CyberSimba 5.0 out of 5 stars I love this charger and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Its a great charger for great price. Following are the points to consider: -It is so tiny that you can carry it anywhere with you -Works on 110-220v so you can use it anywhere in the world -It has a green light that keeps blinking once you connect it for charging and the green light automatically stops blinking as soon as the charging is complete. You don't have to worry if you keep it connected for longer than you need to. -Charger's connector pins that connect to the mains supply, flip in and out of the charger. This way the connector pins don't stick out when you are not using it. -Charges really fast. The batteries I keep on using get charged in just one hour. Charging time, however, depends on the batteries you have. You can check the manual of batteries you purchase. Out of different types of chargers I used and tried to shop for this was the best both in terms of quality and price. cheersPlease try again later. Please try again later. Gregor 5.0 out of 5 stars It slips easily into a camera bag pocket. http://www.vds-construct.pl/userfiles/breast-pump-manual-or-electric.xml

It has built-in fold out AC plug prongs, thus, no cord or power brick. This is not clearly documented, but I have tested the fact it will operate on 120 or 240V.Just make sure it states, 'FOREIGN AC100-240V' on the label underneath before you use it overseas. This charger is not a 'dumb' transformer based constant voltage device, but a smart charger using active electronics. No heavy transformer. The charger will charge 4 cells in 3 to 4 hours, depending on cell capacity and state of charge. This is a 'smart' charger. It will charge at higher current, getting the cells moderately warm, not dangerously so. When it detects near maximum charge, it switches to trickle mode, evidenced by the fact that the cells stay just barely warm, even several hours after the charge is 'complete.' When first plugged in, the green LED blinks to indicate regular charging, then changes to solid green when charged, and in trickle mode. I don't like leaving cells on trickle charge longer than overnight, so I unplug it. When I'm ready to use the batteries, I plug the charger back in, and the charge tops off after a few minutes (LED blinks for a few minutes, then goes solid when charger detects full charge). I'm sure this is a marketing ploy to sell more Panasonic batteries, as any reasonable person knows that all NiMH batteries are basically the same. In fact, its charging current of 550mA is similar to other fast chargers on the market. Also, the instruction sheet states you can charge regular NiCD as well as NiMH, and gives a chart of charge times for each type and capacity. I recommend this charger.Please try again later.

CW 4.0 out of 5 stars Other reviews have not noted that these cells, like most NiMH (except eneloop, self-discharge over time, and are rated at 1.2V rather than the 1.5V of alkalines. I have found the claim that these give longer life in digital cameras to be false. http://www.drupalitalia.org/node/75505

I frequently have to document a project site, often with well over 100 shots, and have had issues with some of the batteries. I suspect this may also be due to newer, smaller cameras only accepting 2 cells, to the 1.2V vs 1.5V rating, and to getting some underperforming cells in the batch. If you track each battery's voltage periodically the day after charging (after the cell has settled down from the surface charge), you can verify if some cells are not holding a good charge. If you check voltage after using them in pairs, and one is lower than another, you may want to mark this one for use it in non-critical applications, such as a remote control instead of a camera. Two of my 20 cells are untrustworthy.) Keeping alkaline spares in the camera case has saved my butt on more than one site visit, party, or outing.Please try again later. Please try again later. Jack Wang 5.0 out of 5 stars If you were giving this as a gift to your girl friend, it will not look so geeky as the other Sony, Kodak or Maxell chargers you can find on Amazon.com. Like the Sony Power Charger, it has advanced circuitry inside to monitor charging through temperature, voltage drop, or the cell's internal resistance, so that you'll get fuller charges and less damage from overcharging of simpler chargers. In other words, your NiMH cells will give you better performance as well as a longer service life. This breed of chargers also charge each cell individually, rather than in pairs. Less sophisticated chargers charge in series, so one cell in the pair may not receive full charge, while the other, worse, is overcharged. NiMH, unlike older NiCd's, does not tolerate overcharging. Because they have 3 times the capacity of NiCd's to refill, all at under 2 hours, you can see why chargers are so expensive, and why they're worth it. Panasonic has recently shifted their cell production from Japan to China, so you might get Chinese cells in the bundle. http://fradiomas.com/images/bpx1100.1-manual.pdf

