Energizer Recharge Universal Charger for NiMH Rechargeable AA, AAA, C, D, and 9V Batteries

I've owned the $30 Tenergy smart charger and the $15 Tenergy charger. People complain that the lid is flimsy on this unit and it is, but so is Tenergy's. I owned it so I know. The Tenergy charger started breaking almost immediately but never stopped working. Almost all of the same complaints I see about this Energizer charger is very similiar to every problem I had with the Tenergy smart charger. The Tenergy smart charger is $10 more however. Also, though it hardly matters, the Tenergy charger doesn't look as nice as this one and the LCD screen on the lid is too easily broken on the Tenergy. The Tenergy charger was a bit noisy though I didn't mind that too much. The $15 dollar Tenergy isn't even worth mentioning. It's very heavy and takes MUCH longer to charge batteries than this one. It is also not a smart charger so it's on a timer which is most likely too little for your battery. Finally, I've only owned the Energizer charger for a day so I'll have to update later on its longevity. The charger came in 22 hours though my shipping was two day. Also, the charger's power adapter fits inside the charger when you're not using it, which helps with storage. It's light also which I like. Basically, all the larger chargers for D batteries are not very good, but at $20 a piece, this charger looks, feels, and does the job just a bit better than the rest and is cheaper also. I'm happy that I found this one to charge my 10000mah Tenergy D batteries.

This is an outstanding charger. It's not the cheapo wall unit that holds only four batteries. This Energizer Family Charger holds twice as many batteries, and many more types. Even better, it can deliver a different level of charge to different batteries of the same type - so it's OK to charge your new Eneloop AA's along side your exhausted Duracell AA's. And those four fill just half of the charger. In the other half you can charge AAA, C, D, or even 9V batteries at the same time. And because it's a closed-lid device, the batteries are all kept in a single place protected from dust and ready to go at a moment's notice. Add the lid's separate charge-level indicators for each individual battery, and this charger beats every other consumer-grade model I have owned or seen. It even beats the professional-grade models we use at work. So why are some buyers' experiences negative? I'm convinced it's the batteries themselves. I have been using rechargeables for six years now, enough to know that all batteries are not equal. One obvious difference is the milli-amp hours rating on the package. But as engineering tests have shown, the actual batteries delivered often don't match that rating. But the most important factor isn't shown on any measurable rating on the package. We consumers want batteries that hold their charge after charging and can be recharged over and over without degrading. Without going too depp into the technologies involved, I'll state confidently that my Energizer and older-model Duracell rechargeable batteries fail to meet these expectations. Lots of people blame the charger, but it's the battery. Eneloop is hands-down the best at meeting onsumer expectations, and with Eneloops in this Energizer charger one achieves the dream. White-topped Duracells rank second, if you get a good batch. One telling sign is a battery set that ships pre-charged. That's a strong indication that the batteries themselves hold their charge for months, where lesser batteries hold a charge only a couple days after charging. This is true of my Energizer rechargeables even when I leave them in the charger for that "trickle". So my experience before Eneloop and a decent charger was the anti-dream. I invested in rechargeables, but the family had no confidence. The charged batteries all lost their charges by the time they were needed. Whenever the family needed replacement batteries in a toy, flashlight, remote control, or video game, my only viable answer was "I'll charge some overnight so you can use them in the morning". Therefore the wife regularly bought conventinoal batteries so we'd always have a ready-to-go solution, meaning I was receiving on return from my investment in rechargeables. Now it's all better. I have a dozen batteries upstairs ready for use immediately because they charged thoroughly and still hold their charge. We all have confidence in the current rechargeable solution, and we never buy conventional batteries anymore. In summary: If you want the best rechargeable battery experience possible today, get this charger with Eneloop batteries. If you can only get one or the other, the Eneloop batteries are the most important element. This charger is just a terrific addition to the capability offered by superior rechargeable batteries, primarily because it concurrently charges different batteries from different starting levels. The complete range of sizes is a huge plus, but only if you use rechargeables in all those sizes.

I love this charger. As it says universal charger. I reside in Germany and work with the US forces. As such, I constantly searched for a battery charger that would charge different size batteries and work on 220 Volt. Well, this is it. I purchased one about two years ago, along with Enloop AA, AAA, D and 9 Volt. Charged them all numerous times, and use the AA both inside and in outdoor solar lights. Have to change the outside ones every year for a good recharge inside and then outside again for another year. So the negative ratings, don't know what you did, but I am very happy with this charger, as I take it camping, on ocean cruises and use around the house. Sp happy, I will probable buy a second one for camping alone. We use it in flashlights, battery powered candles, battery charged Christmas lights, all remote control units, etc. So get a life, buy this charge, Enloop batteries, and save money.

I got this charger in June 2019 and the charger has now quit charging, I first though it was the batteries even though they were not that old, so I got new/more aaa batteries but that did not change anything. Now i cant get the lights to turn on and it won't charge any size of battery. But when you break it down 2.5 years is not offal but I would have liked to see more for almost a $40 charger. Over all it was not a bad charger while it worked, and it probably saved me tons of money with 2 kids and all their toys.

Good charger with good indicators. Better than my previous ones. Charges batteries efficiently good. And indicates the condition of batteries if could be charged energizer. Haven't tried charging other brands. Best to buy some of the latest model energizers they do a full charge with this charger.

I’m quite disappointed with this charger. I bought it specifically to charge D cell batteries, but it doesn’t fully charge them. The green light is supposed to indicate when the batteries are fully charged, but it turns off before they are. I use these batteries in a baby swing, and when fully charged, they last for two weeks. However, after being charged with this charger, they only last for two days.

So far so good. Finally decided to purchase rechargeable batteries and charger. Size D and C for maglight flashlights. Time will tell. I kept a supply of disposable batteries. After 10 years, some actually died. Thought it was a faulty flashlight , but no ….expired batteries. So I will know something in another 10 years about the rechargeable type.

Great

Excelente compra

Good product

Arrived with non uk plug and no convertor. I don't think this is legal in the UK.

This has been a great battery charger so far. We paired it with Amazon C batteries and it’s worked exactly as expected. I really like that it can charge different battery sizes, which makes it very versatile and practical to have around the house. Charging does take some time, but that hasn’t been an issue for us. Overall, a solid, reliable product that does what it’s supposed to do.

Excelente. Juguetes de mi hijo ocupaban pilas y casi se acababan en una semana o máximo dos, com esto he recargado las baterías y sin problemas funcionan. Además, el aparato a diferencia de otros cargadores tienen la función de apagarse automáticamente cuando ya están cargadas, entonces las dejas en la noche antes de dormir y ya en la mañana están listos.
