Ansmann Energy 8 Charger Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used this charger for over four years with complete satisfaction. This is a fine piece of German engineering; well worth the price. I bought it because it can charge any number of any assortment of AA, AAA, C, D, 9V batteries at the same time, and lots of them. You can also insert new batteries at any time any others are charging. Here's a tip: Since each cell is monitored for charge level, you can leave batteries in the charger, indefinitely. That effectively counters the self-discharge problem older NiMH batteries have, since the batteries stored in this charger are kept at full charge. Of course, you'll want to buy eneloops (SANYO eneloop 4 Pack AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries, which I've used) or Ansmann Max E's (Ansman Max-E AA NiMh 2100 Mah LD, Ultra Low Discharge Batteries, Pack of 4, which I haven't used), with long shelf lives, from here on-out. This charger works fine with them, too. I'd like to see Ansmann provide some-sort of wall-mounting tabs or screw holes in this charger. I had to epoxy-on my own. Maybe they already have, it's been four years!

The energy 8 is equipped with a user interface and battery loading technique. After inserting the NiCd/NiMH rechargeable battery, a capacity quick test is performed for around 5 seconds. The user may then remove the cells or leave them in place so that a full diagnosis of the battery is executed and with damaged batteries a refreshing programm is invoked. Damaged cells are reactivated and the capacity of the battery is restored. Depending upon the condition of the inserted battery, the refreshing programm may cycle several times until the battery is regenerated.

Ansmann Energy 5207442/US 8 Plus Battery Charger and Maintenance Device Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very good charger for re-chargeable batteries. There's no LCD readout for capacity and all the other fancy stuff that others might have. The LED light read out for the different status modes while charging helps.
I had a bunch of Duracell batteries that didn't hold their charges for a long time but this charger managed to salvage a few of them by reconditioning them. I've heard many good things about the eneloop batteries from Sanyo so I'll be switching to those.
I'm happy with my Ansmann charger, it does it's job safely as allowable for the batteries.

Tenergy V3969A1 Plug-in Type Speedy Rechargeable Battery Charger for AA, AAA, 9V Batteries Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The description and pictures of this product don't give all the information. If you are buying for pedal boards, and wireless systems (mics, guitars and IEM) beware. The pictures don't show how the charging unit receives power from source. The plugs are mounted directly to the back of the unit which makes mounting the charger to a pedal board impossible.
Also the unit expects that you remove the batteries promptly after they are charged. With a 20 hour+ charging cycle for 9V (250mAh) that makes the timing difficult and annoying. If using as a musician look for a unit with AC adapter plug and that can handle leaving the battery in the unit as storage after charged.
On the plus side this is as cheap as they come. I will leave in the studio but not bring this on the road.

PowerEx MH-C9000 WizardOne Charger-Analyzer + 4 Pack AA NiMH Rechargeable Batteries Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The reason for this purchase was extreme frustration with two Duracell 15-minute chargers and a crudload of 2650 batteries I got to power four Canon Speedlite flashes. I couldn't get 10 minutes out of them before the flash recycling times made them unusable!
I bought the smart charger based on other reviews here so I'm just going to provide a few observations:
1. Excellent appearance - looks professional and well-made.
2. Read the instruction sheet carefully - there are multiple charge modes used at different times.
3. When the battery is inserted the charger prompts you for the charge mode, etc. Very easy to set up.
4. Every battery that hasn't been on this charger should go thru the Break-In mode - it takes almost two full days but the results are worth it. I just spent six hours at a local event using a lot of flash photography and didn't have to change out the batteries at all!
5. A regular charge can be done in about one hour.
6. They recommend "matching" the batteries based on their capacity (shown when charging is done) - I'm using a spreadsheet to track that and have put labels on each battery showing the battery number, capacity, and group it belongs to. Overkill perhaps but it's paid off so far.
7. Once you've used it a few times it becomes a lot easier.
8. The Duracell 15-minute chargers have been tossed - I'm not so sure that such a short charging time is good for batteries anyway.
9. I've already purchased another MH-C9000 as a backup and to charge more batteries in the same amount of time.
This is the first review I've ever posted - I see a lot of these and wonder if they were written by someone at the company that makes the product. I'm just a regular guy who is excited over finding something that solved a major problem in a big way.

