Review on Efficient 8 Bay AA/AAA Battery Charger With Type-C High-Speed Charging And Independent Slots - Dlyfull by Alan Pfeiffer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Room for improvement

Some of the things I like is that this charger provides pretty fast charging, to the amount where the charger think the battery is full. It uses USB Type C cable to power, which I think all devices should adopt.There are major challenges to this charger though. The biggest one would be it will not properly detect what a full charge is for different battery types. I tested 4 types of batteries, and it seems to be able to charge only 1/4 to full. For LADDA 1900, 2450 AA and LADDA 750 AAA batteries, this charger seems to get it to a point where the voltage is stabilized to 1.2V and just stop there, regardless if the battery is actually full. I found this out performing a discharge test as well as putting the "full" batteries into other chargers where those chargers are able to charge the battery for at least 2 more hours till full. The Eneloop battery this one was able to charge to pretty much full properly.My second issue is the loading. The charging terminals for this charger doesn't seem to have a lot of expandability, some of my batteries seems to be a tiny bigger than others (maybe its the wrapper), so they have a hard time to be inserted without scratching the wrapping off, which overtime will cause problems.