If you need to charge 4 AAA at a time, look to the Sony Power Charger elsewhere on Amazon.com. It bundles 4 NiMH AA cells made by Sanyo for Sony, but charges more slowly, twice as long as this Panasonic. But that is also why it's somewhat cheaper.Please try again later. Please try again later. New York Bargain Hunter 5.0 out of 5 stars The cells I recieved were from Japan so no complaints here. They last as long as when I first bought them and the triple A's are perfect for my remote, it lasts forever it seems, must be at least 2 years since I charged the AAAs. Overall I thought it was a great bargain at 24.99, charges extremely quick, never goes hot, lightweight, stylish.Please try again later. Please try again later.

I don't do a ton of AA so swinging the money for a Maha 9000 is a little much, is this one a decent choice? Another newer charger that has generated some interest in another post is the BQ-C01 or BQ-CC01 I have charged cells from 1200 to 2700 mah and now mostly eneloops. These work as described by you and they do not overheat your cells at all while putting a good charge into them. The are the smallest charger I can find, so great for travel. Takes about 3-4 hours to recharge cells. I can find them in the US but they seem to be all over Canada. One thing I wish they did was trickle charge but they do not. RobI think it did like 550mA x4 and all the slots were individual so you could charge a single cell at a time.Would never get hot but just warm. All in all, its a great charger and while I don't use it anymore (gave it to my sister) I imagine it'll see more years of usage without problems. Thing is built like a tank, I've put it through some heavy usage.Opinions?

To start viewing messages,I already have a Panasonic BQ-390 quick charger, and the online manual says that it can handle 1-4 AA's with typical charging time of about 120 minutes (for the Panasonic rechargeable 2100mAh batteries). I have been reading on here about how a lot of the Eneloop chargers can't charge just 1 battery (or 2 uneven batteries together), and that's important to me. If I can use this charger then I prefer not to spend the money on another one. Any other good place to pick up 8 or 10 Eneloops.If it's a NiMH charger, it should work fine.If it's a NiMH charger, it should work fine.The output says 550mAx4 or 430mAx2.

I want to have my non-LSD NiMHs ready to be used at any time, but we don't need to change batteries very often in this house, about once or twice a month or so I'd say. It seems I have 4 options to achieve this: Apparently this does help them hold a charge longer, but it also makes them crystallize faster, reducing their capacity. If anyone has a mAh capacity tester that can see if this is true or not, I'd appreciate it! I don't know if this is a better idea than 3) or not. I also don't know what timer settings to use, 2 hours every 24 hours is one example I've heard.

I also don't know what timer settings to use, 2 hours every 24 hours is one example I've heard. If the batteries remain warm on charge after the normal charging period, its probably better to use them rather than leave them charging any longer Ni-Cd cells in particular thrived on hard work, they worked better if fast-charged, but needed extreme measures to avoid overcharging damage.

