POWEROWL POWEROWL AA AAA Rechargeable Battery Charger for NIMH/NICD with Smart LED Light and Plug(16 Bay)

This high volume battery charger is easy and terrific to use! It holds a large amount (see ad), easily applied( nubs to the inside). Convenient Red and green lights keep you apprised of the charging process. Ive run two full loads and Im very happy with it's function. It also serves as a battery tester..

Great charger. Charges Can mix different sizes during charge cycle. Indicates when charging and when battery not good.

Charger quelques batteries et fonctionne bien jusqu’à présent, indique les batteries défectueuses,

One of the reasons I purchased this charger (I now have two of them) is because of the fairly low charging rate. The charging rate for AA batteries is 200mA and for AAA batteries is 150 MA. I don't mind leaving the batteries to charge over night instead of quick charging them in an hour or two. Quick charging generally causes the batteries to get quite warm and shortens battery life (the number of re-charges it will take). That comes from my experience as well as technical info. from battery experts. This charger causes the batteries to only get very very slightly warm. The batteries fit in the slots nice and snug and the LED for each slot changing from red to green when it's complete is all you really need unless you're bent on having a fancy LCD display. It uses a 120V power cord which plugs directly into your wall outlet with no AC adapter. I did find that, if you charge 16 AA batteries at once, the center section of the unit gets quite warm. So, for the price, if you're concerned about the warmth of the charger, and if your interested in charging that many batteries at once, you can always purchase two and charge less than the full 16 at a time in each charger. To be honest, I wouldn't say it gets excessively warm so that is a fairly minor detail. All in all, I can't see any reason not to give this charger 5 stars.

Works well
