Works great + can use car adapter | |
| It really does charge regular old cheapsky NiMH batteries in 30 minutes. Who needs the much more expensive 15 minute batteries?
Plus, the recharger unit connects to the AC adapter via a 12 volt power jack, so you can easily find a car adapter for it. I use the one from my rechargeable spotlite. | |
Not a sales pitch | |
| Wow, who could miss that these other reviewers work for Energizer? Anyway, not me and I don't own stock. I did buy this recharger at Target, for my digital camera AAs. It works as advertized, so I would say I am satisfied. Fast is good. But I would be more satisfied if the price was $19.99 not $29.99. It is easy to pack, but a little heavy, I guess that's to be expected with the transformer and batteries themselves. Overall, recommended. | |
Four batteries, (almost) no waiting | |
| If your digital camera uses 2 AA batteries, this is probably the best accessory you can buy. After an initial break-in charge of 24 hours, these 1850mAh batteries are ready to power you through as many snapshots as your camera can take. With one pair in the charger and the other in your camera, you won't miss a shot or hold up the fun while you head off to the nearest convenience store for an overpriced stale battery. The charger handles any AA or AAA NiMH battery of any capacity including the newer 2100mAh cells, but be sure to charge similar sizes and capacities together. NiMH battery chargers are controlled by microprocessors, so all of the batteries have to be the same size and capacity for proper discharging, charging and post-charging maintenance. The charger and its AC adapter will slip easily into your luggage when you go on a trip, supplying all the juice you need for all those pictures you're going to take. Both sets should easily get you through a day of shooting and when you come back to the hotel, a half-hour in the charger will have 'em ready to take on the night. These are batteries that can stay up late and still be ready for another day of all-day shooting. NiMH batteries are also excellent for PDAs, MP3 players, handheld games and digital camcorders. With this 30-minute charger, no one will complain about having to wait all night for a fresh battery. |
