Review on Black Amazon Basics Rapid USB Battery Charger for Ni-MH AA / AAA Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries by Katie Miller

Love this thing. As always, Amazon Basics offers an inexpensive product. Yes, the cable is short, but who doesn't have a drawer full of mini USB cables? Yes, blinking lights are hard to decipher at first, but you can google "Amazon Basics Fast Charger" and figure it out in seconds. If I drop it on hard floors at least 5 times and I even drive my car over it, it's still ok. It is ergonomic and pleasantly small. Batteries should be placed in pairs next to each other. Because of the fountain. Electricity. You can charge an empty battery and a full one at the same time as this fast charger will recognize this and not charge (but if you leave the batteries on for days I don't know what to say). I almost never write reviews, but after reading so many "fire hazard, waste of money, doesn't work" reviews I felt compelled to write. The risk of fire is almost certainly related to your electrical system. Something is wired incorrectly in your home that could cause things to melt or catch fire without turning off the safety switch or damaging the switch. You may have switched to different cords and plugs, or worse, you're plugging this 110V charger into a 220V line without a step-down converter or adapter designed to detect and prevent this. If you are like me and want the cheapest price with a decent brand. Is every Revain basic item a waste of money? The term "it doesn't work" is almost always due to user error, and I say that from experience. I don't want to look like I'm attacking anyone. This year we have enough disagreements and conflicts. I just don't think people realize the impact their 1 star rating actually has. This can result in the consumer losing out on a great product or feeling like they have to spend way more than they should. A bad review based on emotion can put even a small retailer out of business, and 2020 is full of such cases. In summary, I can say that this charger is the best I can offer for my money. IMHO, Amazon's basic accessories have been great and reliable, but that's just me. IMHO this fast charger is better than any I've had.
