Energizer Recharge Universal Charger for NiMH Rechargeable AA, AAA, C, D, and 9V Batteries

This is an outstanding charger. It's not the cheapo wall unit that holds only four batteries. This Energizer Family Charger holds twice as many batteries, and many more types. Even better, it can deliver a different level of charge to different batteries of the same type - so it's OK to charge your new Eneloop AA's along side your exhausted Duracell AA's. And those four fill just half of the charger. In the other half you can charge AAA, C, D, or even 9V batteries at the same time. And because it's a closed-lid device, the batteries are all kept in a single place protected from dust and ready to go at a moment's notice. Add the lid's separate charge-level indicators for each individual battery, and this charger beats every other consumer-grade model I have owned or seen. It even beats the professional-grade models we use at work. So why are some buyers' experiences negative? I'm convinced it's the batteries themselves. I have been using rechargeables for six years now, enough to know that all batteries are not equal. One obvious difference is the milli-amp hours rating on the package. But as engineering tests have shown, the actual batteries delivered often don't match that rating. But the most important factor isn't shown on any measurable rating on the package. We consumers want batteries that hold their charge after charging and can be recharged over and over without degrading. Without going too depp into the technologies involved, I'll state confidently that my Energizer and older-model Duracell rechargeable batteries fail to meet these expectations. Lots of people blame the charger, but it's the battery. Eneloop is hands-down the best at meeting onsumer expectations, and with Eneloops in this Energizer charger one achieves the dream. White-topped Duracells rank second, if you get a good batch. One telling sign is a battery set that ships pre-charged. That's a strong indication that the batteries themselves hold their charge for months, where lesser batteries hold a charge only a couple days after charging. This is true of my Energizer rechargeables even when I leave them in the charger for that "trickle". So my experience before Eneloop and a decent charger was the anti-dream. I invested in rechargeables, but the family had no confidence. The charged batteries all lost their charges by the time they were needed. Whenever the family needed replacement batteries in a toy, flashlight, remote control, or video game, my only viable answer was "I'll charge some overnight so you can use them in the morning". Therefore the wife regularly bought conventinoal batteries so we'd always have a ready-to-go solution, meaning I was receiving on return from my investment in rechargeables. Now it's all better. I have a dozen batteries upstairs ready for use immediately because they charged thoroughly and still hold their charge. We all have confidence in the current rechargeable solution, and we never buy conventional batteries anymore. In summary: If you want the best rechargeable battery experience possible today, get this charger with Eneloop batteries. If you can only get one or the other, the Eneloop batteries are the most important element. This charger is just a terrific addition to the capability offered by superior rechargeable batteries, primarily because it concurrently charges different batteries from different starting levels. The complete range of sizes is a huge plus, but only if you use rechargeables in all those sizes.

I dont know why there are some bad reviews on this unit! I am happy that I have found this item. It is sturdy and made out of hard plastic. As you would expect from a brand name like Energizer. The LCD panel on the top of the panel is very well though out. It shows you how much charge remaining until the batteries are fully charged.I find it extremely useful. And it takes almost all kinds of batteries. I mainly got this unit for C and D cells. But it take AAA & AA & 9V as well. You put the batteries inside the charger and shut the lid and it starts charging. Simple. And this is not expensive as well very reasonably priced. Go get it if you are looking for a good charger.

So far so good. Finally decided to purchase rechargeable batteries and charger. Size D and C for maglight flashlights. Time will tell. I kept a supply of disposable batteries. After 10 years, some actually died. Thought it was a faulty flashlight , but no ….expired batteries. So I will know something in another 10 years about the rechargeable type.

I just started using this a couple days ago again. I am currently without grid power. When I saw the green lights blinking I didn't know what was going on so I just kept letting it charge to see if they would change. I am charging this off a solar charger and I don't remember what's like with regular wall power. What happens is they go from blinking green, to green and then no lights when its charged. A little confusing at first. Works well for C, D and 9 Volt. I haven't tried it for AA or AAA. It could use a more snug fit to hold C and D batteries but gets the job done as long you make they batteries are connected right.

I've owned the $30 Tenergy smart charger and the $15 Tenergy charger. People complain that the lid is flimsy on this unit and it is, but so is Tenergy's. I owned it so I know. The Tenergy charger started breaking almost immediately but never stopped working. Almost all of the same complaints I see about this Energizer charger is very similiar to every problem I had with the Tenergy smart charger. The Tenergy smart charger is $10 more however. Also, though it hardly matters, the Tenergy charger doesn't look as nice as this one and the LCD screen on the lid is too easily broken on the Tenergy. The Tenergy charger was a bit noisy though I didn't mind that too much. The $15 dollar Tenergy isn't even worth mentioning. It's very heavy and takes MUCH longer to charge batteries than this one. It is also not a smart charger so it's on a timer which is most likely too little for your battery. Finally, I've only owned the Energizer charger for a day so I'll have to update later on its longevity. The charger came in 22 hours though my shipping was two day. Also, the charger's power adapter fits inside the charger when you're not using it, which helps with storage. It's light also which I like. Basically, all the larger chargers for D batteries are not very good, but at $20 a piece, this charger looks, feels, and does the job just a bit better than the rest and is cheaper also. I'm happy that I found this one to charge my 10000mah Tenergy D batteries.

Muy buen material y calidad del producto muy recomendado

This charger is not worth $45 bucks, its very "dumb" appliance. It has a single charging indicator light, that is confusing, it has a long green light strip and it turns off when charging for some set amount of time. To charge an additional amount, you have to unplug and re-plug the charger. Check out the user manual before buying, it only charges up to a certain mAh capacity. I bought Amazon Basics rechargeable D-cell NiMH batteries with 10,000 mAh each, but this charger only charges up to 2500 mAh for approximately 5 hours, so I have to unplug and replug approximately 4 times to get my batteries charged up to the 10,000 mAh capacity.

Very good quality and value! Just bought new batteries so I won't need it for awhile. I like to be prepared!

Good product

Carga rápido me gustó sirve con otras marcas.

Arrived with non uk plug and no convertor. I don't think this is legal in the UK.

This has been a great battery charger so far. We paired it with Amazon C batteries and it’s worked exactly as expected. I really like that it can charge different battery sizes, which makes it very versatile and practical to have around the house. Charging does take some time, but that hasn’t been an issue for us. Overall, a solid, reliable product that does what it’s supposed to do.

Works great as advertised. 5/5 stars .
