4.0 out of 5 stars Cheap!, April 29, 2002

This may not be the top of the rechargable battery line but it works. There are a few things you might want to consider before buying. If you want a charger that automatically shuts off when done charging, this model isn't for you. It is capable of charging both AA and AAA batteries but nothing larger. The plug prongs on the back fold down for easier storage. You can charge other brands of NI-MH and Nl-Cd batteries but this one at least starts you off with 4 AAA NIMH rechargables. You could basically spend the money you would normally on disposables to buy this (how many batteries does your PDA eat?) Wouldn't it makes sense to give it a try?

2.0 out of 5 stars OK charger, bad batteries, August 7, 2002

The charger is somewhat larger than others I have purchased. The folding prongs help considerably when it is packed. One of the four included NiMH batteries was completely dead; the batteries are rated at only 600 mA-h, around half of the rating on the Monster batteries (so the PDA will run much less than half as long). The price is so good, however, that I'm not going to return it.

I really wanted to like this product. It can charge four batteries at a time and the prongs flip down for easier storage in a drawer. I'm pretty disappointed, though, that it takes so long to charge batteries (think days) and that it doesn't tell you when it's done charging. Two red LEDs tell you that batteries are connected and being charged front and/or back, but you could tell that much without the lights. I've got a Kodak charger for AA that functions much better, but I couldn't find anything other than the iConcepts for AAA.
