Review on EBL 8-Pack AAA Rechargeable Batteries With 1100MAh Capacity, Smart C807 Battery Charger, And Micro USB Charging Cable by Ken Wilson

Expectations (met): Charges batteries with clear progress indicationPros+ Design. This company put a lot of thought into the design of the batteries and the charger. The batteries are easy on the eyes and the charger is very functional. The progress lights are clear, RED = empty, GREEN (flashing) = charging, GREEN (solid) = ready. The lights activate individually instead of in pairs like similar chargers in the market. Some chargers require the user to charge two batteries at once instead of one. My favorite part of the design is the open slot behind the batteries that makes them very easy to remove. You can remove the charger and pop them out with a push or scoop them out with your finger. Other chargers make you pry the batteries out individually, and this manufacturer understands how tedious that can be!+ Price. The price of the charger and batteries is very competitive in the single-use and multi-use battery market. If the batteries and charger last as long as the manufacturer promises then the value of these rechargeable batteries is clearly superior to non-rechargeable ones.Cons- Smart packaging wasted. The batteries come in small plastic containers that can hold 4 of the batteries at once. However using these protective cases is not functionally-sound. The cases can only fit AAA batteries and they open and close with a clasp, making taking them out and putting them back in a bit of a task. It'd be better if the manufacturer designed a purposeful and reusable package for the batteries. Something that I can actually use again and again in the future. If not then it may be better to ditch the expensive packaging and switch to a thin plastic casing or bag instead in order to reduce the cost/price point of the product.SummaryThis product has a creative and functional design that satisfies all the consumer's rechargeable battery needs.
