Energizer - Recharge Universal Compact Battery Charger - Black

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

I have the battery candles and there is no way I'm buying more batteries to keep them going.

It is truly universal: accept all rechargable battery sizes. Easy to use. Hope it will last long.

You need a battery charged? This is your tool! charges very quickly and can charge any size battery between AAA, 9v, and D batteries. (does anyone use D batteries for anything anymore?) For almost all your battery charging needs, this is your charger! I will say that it can be a bit odd getting the AAA and AA in there without it getting weird and fiddly sometimes.

Bought this battery charger and some rechargeable 'C' cell batteries. Worked great for those so now I have purchased 'AA' cells. Now I won't need to keep buying batteries.

It’s okay...it works. It’s a bit clunky. They used to have one that plugged into, and hung on, the wall outlet. This one is on a cord Also you have to charge batteries in pairs, you can’t charge just 1 AAA battery, it won’t work. Again, seems to be fine, just not quite right.

used once works so far wished it charged all 8 batteries at once.

With the spread of Covid 19, we're trying to put an end to the spontaneous trip to the store for safety. Recharging batteries will save us money in the long run and hopefully keep us safe from unnecessary exposure.
