I brought this battery charger just after Christmas, after being given a new digital camera and completely wearing the batteries down within 2 days, ha ha simple things eh? I was originally looking to buy some new rechargeable batteries which were compatible with the camera but after a bit of research, decided to get this smart little charger.
I purchased this item from Argos and the pack included:
An Uniross Photo Battery Charger 4 AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries
This pack cost me £17.99 but as one pair of rechargeable batteries were in the region of £6-7, this to me seems quite reasonable (at last, SOMETHING I found to be a bargain!), but since doing some research on the net, I have found the same product to be slightly cheaper on certain websites.
The instructions with the pack were to allow the supplied batteries to charge for 16 hours for their first charge, so you will need to plan in case you need the batteries urgently.
The charger itself is silver in colour and measures approx 3 and ½ inches X 2 inches, being slightly rounded at the top. It is compact and easy enough to fit into a small space into the mains. The plug prongs are directly on the reverse of the charger so there are no wires to worry about tucking in, etc…
There is a switch in the middle of the charger to allow the user the option of recharging either Ni-CD batteries or NI-MH batteries, this switch is marked but the writing is very small so those of us who have visual problems might have difficulty distinguishing which is which side.
The charger’s output is as follows:
AA batteries = 2 x (2.8V) AAA batteries = 2 x (2.8V) 9V cell = 2 x (9V)
The chambers for the batteries are easy access and there is a light which shows red whilst the charging is taking place and turns green when the batteries are ready for use, so no guessing games needed. Just plug in and go.
Overall, this battery charger is smart to the eye, easy to use and does the job perfectly (and I'm glad I got 4 batteries in with the deal, now I get to play with my camera as much as I want!)
