Review on πŸ”‹ HiQuick 16+2 Bay Rechargeable Battery Charger with Smart LCD Display - Fast Charging for AA AAA NiMH/NI-CD & 9V NiMH/Li-ion Batteries by Jim Linquist

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I don't like it: Household batteries, chargers and accessories

Too aggressive, batteries tear open their structure. They are not easy to pull out, they are pulled out. The AA and AAA slots don't charge lithium cells, to be honest I've tried two different types and neither caught my eye. The only lithium cell it charges is 9V and I think I shouldn't have gotten the description very good as technically lithium batteries are placed right after NI-MH's 9V. He charged my eneloop batteries after being there for about five hours. It's not fast, it's average for NI-MH. Which I gradually wanted to give up and use lithium. I'm very disappointed that it didn't help. Even more frustrating is how the slots hold the batteries and are difficult to remove when you're done. However, for the charger, it takes on the task of charging the batteries that it can charge. I can't be too strict, but I don't like it. At least it's not overpriced, so most consumers won't be too disappointed. While you don't expect it to charge AA and AAA lithium batteries. It should be called HiQuick NI-MH 9V AA AAA Battery Charger for Rechargeable Batteries. The whole 9V lithium part should be a footnote. Why can a 9v socket work with both types but not AA and AAA sockets?

Cons
  • Big and clumsy
