I bought this product for my power hungry digital camera which can't get enough of AA batteries. Since my digital camera only use AAs this little charger is adequate. After using it for about a month I very satisfied with it's performance and ease of use.

This product is rugged(kid tested), inexpensive and very functional as it allows you to charge both NiCd and NiMH. The batteries that come with it are NiMH so they do not have the "memory" problems of the NiCd. The only flaw I could find is that the instructions said that the light would turn green when the batteries were fully charged. In fact the light just went out. Otherwise it is a good solid product with a great price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good & compact charger, December 7, 2001

The charging time is faily long - about 12 hours for a full charge. The batteries are rated 1600 mAH and compare favorably with some major brands such as Energizer which has only 1400 mAH. The charger is very compact because the compartment holds 2 batteries in front of 2. Also, the plug can fold flat against the charger making this an excellent charger to take along on trips. The plug is located high on the charger. If you plug this into the lower outlet, the upper outlet is not blocked. Very good value especially considering the low price.

In good faith I ordered this battery charger which promptly arrived. The unit would not charge the batteries and the indicator lights would not work. It was returned to the manufacturer at a cost of ... and a different one was promptly sent.

The new unit arrived and would charge the batteries as indicated, but would not shut down when the batteries became fully charged. It had to cycle completely for 13 or 14 hours.

If you installed fully charged batteries the unit would not indicate this but would recharge the batteries again for a full cycle of 13-14 hours. The unit and batteries became very hot with no indication of the shutoff working.

I wrote to the company again and after the passing of nearly one month, they sent me another charger which did the same thing. Also they said they would call me for return instructions,which they did after three more weeks lapsed. They made arrangements to have the unit picked up and I stayed home for a full day waiting. I am still waiting for the pickup or some word from the company.

They are terrible and do not live up to their word. I would never buy from the company again.They also indicated that they had problems with the unit.
