Amazon Basics Battery Charger for Rechargeable AA and AAA NiMh Batteries – UK Plug, 4-Bay, Black

First thing to note is that the batteries are good. As a test, I have used them to power a toy, a tv remote and a game controller and have had no issues. I believe the Amazon Basics charger under-charges the batteries. I put them in an efest charger after they were fully charged and managed to put quite a bit more juice in them, over 100mah in fact. This is really just an observation rather than a criticism as the efest charger cost significantly more than the Amazon charger and I would expect it to be a better piece of kit to be fair.

Having now largely gone over to rechargeable batteries we were looking for a new charger. The old one by a well known manufacturer charged slowly, the batteries got very hot and we needed to pick a time where we’d be around to turn it off when it had charged them. This on the other hand charges both AA and AAA batteries quickly, has an automatic turn off when the charging is complete and even indicates when a battery has failed. It’s small and compact and therefore easy to store. So far we are very impressed and would definitely recommend it.

While most chargers you give you a light indication that your batteries are charged this gives you a visual display of how much is charge is left in the batteries and when charging how much is left to go before it thinks its fulled charged the batteries (more on this shortly). The unit can charge either AA and AAA with a charge range of 4 to 7 hours depending on size of batteries you have on charge. To use its simple put the batteries into the charger before plugging into the means (i was using a UK version) and off it goes. The unit does test the batteries for damaged cells and will warn the you according to manual but as yet not come across this with the batteries i'm using. Coming back to when it thinks its fulled charged the batteries. Unplugging the charger and plugging in again with the same batteries of which according to the display where fully charged about 3 minutes ago . It starts charging the batteries again admitting this time display flashing a 3/4 out of charge for two of them and 4/4 for third one instead of just 1/4 for all 3. Yet the device does come with Delta V cut off detection to protect from overcharge so its kind of concerning of is the unit actually over charging the same batteries only 3 mintue ago was fully charged according to the display unless indeed the batteries had lost some charge while sitting in the device yet this i find hard to believe. Otherwise this is Fast No-Nonsense Charger that does what it says on the Tin. Update - The Unit does display a warning message of bad cell when charging a battery that has a bad cell inside and will not charge it.

Recharges, all my batteries quite easily

Simple and effective charger - suitable for AAA & AA batteries

Good value for money it does just what you need it to do for both AA and AAA batteries.

Very, very useful to have around. Wouldnt be without it.

It seems like a good product. Let down by the lack of clear instructions. The charger states that slow blinking lights means charging and fast blinking lights means there is a fault. It seems like there is only fast blinking lights and faster blinking lights in reality which will leave you looking for reassurance the product isn’t faulty. The blinking lights as a default indicator are obviously annoying. Perfectly functional but I’d recommend spending a bit more and get one with a clearer charging indicator.

Ho acquistato questo pacco da 8 batterie per alimentare telecomandi e piccoli giocattoli. La carica dura a lungo e non ho riscontrato cali di prestazioni significativi dopo diversi cicli di ricarica. Sono un'ottima alternativa economica alle marche più blasonate. Consigliate per chi vuole risparmiare senza rinunciare all'affidabilità.

Piles rechargeables conformes à la description et fonctionnelles dès réception après charge. Bonne autonomie pour un usage classique sur télécommandes, capteurs ou petits appareils du quotidien. Pratiques avec le lot de 8. Bon rapport qualité/prix.

Works great
