4.0 out of 5 stars Has Auto Shut-Off and "Done" Light and "Charging" Light and Comes with 4 AA Batteries, December 5, 2007

By	_ "acaliforniancustomer" (SAN JOSE, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this charger at a Target around a year ago and have been really happy with it. After researching the various chargers available at the time, I selected this one because:
1) it has an auto shut-off so you don't have run to unplug it after x hours
2) it has a "done" light (and a charging light) so you know if it's working and when it's done
3) it has an on/off button so you can leave it in the surge protector or outlet
4) it charges AA or AAA batteries
5) it comes with four AA batteries
6) the plug folds in like some of the Apple chargers so it can lie flat when in storage
7) Didn't buy it for this but it comes with three "skins" (covers); white, black, and I think the other is silver
8) Didn't buy it for this but I like the way it looks
8.5) I *think* it also has an indicator of a problem battery, like both lights lighting up or the done light being red or something, but I don't remember for certain and can't find the instructions

The only drawbacks I know of are:
1) it is larger than a lot of Energizer chargers (but I haven't found one of the smaller ones that shuts itself off reasonably -- suggestions welcome!)
2) you cannot charge ONE or THREE batteries; it has to be TWO or FOUR (and they have to go in the two left or two right slots if it is charging two batteries)
3) two of my slots stopped working a couple of weeks ago. The other two still work fine. I do not know if there was some kind of issue with my power or batteries. The two batteries in there died at the same time, but they were older and had been in a power-hungry camera so it could be that they leaked or were dead

All the same, it is the best charger I have found (given that I frequently need to charge AAs and that it is best for me to have clear indicators of charging and done, and an auto-shutoff) so I am getting another one. If only it could charge one at a time it would be perfect!

EDIT 12/19/07: of the two I just ordered, one seems to be working; and the other started charging its batteries and then the indicator lights stopped working and it never charged anything again -- those batteries nor any others.

So, quality control on these is not what it should be (2 out of 3 dead, in my small sample size). Pity, it's a great product when it works;-)

EDIT 01/10/08 (although should have posted 12/24): They got a replacement to me for the aforementioned defective one that for a long time UPS gave a delivery date of 3 weeks, HOWEVER it got to me within a few days ON DECEMBER 24. It worked properly, out of the box!! Very happy with product and service! If they'd let me, I would change my original rating of 4 to a 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars great product!, November 16, 2008

Well the best thing about this is that it does not damage the batteries once the charging is complete and the convenient on/off button.

4.0 out of 5 stars works fine, June 21, 2008

By	HC (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews

I bought it from Wal-mart back around March. Mine has "CHFM1" engraved on the back; I'm not sure how it differs from the one here. It looks the same. I've not had any problems with it. I like the folding plug, the on/off button, the automatic shut-off, the "charging" and "done" indicator lights, and that it will charge AA and AAA. There is a large hole in the back so that you can push the batteries out for removal. It's approximately 5 3/8 in. x 3 1/2 in.

I've probably used it less than 10 times. I have no complaints.
