Amazon Basics 4 Slot Ni-MH AA & AAA Battery Charger With

 

While most chargers you give you a light indication that your batteries are charged this gives you a visual display of how much is charge is left in the batteries and when charging how much is left to go before it thinks its fulled charged the batteries (more on this shortly). The unit can charge either AA and AAA with a charge range of 4 to 7 hours depending on size of batteries you have on charge. To use its simple put the batteries into the charger before plugging into the means (i was using a UK version) and off it goes. The unit does test the batteries for damaged cells and will warn the you according to manual but as yet not come across this with the batteries i’m using.

Coming back to when it thinks its fulled charged the batteries. Unplugging the charger and plugging in again with the same batteries of which according to the display where fully charged about 3 minutes ago . It starts charging the batteries again admitting this time display flashing a 3/4 out of charge for two of them and 4/4 for third one instead of just 1/4 for all 3. Yet the device does come with Delta V cut off detection to protect from overcharge so its kind of concerning of is the unit actually over charging the same batteries only 3 mintue ago was fully charged according to the display unless indeed the batteries had lost some charge while sitting in the device yet this i find hard to believe.

Otherwise this is Fast No-Nonsense Charger that does what it says on the Tin.

Update – The Unit does display a warning message of bad cell when charging a battery that has a bad cell inside and will not charge it.
