(More customer reviews)Sakar 1-hour charger
Would be wonderful -- if it actually worked. 1*
This package has so much going for it that I really wanted it to work as advertised. Great form factor, including an ingenious switch between AA and AAA operation (though it would be nice if this were detailed in the instructions, since it's not really obvious) and an included connector for charging in a car. There's even a spiffy blue LCD display that supposedly indicates charge process and faulty batteries. For the price (about half amazon's at the local computer shoppe), a great buy.
The only problem is that it just doesn't seem to produce batteries with a usable charge. To be honest, I don't know if that's the charger's fault or the fault of the included AA cells. I returned it before purchasing other batteries to try it with.
My test bed was a CD "Walkman" type player that used 2 AA cells. A typical pair of non-rechargeable batteries plays ... well, quite a few CDs, maybe 8 or 10. I'd be happy if I just got that many uses out of a charge, but the package claims they'll last "up to" 4 times as long as regular batteries. So I eagerly charge up a set until the LCD claims they're full, about the claimed 1 hour (I wasn't really tracking the time), and try them out. 15 minutes later, I'm shaking my CD player to try and get it started again, to no avail. This time I charged all 4 cells, and left them in several hours in case the indicator was faulty. This worked better. One set lasted 70 minutes, the other 60.
Given the similar problems reported for the similar Digital Concepts AC/DC Rapid ChargerDigital Concepts AC/DC Rapid Charger with 4 AA Rechargeable 1800 MAH NIMH Batteries, which unfortunately I didn't read before purchasing this one, I didn't waste any more time and effort.
