Customer Reviews of Energizer Rechargeable 15 Minute ChargerCustomer Review: Fast and Convenient -- Works as Advertized, Even With Eneloop Summary: 4 Stars
This charger has a few advantages over other battery chargers on the market. As the name implies, the charging speed is much faster (about 8x) than typical models. Yet, as other reviewers mentioned, the fan continues to below for several minutes after the charging has completed so one can argue that with appropriate cooling, the total time is longer than the 15 minutes stated by the manufacturer. Even so, it operates dramatically faster than other chargers I have tested.
In addition to its rapid charging ability, this charger differs from most chargers in its ability to charge one to four batteries, which do not need to be paired. If you have devices with three batteries, you will find this feature particularly helpful. Unfortunately, the manufacturer chose to have only one status LED for all four battery slots, so the user has no easy way of determining which battery is bad or fully charged.
This charger has worked well with a number of NiMh batteries, including slow self-discharge Eneloop AA and AAA batteries. However, it appears to be having problems charging my Duracell 2650 mah AA batteries. These are the best AA batteries I have ever used but have exhibited what appear to be false bad battery indications with other chargers too. It may be that this model of battery has a capacity so large that it confuses the chargers' circuitry, including the Energizer 15 minute charger.
In total, the Energize 15 minute charger is superior to other chargers I have used. It is an excellent choice for those users who do not wish to wait the typical two hours of charging time required by conventional chargers.
