I use this unit to charge C-cell batteries (4 at a time)
It does charge them but.... I never know when they are done charging.
the unit does not come with a charge indicator.
The unit does not give them a full charge. only about 90% charged.
close but could be better.

Absolutely could not believe how easily this worked. Stuck it in the sunlight (even through the window) and it charged AAA, AA, C, and D cell rechargeables. Had to special order (through Amazon) the rechargeable Cs & Ds.
Only drawback is you can only charge four of one type at a time (no mixing of sizes). Includes a cord (see picture) for solar recharging certain equipment (like cell phones) but I don't have any way of testing that.

This was a gift for family living in a remote area in the Philippines. They don't have electricity in their home, but everybody there has a cell phone. This lets them charge the cell phones without paying to use somebody's generator. They've said it actually charges up the phones very quickly.

The solar powered charger is exactly what I was looking for. I totally drained my Tenergy "D" cell rechargeable batteries, put them in the solar charger, put the unit in a exterior window on the sunny side of the house for 10 hours & had a 90% charge in all four batteries. The solar charger works with all common battery types, AAA, AA, C, & D. Most good quality rechargeable batteries can be recharged up to 1000 times.

I do not understand why anyone who may be without power for a couple of days or couple of weeks could survive without a solar charger. You could stock up on regular batteries & and when they are dead you throw them out, what a waste.

What can I say? It recharged my 4 C Energizers in winter-level sunlight in one afternoon.

It does require you to recharge 4 batteries at once, can't handle 9V batteries, and if your cell phone power plug isn't one of the 4 types it attaches to, you're SOL. Other than that, it appears to do what it claims.

I got this in case of emergencies when there is no power to charge batteries for flashlights and other things we would need. The construction is a little flimsy so I hope it stays together, and seems a little expensive for what I got but I probably wont think that when there is no power.

A little pricey,but works really well.Using a multimeter,It puts out 8 volts on sunny days.I use it for aa and aaa.Takes around 4 hours to charge 4 800amh aaa batteries and around 6 or 7 hours to charge 4 aa 1200mah batteries.Really light weight.I would be careful not to drop it or bang it around,which isn't that hard to do.

This is a pretty basic solar charger, so keep that in mind when using.

There is no meter or LED to tell you if the batteries are still charging or if they are ready to go. Also keep in mind that you MUST charge four batteries at a time (AAA, AA, C or D cell) and not just two. The instructions are obviously written in a different language and then translated to English. You should be able to figure it out. There's some pigtails so that you can use this to charge other batteries - like maybe a cell phone of some such. But you'll need to be able to figure that out. The instructions are not much help here.

However, it does work. It's inexpensive. And afterall that's why you're looking at this product.

Most people reviewed this by saying it does what you want it to. That is true - I bought this with two sets of AAA rechargeable batteries for a baby monitor, and it feels great not having to buy new batteries every few weeks. I do wish this charger had a meter to let me know when the batteries in question are fully charged - I just remove the batteries when I need them (every four or five days), and they last. Overall, a good buy.

I appreciate that the device is compact and still adapts to 4 different classes of batteries. This product gives great peace of mind. The batteries operated perfectly. I used the Tenergy Premium rechargable batteries
