasting a reasonable amount of time. Considering the cost of constantly buying more alternate baterries, I’ll take this any day. If your cost analysis says something diferent, then you ought to do what’s best for you. Even replacing the charger each couple of yearsis more cost effective than buying batteries over the same amount of time of time.
