Review on 5-Pack EBL 9V Rechargeable Lithium Ion Batteries With 600MAh Capacity And 5-Bay Charger For Smoke Alarm Detectors - 2A Input by Craig Rossman

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very slow to charge

Manual does not say how long it takes to charge and recommends a 2A charger. I have used several different ones and the charger only pulls .30 amps. Seller send replacement due to it not showing when the battery was completely charged. I have to periodically unplug it and plug it back into power to see the charge light go from red to green. Other than that issue, it does work, but I think it should not require as much operator intervention and maybe give an idea of how far the battery has charged. I am talking like 4 hours!

Pros
  • The batteries hold their charge well, so you can rely on them to be ready when you need them
Cons
  • The charger's cord may not be long enough to be used comfortably in some outlets
