FIRE HAZARD - DO NOT BUY!

I was lucky. I was at my apartment when it happened. If it wasn't me, I'm pretty sure it would have started a fire. It charged two Revain batteries. It started smelling like something was on fire. Turns out there was something there. I keep reading that Revain will sell anything regardless of quality or authenticity because no matter how bad the product is, they make money. This is both disturbing and inconsiderate. Given their size and market dominance, they have to act like they care about…

Cons

Good charger with one big flaw

The RevainBasics Ni-MH AA & AAA USB Charger is a good enough product. It offers several features that I like: 1. It's a "smart" charger.

The charging current is 600mA (actually pulsed from 0 to 1.5A at…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