Premium Solar Charger - Ultra Thin Solar Powered Backup Battery and Charger for Cell Phones, iPhone, iPod, and Most USB Powered Device - Also Includes Built-in LED Reading Light and Window / Windshield Suction Cups Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This charger comes with the panel, a standard mini-USB cable and suction cups to mount it to a window. I have an IPhone 3G. It does not come with an IPhone adapter cable, but mine plugs into the USB_OUT port just fine, no problems. The mini_IN plug is for charging the device using a computer or laptop if there is no sun. There are indicator lights on the back. Press the center button and 25-50-75-100% illuminates to give you an estimate of charge remaining on the panels internal battery. Nice little LED light. charged quickly in sunlight and just as quickly plugged into desktop. Great to have for power outages or when the elusive plug in an airport just doesn't materialize. This is a great little product worth the price shipped quickly and arrived on time. Very pleased and should probably be a spokesperson for the thing they way I've been showing it off everyone asks when they see it. I charged an almost dead IPhone and it still had 50% charge left. PLUS you can use the phone while the panel is charging it in the sun with the phone connected "real time". This is very very close in size to the iphone itself. Not big at all.

Duracell CEF14NC Charger with NiMH batteries (4 Pack) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The charger included in this package (Duracell CEF14NC) is also known as the 'Value Charger'. But in this case, it is just not a good value because:
1. It is a timer-based dumb charger, meaning that it doesn't detect when cells are full charged. It simply charges at 360mA for 6 hours and turns off. You have to wait until your cells are fully exhausted before recharging, otherwise they will be over-charged. With a 'smart' charger, you may choose to top-off your rechargeable cells any time.
2. It can only charge either 2 or 4 AA cells in pairs. This is very inconvenient if you have appliances that require odd number of cells.
3. It can only charge two AAA cells, and you cannot charge any more AA cells at the same time.
My advice is to get the CEF23DX4N package instead (*). It comes with four Duracell 'Pre Charged' cells (2xAA + 2xAAA), which are much better than ordinary NiMH cells. Most importantly, the included smart charger (CEF23) is superior to the 'value charger' in every aspect. It monitors individual cells during charging, has four status indicator lights instead of one, and it charges faster. It even comes with an car adapter, and doubles as an USB charger, too. Best of all, it costs about the same as this 'value' package!
[Updated Feb 15, 2010]
I have confirmed that the new Duracell 'Value Charger' has several improvements over the old model:
- Works from 100-240V AC (instead of just 120V AC)
- Able to charge 4 AAA at a time (instead of just two)
- Semi-smart charge termination (stops when BOTH cells are fully charged)
The only remaining drawback is thet it charges in pairs only.
(*) [Update on Oct 7, 2010]:
Duracell has discontinued the excellent CEF23 charger (at least in the US) last year. So prices for the remaining inventory have skyrocketed. If you need an inexpensive charger that can handle individual cell, consider the Sanyo eneloop MDR02 2-cell charger.

Lenmar PRO712 2500mAh AA/AAA NI-MH 90 Minute Battery Charger Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I fully recommend this Lenmar AA / AAA recharger. It is compact, easy to use and reliable. If you need 4 recharged batteries faster than the 90 minutes, get some additional batteries and keep them charged. They give you 4 good 2500 mAh AA batteries with the charger, so you may have enough batteries already.
I have recharged batteries for many years, beginning back with NI-CADs. Over the time I have had many chargers, Fast and average speed, Fancy and plain, expensive and inexpensive. Lenmar has always made Quality Batteries. I first became aware of Lenmar when rechargeable batteries was a specialty business around 2001, I believe. I now have over 20 AAs (Bulk Pack) and 9 AAAs. They just keep working, and in over 5 years, I have just had one Lenmar battery failure. Pretty impressive. Other brands have died much quicker. I was not aware that they made a charger AAA until now. If I could have found one when I bought my fancy recharger with separate LEDs for each cell, I would have been happier. The Fancy one with the different charging modes kept having circuit problems, and then one recharging area died. I also have an Energizer 15 min recharger, but it keeps pushing the AAA batteries out. Haven't been able to fix it, no matter how much I've tried. Get and use the Lenmar, at the excellent price here. You can't go wrong.
I do recommend cleaning the contacts with an pencil or artist eraser once every 6 months for oxidation, or spray the connections once with a good contact cleaner that coats the contacts. Both will help and neither will harm the charger.

