Poor packaging: household batteries, chargers and accessories

This is my second battery to try. The first had problems with the springs where the battery pack is placed for charging. The second didn't even bother to pack a box for protection. Just the box it was made in and the ends weren't even sealed with tape. I've tried several batteries and yes it does charge the batteries a bit but not to the full extent as when I first bought it. I use a lot of batteries so I decided to give it another try to see how well it would charge all sizes.

Pros
  • ALSO SERVES AS A BATTERY TESTER: This charger also has a built-in battery test function; Batteries not included
Cons
  • Only available in black

New must-have home appliance

Looking at my 1 gallon plastic bag of batteries for recycling I thought how great it would be if I could get a little more life out of them. Then I found an ad for this charger in Popular Mechanics and decided to give it a try. And it really works! Every battery is now a rechargeable battery. I charged several Energizer batteries which read about 1.0v on my multimeter and after charging it went up to 1.4v; good enough for most household needs. If you have kids, chances are you're using…

Pros
  • PATENTED 5-IN-1 CHARGER: This charger charges Alkaline, Titanium, RAM, NiCd and NiMH batteries. See Description below for a breakdown of recharge potential
Cons
  • Very Expensive

Popular Mechanics Battery Recharger - not worth the money

I figured if Pop Mechanics put their name on something I could count on it. Was I ever wrong It works out? Yes and no. In the best case; worst case scenario, not in your lifetime. I have thoroughly tested this charger with all types and brands of acceptable batteries except those already rechargeable, from AAA to D and 9 volts. In fact, for some reason the 9 volt battery performed exceptionally well, most of the time charging to a voltage well above the new battery's 10+ volt voltage. However…

Pros
  • CHARGING DISPOSABLE OR RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES: This unique charger can charge ALKALINE batteries, not just rechargeable
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
