Review on SEIVI 8 Bay Individual AA AAA Battery Charger: USB High-Speed Charging for Ni-MH Ni-CD Rechargeable Batteries by Jessica Gibson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

No more throwaway alkali for our Xbox 360 controllers

I bought the 8 AA battery option instead of the 4 AA and 4 AAA option. I wanted a charger that didn't require another large AC-DC adapter to sit on my power strip. This allows me to use a standard micro USB cable with an input current of at least 2A. The profile is thin with only a 5/8 top over the batteries with LED charge indicators along with the slot number. So this charger does not take up any space on the table. Charging time from empty to full can vary from 3 to 4.5 hours, but I can switch batteries through the Xbox controller if needed. I repurposed the included battery compartments to hold four batteries in my camera bag so they don't roll around in the bag. I use four AA batteries in my Godox flash and this flash can burn those rechargeable AA batteries in under an hour, but luckily I easily replace four more batteries when needed.

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • Expensive
