Review on High-Efficiency 8-Bay AA/AAA Battery Charger for Rechargeable Ni-MH/Ni-CD AA Batteries - Quick Charge, Independent Slot Design by Marklen Baeskens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Useful power supply

For all of our household needs, AA and AAA batteries are a must. Remote controls are just one example. We had bought a similar pack from a large warehouse, but even batteries have a limited lifespan (total number of charges). The old charger had a green/red indicator and nobody knew how charged or empty the battery was. We love the indicator bar that shows the battery level and the fact that you can use USB-C or USB Micro. So it is possible to charge with an old phone charger, a new phone charger or a computer. Good. The only problem with these batteries is the charging time. In particular, I connected the charger to one charger with all eight batteries and left it for several hours until all the bars were full. I then swapped out the charger for another charger (one with a micro USB cable, the other with USB-C) and the two batteries showed alternating bars and took 2 hours to charge. I repeated this 3 times until further pumping indicated all batteries were fully charged. Maybe it only happens once, but maybe just in case - let them charge for a whole day.

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • It's hard to remember, but it was
