Review on πŸ”‹ Tenergy TN486U 5-Bay Universal Battery Charger with LCD, Micro USB/Type C Input, for Rechargeable AA, AAA, C, D, and 9V Batteries by Kimberly Bryant

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works well but D batteries take time to charge

I bought this to charge 10,000mAh NI-MH Tenergy 4 cell D batteries. (Note: These are high capacity D batteries, not the ones you typically find in large department stores which only pack 1 AA battery in a D case). Charged 24 hours from 10% of the charge (once you put it). They were almost charged when I had to temporarily unplug the USB-C and then plug it back in. After that, the state of charge started near the starting point. It took another hour to fully charge. It is best to use a USB-C charger with a USB-C cable (not included) as it charges faster. About 20 hours compared to 24 hours with D cells, but can the charging time be shortened? The quality of the device seems to be good. The display is clear and easy to use.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
