Customer Reviews of Duracell Value Charger With 4AA Pre Charged Rechargeable Nimh Batteries, CEF14DX4
Customer Review: LOOK FOR THE NEW DURACELL 15 MINUTE CHARGER
Summary: 5 Stars
The duracell 15 minute charger runs at about [...] bucks, but it works great! Seriously. It's better than the energizer charger and its energizer batteries.
I had gotten an energizer charger last year. Within months the charger went bad and I was recharging the AA energizer batteries on a generic charger. They take an hour to charge and if I don't use them they discharge on their own.
Not so with the duracell kind. They don't run dry on their own like the energizer ones. Be sure, however, to purchase the same batteries the 15 minute charger comes with.
I'm purchasing another pack of these babies, because the charger is so awesome and the batteries don't run dry by just sitting there.
Look, spend a few more bucks; it's worth it. Duracell rechargeable batteries with the 15 minute charger are THE BEST!
By the way, the charger also works with the energizer rechargeable batteries, and it charges them in 15 minutes. That's right. I said 15 minutes. However, duracell DOES NOT RECOMMEND THIS.
Aside from duracell or energizer recharegeable, DO NOT PLACE ANY OTHER KIND OF BATTERY; if you do the light will blink with an error and not charge them, so stick to duracell only, if for no other reason, their batteries stay charged!
Customer Review: Product description misleading ("Charges 4 AA or AAA batteries")
Summary: 3 Stars
EDIT: The below review is for an older version of the same model (the one in the photos from NLee the Engineer). The newer version *does* charge 4 AAA or AA batteries at once.
I don't really have any experience with other battery chargers, but this one seems OK to me so far (I've had it for 4 months now). My two cents:
- Yes, it charges 4 AA batteries at once. No, it doesn't charge 4 AAA batteries at once. Only 2 can be charged at a time, and it takes about 6 hours to do it. So, if you have something that takes 4 AAA batteries, be willing to wait at least 12 hours before a recharge.
- The light that indicates whether the battery has been charged is sometimes green after putting fully depleted batteries in there.
Other than the above two points, it's a decent charger.
Customer Review: Perfect for digital camera
Summary: 5 Stars
Not sure how Duracell did it, but they solved the one con with the Ni-mH type batteries. These pre-charged, Ni-mH batteries don't discharge when not being used, so they're perfect for digital devices. This charger with 4 batteries doesn't cost much more than just the 4 batteries alone. Here's what you do: acquire twice as many of these batteries w/ the green label as what your digital camera will take. While you're using one set in your camera keep the other set in this charger. Then, when the set in the camera go dead, just swap them out with the set that's in the charger. You've always got a set of fresh batteries and no waiting for batteries to charge, plus no buying batteries for a long time. This is more expensive initially but saves a lot of $$$ in the long run.Customer Review: Duracell Battery Recharger
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this recharger because I use wireless headphones for my TV. The headphones recharge their own batteries if I place them in their recharging cradle, but this requires me to get up out of a warm bed just when I'm done watching TV and ready to drift off to sleep and as a result I usually just place them on the night table. Eventually, the batteries die; this was a perfect solution: When my headphone batteries are depleted, I just swap them out with a freshly recharged set.
The charger is compact and light and can be left in the wall outlet (no wires to bother with). It recharges AA as well as the AAA required by my headphones. It even comes with a set of double AA batteries. Inexpensive as well. I highly recommend this recharger.
Customer Review: Good so far, used for Canon external flash, long charge time
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased for use in a Canon speedlight and so far, one charge, the batteries have performed as expected with no issues. I charged the batteries right out of the box, and there are two indicator lights that display when the batteries are charged. The lights turned green (charged) at different times and faster than the 6hr charge time on the back of the box. (must be the pre-charge) The charger unit is "smart" but I wish I would have looked harder for a faster charge rate. Overall the batteries are performing well and arrived as expected, but the charge time is a bit slow. Buy 8 batteries or a faster charger if you need a fast charge turn around.
