Review on πŸ”‹ Efficient POWXS Universal Rechargeable Battery Charger for NiMH & NiCD Batteries | USB & Type C Input by Allie Diaz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not very safe for chargers

Quoting the manufacturer's promotional material "Multiple security protections for you and your batteries. The microcontroller controlled fast charger will automatically turn off when the safe charging time is reached, protects the battery from over-discharge, over-voltage and over-current, ensuring the safety of you and your battery. Unfortunately, there is no mention of overheating or overdischarging of ions. It could be a battery fault (brand is in the picture and they will be returned as well) but in my humble opinion the charger should detect high ion discharge or heat build up as a result of the discharge. By the way, this happened within 36 hours of receiving the charger. Glad it was on my desk when I smelled the pungent odor.

Pros
  • ⚑⚑⚑Fast charging speed: up to 1000mA charging current, support fast battery charging in less than 3 hours. Optional Micro USB 5V 2A port and Type-C input makes charging easy.
Cons
  • Very expensive
