Rayovac Rechargeable Battery Charger AAA Review

I removed the top cover because it got in the way. When I saw how dirty it was, I regretted not leaving it on. I use it for Ni-MH AAA and AA batteries. What I like best is that it can charge one battery at a time. I have several flashlights that only run on 3 batteries. That's enough for 3 batteries.

So look for recommended NIMH type AA batteries. After stopping by a few stores and having sticker shock, I went to the local Wmart and found this charger for about $12 with two batteries included.

You can expect about two recharges from alkaline batteries. The reason this charger can charge regular alkaline batteries (where other chargers can't) is…