There is a lot of information on the Internet about rechargeable batteries that can be confusing. I am going to try to summarize some of this plus add some tips of my own experiences. I welcome comments with your own experiences. Some of my information came from these websites: Battery Info This website sells batteries and charges. Batteries in a portable world Battery University Both of these websites are sponsored by a company called Cadex that makes battery chargers. Rechargeable Batteries and Chargers: A Personal Perspective With many products you have no choice of what type battery you can use, e.g., laptops, cordless toothbrushes. Some like cordless drills you can select the type when you buy, NiCd, NiMH, Li-Ion. With many products that use standard battery sizes, especially, AAA and AA, you can select the type of battery to use. Add Tip Ask Question Comment Download Step 1: AA AAA Batteries, Cameras It is simply incredible how much stuff use these batteries especially if you are a Geek like I am. See pictures. Many products come with alkaline (or zinc carbon) batteries. When they give out, I will always try to replace them with rechargeables. The basic alkaline (and zinc-carbon) battery is 1.5Volts. The basic NiCd and NiMH battery is 1.2Volts so may not work. Many newer products, like my Canon camera are actually designed to work with either voltage and battery type but many older products will not or may only work on a freshly charged NiMH and may not last as long. I think I have an atomic clock and a couple of remote controls that won’t work with NiMH and one of my blood pressure cuffs will only work for a short time on AAA NiMH. Suggestion: If you try rechargeable NiMH and they do not work, then switch back to alkaline. Or you might try rechargeable alkalines. Recharging akaline batteries: I do not do this but have read the following. First, make sure your charger is capable of charging alkalines. Most are not. Second each time you recharge an alkaline, it will have less and less charge and will not last as long. Third many people report that when they tried to recharge regular alkalines, they leaked. This is rather messy as (I believe) this is an acid. (as a reader pointed out) alkali, a very caustic substance. Not recommended. Alkaline batteries are pretty cheap anymore. Digital Cameras: My Canon camera will work with alkaline batteries or NiMH batteries. This is true of many digital cameras. Most users find that the alkaline batteries don't last as long as NiMH batteries and recommend using NIMH batteries. I do. However, it you suddenly find yourself with discharged batteries, it is nice to know you always have the option of buying and using alkaline batteries.A 2500 mAH battery should be able to provide 2500 mA for one hour or 1250 mA for two hours. C: Is the charge rate of a charger. 1C means that the charge current is equal to the capacity so a 3000mA battery will be charged at 3000mA for one hour. 0.5C means 1500mA for two hours. Load current or drain: The amount of energy that can be drawn from the battery immediately. A high drain product draws a lot of current continuously. Self Discharge: Many batteries will slowly discharge if left in storage. This is especially true for NiCd and NiMH batteries. LSD: A newer type of NiMH called Low Self Discharge. They won’t self discharge as much while sitting on the shelf or being shipped to the customer. While convenient, I don’t think they’re worth the extra cost, yet (2011). There are two basic types of batteries: primary and secondary. Primary batteries are disposable. The old dry cells were zinc carbon, the more common are the alkalines. A newer type is the lithium (not Lithium Ion). The advantage of the lithium is higher drain performance. They are not rechargeable. Secondary batteries are rechargeable. There are three main types of secondary (rechargeable) batteries based on chemistry: NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) Li-Ion (Lithium Ion) Do not confuse Li-Ion batteries with Lithium batteries. Lithium batteries are not rechargeable. Lesser known are: Lithium Ion Polymer Reusable Alkaline NiCd and NiMH batteries Good: Higher drain performance. They will last longer in higher drain electronics, like digital cameras with flash and cordless power tools. Can be recharged many times. Bad: Self Discharge Problem: When not being used, Nickel-based batteries will lose some of their capacity over time. Wikipedia says NiMH will lose 5-10 after one day and another 1 every day after at room temperature. Self Discharge Fix: Some suggest leaving NiMH batteries on a charger, trickle charging. I, and most websites suggest removing the battery within a day of being charged because leaving them on can lead to overcharging and overheating. However, they may require a recharge before usage which is often inconvenient. Another possible fix is freezing or refrigerating (See separate step). What is actually going on is controversial but what it means is that after many partial discharges and recharges, they have less capacity than before. In other words a full charged battery will not last as long. Memory problem Fixes: To reduce this problem, most websites recommend that NiCd batteries should be fully discharged once a month. Technically, this means the battery is discharged from 1.2 V to 1.0 V. Practically, this means running the device, drill, cell phone, whatever until it no longer works or shuts off. Be careful with some products like flashlights that may discharge too far, much