Energizer CHFMWB-4 Easy Charger W/4 AA Rechargable Batteries Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this charger at a Target around a year ago and have been really happy with it. After researching the various chargers available at the time, I selected this one because:
1) it has an auto shut-off so you don't have run to unplug it after x hours
2) it has a "done" light (and a charging light) so you know if it's working and when it's done
3) it has an on/off button so you can leave it in the surge protector or outlet
4) it charges AA or AAA batteries
5) it comes with four AA batteries
6) the plug folds in like some of the Apple chargers so it can lie flat when in storage
7) Didn't buy it for this but it comes with three "skins" (covers); white, black, and I think the other is silver
8) Didn't buy it for this but I like the way it looks
8.5) I *think* it also has an indicator of a problem battery, like both lights lighting up or the done light being red or something, but I don't remember for certain and can't find the instructions
The only drawbacks I know of are:
1) it is larger than a lot of Energizer chargers (but I haven't found one of the smaller ones that shuts itself off reasonably -- suggestions welcome!)
2) you cannot charge ONE or THREE batteries; it has to be TWO or FOUR (and they have to go in the two left or two right slots if it is charging two batteries)
3) two of my slots stopped working a couple of weeks ago. The other two still work fine. I do not know if there was some kind of issue with my power or batteries. The two batteries in there died at the same time, but they were older and had been in a power-hungry camera so it could be that they leaked or were dead
All the same, it is the best charger I have found (given that I frequently need to charge AAs and that it is best for me to have clear indicators of charging and done, and an auto-shutoff) so I am getting another one. If only it could charge one at a time it would be perfect!
EDIT 12/19/07: of the two I just ordered, one seems to be working; and the other started charging its batteries and then the indicator lights stopped working and it never charged anything again -- those batteries nor any others.
So, quality control on these is not what it should be (2 out of 3 dead, in my small sample size). Pity, it's a great product when it works;-)
EDIT 01/10/08 (although should have posted 12/24): They got a replacement to me for the aforementioned defective one that for a long time UPS gave a delivery date of 3 weeks, HOWEVER it got to me within a few days ON DECEMBER 24. It worked properly, out of the box!! Very happy with product and service! If they'd let me, I would change my original rating of 4 to a 5.

AA and AAA Solar Battery Charger - Charge Your Batteries Via USB or Sun Power - Features Also Include a Battery Tester and USB Output for Charging Cell Phones, iPods/mp3s, and More Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Been into Solar Chargers for the past 6 months. Interest in solar charges grew from wanting to be prepared for emergencies. The electronic devices that I have are powered through AA, AAA, and USB sources. Therefore, my focus was on finding a solar charger that can power one or any combination of the three. This is the review of the XTG AA and AAA Solar Battery Charger.
I was hopeful as this solar charger is supposed to be able to charge both AA and AAA batteries. Many charges do not have the ability to charge AAA batteries. In addition, the solar charger has the ability to charge devices through a USB adapter. On the positive side, this charger did appear to have some ability to charge AA and AAA batteries, could use AA or AAA batteries to charge a device with a USB connection, there is a charge indicator for either the first AA or AAA battery position, and has a red LED light that turns on when you have a battery inserted and is in the process of charging.
The negatives, however, appear to lower the rating of this device significantly. First, the solar charger was not able to fully charge some of my AA or AAA batteries. I have used Eneloops, Energizer, and Duracell NiMH batteries ranging from brand new to a several years old, but only some of them reached top-level charge as indicated by the third, yellow-green light. Instead, the batteries only reached the mid-level charge indicated by the yellow-orange light, even after a complete full day of bright sun. New alkaline batteries and NiMH batteries charged in another device provide a full charge indication. Second, the level indicators are very vague with a red for low, yellow-orange for medium, and yellow-green LED for full charge. Third, there is no indication of the battery charge being completed. The red LED will remain on, even when I put in a fully charged NiMH. Fourth is that the device appears to be poorly constructed. I bought this device in new condition, but it appeared used when it arrived. The device itself had misaligned LEDs and the battery door did not appear to fit well.
Overall, I rate this XTG AA and AAA Solar Battery Charger a 3.0 out of 5.0 stars. The charger has a good concept and some function, but does not appear to execute the job well. Furthermore, the build quality is not what I have come to expect from XTG. Better performance and build quality would have raised its rating significantly. The XTG AA and AAA Solar Battery Charger is a disappointment compared to their SOL1500 Premium Solar Charger, which I rated a 4.8 out of 5.0 starts.

Canon CBK4-300 Rechargeable Battery and Charger Kit for PowerShot Cameras (Retail Package) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I usually stay with Canon accessories for my Canon cameras, just for the 'peace of mind' I can expect from the same manufacturer. But in this case, I see no reasons to choose this package (Canon CBK4-300 Battery and Charger Kit) just because of the brand name. Consider the following facts:
1. Canon is not a battery manufacturer. So those 2500mAh rechargeable NiMH cells are simply re-labeled from other vendors.
2. All 2500mA NiMH cells in the market are plagued by the problem of high self-discharge rate. That is, if you charge up a set of those AA cells and leave them in your camera for a few weeks, they may become completely drained before you can take any pictures.
For the price of this Canon battery and charger kit, you can buy an equally good 'smart' charger (for example, the Sony BCG-34HE4), plus eight of the latest generation LSD (low-self-discharge) cells such as SANYO eneloop, Rayovac Hybrid, or Kodak Pre-Charged. Even though their stated capacities appear lower at 2000-2100mAh, those cells can hold 80% of their charge for 6 months or longer. So you don't always have to recharge your camera's batteries the night before, and you can keep another set of charged batteries as standby. This makes LSD cells much more suitable for digital camera applications.
Personally, I have retired all of my old-genreation (2500mAh) NiMH cells, and am using only LSD cells in photo equipment now.

