Energizer - Recharge Universal Compact Battery Charger - Black

Perfect charger for my sons toys, this charger recharges AA, AAA, C, D and 9V batteries.

I bought this to replace the practice of burning through disposable AA and 9-volt batteries in audio equipment. The AA batteries charged very quickly (up to 8 at a time), but the 9-volt battery (only one can be charged at a time) took well over 10 hours. If the battery was disconnected or the charger was unplugged, the charge meter on the charger would indicate that the 9-volt battery charge had dropped back to 0 and seemingly reset the charge process. A freshly charged (4 bars on the charge meter) AA battery would also drop back to a partial charge according to the charge meter when it was removed. I could have put up with this, but the automatic shut off stopped working and the AA batteries started overheating. I specifically got this model because it was supposed to be able to charge AAA, AA, C, D, and 9-volt batteries, but it does not seem to work well when trying to charge different types at the same time. The charge indicator seems to be very inaccurate and the layout of the battery connectors on the charger itself would benefit from more space. In my opinion, the product would work better if: 1. the adapter was not stowed in the charging compartment, but instead locked into place on one end as it's a hassle to move the spring-loaded sliders out of the way while trying to line up the plug on the adapter 2. the charging compartment itself was large enough to move the 9-volt connector out of the way of the first four AA terminals 3. the automatic shut off worked and the charge indicator was more accurate

This rechargeable battery charger works great. I have had it for about six months without any issues. I originally bought it so that I would be able to recharge C and D batteries, but I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that it charges 9V, AA, and AAA batteries as well! It is nice to have one charger for all of my batteries. Only two 9V batteries can charge at once, but four batteries of the rest of the other types of batteries can charge at once in pairs. I have used Energizer batteries and other brands of batteries in this charger. It recharges the batteries fast despite the brand. It has a green light indicator. The green is solid when the batteries are recharging, but it starts to blink when they are finished. The cord is long, so I always have enough to reach my outlet.

I have a lot of electronic items -- such as camera flashes, recorders, etc. that use a mix of AAA, AA, C and D batteries. I had a lot of rechargeable batteries and chargers and was constantly annoyed by two things: 1) I needed different chargers for different size batteries, and 2) my AAA and AA chargers could only charge four batteries at a time. I bought this unit so that I could have a single charger for all my batteries and so that I could charge up to 8 AA and AAA batteries at the same time. It accomplishes that goal but charges batteries much more quickly than I expected. If you use a lot of rechargeable batteries, this charger will make keeping your batteries charged much easier at a very reasonable cost. Highly recommended.

I got this because I have several batteries both size AA and AAA. This will charge both at the same time, and it even charges different kinds at once. It will charge the normal energizer batteries and the plus rechargeables.