less than 1 V. Another possible fix is freezing (See separate step). Now if a NiCd or NiMH battery still has a memory problem, there often is a another way to repair it. This is called reconditioning and will be discussed in another Step. Li-ion batteries Good: Higher drain performance. Li-ion batteries do not have the memory problem. Bad: Lifetime Problem: They do have another problem which is a limited life time strictly due to aging. Lifetime Fixes: Do not fully discharge the battery. Leave the battery or device on the charger even after it’s fully charged. Try to keep battery cool. Some products can use different types of batteries. My Canon camera can use alkaline or NiMH batteries. For some cellphones (I think), you can buy different types of batteries Products with standard size batteries, AAA, AA, C and D can often work with different types of batteries. One of the main advantages of using rechargeables is cost. Alkaline and lithium batteries have to be discarded after they are discharged. Rechargeables may be a little more expensive than alkalines but they can be recharged many times. For most applications I would recommend rechargeable NiMH if they work because: NiCd batteries contain Cadmium which is toxic. Probably for that reason, they are not as popular and harder to find. A good example is cordless power tools. Drills can be bought using NiCd, NiMH or Li-Ion batteries. Recommended by toolmonger.com and myself: Buy Li-Ion tools if you can afford it, otherwise buy NiCd. NiCds are supposed to have higher capacity for heavy duty power tools than NiMHs. I actually own one of each, both made by Makita. The Li-Ion is nice because I can leave it for a long time and it still retains its charge. The NiCd will lose it charge in a few days and have to be recharged. The manual for my Makita Li-Ion drill says: Charge the battery before completely discharged. Change the battery when the drill starts to slow down. Never charge a fully charged battery. Overcharging. Let a hot battery cool to room temperature before cooling. My recommendations Li-Ion power tools: Do not discharge all the way. Do not run in hot environment (if possible). Charge often. My NiCd drill and batteries are probably 8 or so years old so the batteries don’t last very long. I don't use it very often so I had to recharge a battery before I could use it. I ran both batteries down a couple of times (see picture) by wrapping some house wiring around the switch and letting it discharge. After the batteries cooled off, I recharged them. They seem to run a little better and don't self discharge as much. I also tried discharging my cousins Skil drill (see picture) a couple of times and saw a big improvement in run time. Freezing: I also stuck one of my NiCds in the freezer. Freezing NiCds is controversial. Several sites, including some manufacturers say you shouldn't do this. Some websites suggest doing this to get rid of memory problems. I tried this but saw no improvements. Now most websites that do recommend freezing say you should put them in a plastic bag so that they won't absorb moisture. I agree. Now many websites say freezing will greatly reduce the self discharge problem. This is the main reason I tried this. PROBLEM: Most websites recommend that you take the battery out of the freezer and let it come back to room temperature. Now, for me this defeats the purpose as I just want to use my drill immediately. If I still have to wait a couple of hours, I might as well just put in on the charger instead of freezing it. SOLUTION: Well, I decided to try it right out of the freezer. It seemed to work fine. Now I haven't experimented much with this and cannot recommend it. But, at your own risk, you might try freezing your battery for immediate use. Make sure the battery is dry. Power tool battery replacements: Lots of stores and websites sell replacement batteries for power tools. Some places like Batteries Plus will actually replace the batteries in a power tool battery pack. Most of these battery packs have multiple cells in them. Remember the standard NiCd battery is 1.2V so to get a 12 volt battery pack, there will probably be 10 cells in it. Now I had a Hitachi cordless drill with two battery packs. They wouldn't hold a charge so I opened them up (see picture). Some of the cells appeared to be dead. I decided to take some battery cells from one pack and put them in the other one to try to make one good battery pack. Failed: The first problem is that the cells are connected with those metal strips that are mechanically attached to the cell. Well, I was able to solder to them. But the biggest problem is that replacing a couple of 'bad' cells, just caused some others to fail. After doing some research on battery packs, this is understandable. Recommendation: If you want to replace cells in a battery pack, replace all of them with new ones with the same capacity and close to the original battery capacity. You might think higher capacity battery cells would last longer but it depends on if the battery charger can fully charge them. Please recycle all old batteries. My local Home Depot, Ace hardware and Batteries Plus will recycle batteries. My recommendations NiCd power tools: Once every month or so, discharge all the way and recharge. Do not leave on charger once it's charged. Remove from tool if not being used for a while (Don’t know if this really helps and I don’t do this). Now if you don't use your power tool that often, you will probably have to recharge it before use.