Kodak Digital Camera Battery Charger K8500-C Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased a Kodak Z812IS which came with 2 Kodak AA batterys. I took maybe 20 photos before the batterys died a death. I then tried rechargeable 2450mAh batterys, which the advertising told me would take up to 600 photos, I got 30. So with much trepidation I purchased Li-Ion charger and battery. On the first charge I took over 300 photos with the LCD screen on, and the occasional flash. The low battery indicator light did not even come on. What a pity Kodak don't include the pack with the camera. Excellent value for money.

Hitech iC-108UL Smart Quick Charger for AA and AAA Ni-MH / Ni-Cd Rechargeable Batteries Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros:
- Very cheap for a smart charger.
- Pretty fast at charging batteries. Takes something like 5 hours (I didn't keep track) for 4 dead Energizer 2500mAH nimh AA's. Much faster than my old dumb charger that just threw current at the batteries without regard for how full the batteries were.
- The microprocessor seems to be pretty good. Unplugging the charger with just charged batteries and plugging the charger back in causes the microprocessor to notice in a few minutes that the batteries are already charged and the LED's go to green.
- Manual claims that once the charging cycle is finished (LED's go green), the charger trickle charges.
- It is UL listed (class 2 battery charger, with some codes: 35JC; E204717)
- Universal AC adapter. Nice when traveling, not only because it works in any country, but because this design makes the charger very light (no heavy wall-wart transformer inside).
- Folding plug!
Cons:
- Charges in pairs. (you need two dead batteries to charge)
- Smells. It smells like chemicals, and does so especially while charging. At its worst, it can be smelled from a body-length's away. Edit... A month later... I left the charger outside on the porch for a week and it smells much better now (just a trace of chemicals)
Notes:
Batteries get hot when charging, but quick charging always does this.
I kept the package that the charger came in (it is reusable) and store it in there.
I didn't try Ni-cads, but for Ni-mh AA and AAA batteries, this charger does a good job.
Specs: Output 1.5V, 450mA. Dimensions: 106x66x30.5mm. Weight: 82g. Operating Temp 0-45C

Zeikos ZE-4AA Rechargeable AA 2900mAh Batteries (pack of 4) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After four complete changes and discharges and a refresh cycle in my nice LaCrosse charger, these have reached just over 700mAh charge. The LaCrosse 2600 rated batteries that came with that charger have reached 2100mAh ... withour the refresh.
These are pieces of CRAP. Do NOT BUY!

Ansmann 5207123 Energy 16 Charger Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I searched for 2 weeks for the "best" charger to fit my needs, current and future. This is what I came up with. I was a little skeptical about the lack of reviews on this charger, but decided to get one anyway, especially with its 3 year warranty. I still have some older 600maH Nicads in my "fleet" that I felt would not be best to charge with Maha's MH-C808M, which charges at 1000ma minimum. I was also unimpressed with the so-called "LCD display" on the 808. The LEDs on the Ansmann are capable of displaying everything you need to know about the charging mode and battery condition, making an LCD display unnecessary. In my opinion, an LCD display would only be desirable if it displayed the actual maH accumulated charge of each cell. I very much wanted to have that feature, but sadly there are no chargers currently on the market that charge C and D size cells, and offer maH display. To that end, the LaCrosse BC-900 was considered, but I would've had to buy 3 of them to charge as many batteries as this model, and still could not charge Cs, Ds, or 9Vs, which I may add to my collection. So far, I have only charged "AA" size Nimh and Nicads with this charger, but I am happy to report that both the Nicads and Nimh peaked out nicely after the brief "Refresh cycle" this charger gives them. I sample tested some of the charged batteries by resting them 24 hrs, then discharging them with my Dymond (hobby) charger/analyzer (at 0.5C), which discharges to 0.8V per cell. Most of the batteries actually discharged more than their rated capacity after being charged with this charger, so I would have to say the -dV circuitry employed in this unit is very good at charging each cell to full capacity, and considering that some of my Nicads are over 15 yrs old, I would say the refresh feature has done its job to bring back some lost capacity in these cells. At $119, this is possibly the most expensive charger on the market, but I am happy with my choice due to its ease of use and sheer number (also sizes) of batteries it can charge.

The energy 16 is equipped with a user interface and battery loading technique. After inserting the NiCd/NiMH rechargeable battery, a diagnosis of the battery is executed and with damaged batteries a refreshing programm is invoked. Damaged cells are reactivated and the capacity of the battery is restored. Depending upon the condition of the inserted battery, the refreshing programm will pass through several cycles until the battery is regenerated.
