Customer Review: battery charger
Summary: 1 Stars
The first time I tried to use this charger it did not work. When I plugged it in the charging light did not come on. A friend who is an electrical engineer checked it out with his volt meter and verified that it did not work.
I bought a new and different charger that does work. I kept the batteries from the first unit so now I have 8 rechargeable batteries.
I did not try to return the bad unit yet as I went on a trip with my new camera.
Customer Review: Dead first time out
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this from Amazon for Christmas 2009 to accompany the digital camera I was giving my wife. The non-rechargable batteries we put in the camera lasted until April. Then, I plugged in the charger with the so-called rechargable batteries. When the light showed green, I unplugged the charger and batteries. The next day, I put the batteries in the camera which immediately reported "battery exhausted". I feel like I wasted the money I spent.Customer Review: Great Deal on AA Nickel Metal Hydride Charger & Batteries
Summary: 5 Stars
These were one of those items on the side of the page that caught my eye. The 4 AAs are 2700 milli-amp-hours (mah) which is the highest capacity I've seen. Duracell NiMH in AA are 1800 mah, for comparison. The charger is quite nice as well, with a 2 or 4 battery selector switch, a wall charger, and a mobile adapter for your car. I'd say either the batteries or the charger are both worth the price, so I bought 4 of them for my model helicopters.Customer Review: Doesn't work for me
Summary: 1 Stars
The charger and/or batteries are obviously defective on the unit I received.
The green "charged" light comes on even when there is no charge in the
batteries. Leaving the batteries in the charger for as long as a week seems
to make no difference - the batteries will charge up enough for about 3 shots
in my digital camera, and then - nothing. This seems to be a very hit-or-
miss product, based on other reviews.
Customer Review: Was defective out of the box. Only one side charges 2 batteries.
Summary: 2 Stars
On first usage, I noticed the next morning that only one pair of batteries showed a green light. I tested all four and it seemed like they were all charged, but the charge didn't hold when I tried to use them in my camera about a week later. Nimh batteries are supposed to keep their charge much longer. I got this at special pricing (around $6 or $7) due to my camera purchase, so I didn't bother sending it back at any additional cost.
