Review of NiMH Batteries

the intelligent battery charger.

Advantages: Cheap, reliable, long lasting, reasonable price.
Disadvantages: Still gets warm. Plastic plug = breakable?

...believe that most of my batteries have charged in about 60 minutes, on a full charge from an empty battery. As well as getting the charger, which plugs straight into the wall it includes 4 x 2500mAh Ni-Mh AA's (which are in sliver, and look quite attractive, you won't get these thrown out as they definately stand out from panasonic and duracell) You can charge AAA batteries however the sale only comes with 4 AA batteries. It has a sensor control, a red and green light, to tell you when it is still charging and when the charge is fully complete. Another helpful feature is that it includes a car adapter for no extra cost. This charger the Sprint 90 accepts Ni-Mh and Ni-Cd batteries, in both AA and AAA Formats, charging them in sets of 2 or 4 at a time. Also charging 2 batteries will reduce the charging time. Overall the charger is quite...

Review of Uniross Sprint 90 min - Battery charger 4xAA/AAA - included batteries: 4 x AA type NiMH 2500 mAh

Uniross 1 Hour AA and AAA battery charger

Advantages: Easy to use with built in intelligent system
Disadvantages: Odd exterior design

...Having had a previous Uniross charger for several years which had provided a stirling service until it was dropped and broken, I wanted to stay with a manufacturer I knew and felt comfortable with. After hunting down several models I narrowed it down to this 1 hour charger (model no. AAB04541-3) which charges both AA and AAA batteries, either two or four at a tiime. It will also charge either Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries. It comes with a mains plug charger adaptor (100-240v) and a lead for plugging into your car cigar lighter socket. The Uniross 1 Hr Charger also has a built in intelligent charger system to save over loading the batteries which is a useful feature when one may tend to walk off and forget you have left some batteries charging. The 1 hour charging time is a little subjective depending on what power batteries you are...

Review of Uniross Sprint 1h - Battery charger 4xAA/AAA - included batteries: 4 x AA type NiMH 2500 mAh

Excellent Battery Charger

Advantages: Charging time of 5 hours, Includes 4 AA batteries, Compact design
Disadvantages: None

...The Uniross x-press 300 is a good charger which supports a range of different battery sizes. I bought this charger last year because I bought a wireless mouse and keyboard so made more sense getting rechargeable batteries rather than spending money on normal batteries every few weeks. I went with Uniross as they make decent rechargeable batteries and are well known for it. This x-press 300 charges AAA, AA & 9V size batteries. It lets you charge 2 or 4 AA/AAA and one 9V batteries of the same type at the same time. It's suitable for AA, AAA and 9V (PP3) NiCd and NiH batteries. To use AAA batteries you simply flip down a little holder within the charger and it will hold the AAA batteries to charge. The plug in design makes it easy to use and the built in mains transformer means there are no leads or adaptors. You simply plug it in...

Review of Uniross X-Press 300 - Battery charger - 5-9 hr - 4xAA/AAA, 2x9V - included batteries: 4 x AA type NiMH 2300 mAh

Uniross Ni-Cd & Ni-Mh battery charger (ref. RC101159)

Advantages: The stop charging facility
Disadvantages: not really

...There is not much to say about this, simply brilliant! Is very straight forward to use, only one switch to chose the type of battery to charge, insert the batteries, up to 4 depending of type, plug it in and wait until its charged. It comes with a charge indicator and will stop charging when the batteries are ready; a green light will come up. It can recharge batteries type AAA, AA and GF22, respectively up to 4, 4 and 2. I have purchased on a promotional campaign so the price is irrelevant, although you can find it at the big stores in promotion time to time. I have purchased another 2 battery chargers, a Uniross that only charges up to 4 AA type batteries but has the problem that you can?t forget to set a timer to unplug it or will over charge the batteries and will damage them. Another that allows all the type of rechargeable...

Hahnel NiMh 2350mAh AA Rechargeable Batteries

Advantages: Long Lasting, Durable, Cost Effective, Colour Coded
Disadvantages: None as yet !

...manual and they recommended rechargeable NiMH batteries. I had a battery charge already and in order to be able to financially continue my new pastime, I decided to invest in 4 New Hahnel NiMh 2350mAh AA Rechargeable Batteries. (NiMH - Nickel Metal Hydride) Hahnel was not a name I was familiar with, so I did a little research - they are part of hähnel industries ltd. Who manufacture accessories for the camera and camcorder market. The company is one of the leading manufactures of power products for camcorder and digital cameras. They are known for their innovative products, and have been in business for over 44 years. Sounded good to me, I went back on Ebay and found these reasonably priced at £6.59 for pack of four ('Buy Now' ). I sent off a cheque and batteries duly arrived a couple of days later. The new Hahnel batteries were...

Review of NiMH Batteries

Charge of the battery bridage!

Advantages: very compact, quick charging, easy to use
Disadvantages: none yet

...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...

Review of Uniross - Battery charger - 14 hr - 4xAA/AAA, 2x9V - included batteries: 4 x AA type NiMH 1300 mAh

No more need for batteries!

Advantages: Saves money on batteries, charges quickly
Disadvantages: Cable is a bit on the short side

...The play and charge kit allows you to replace the battery pack in your wireless controller with this rechargeable pack, and so there is no longer any need to keep buying batteries. It is very simple to use, just replace the battery pack with the rechargeable one and plug one end of the cable into the controller and the other into your Xbox 360. This will charge up your controller as you carry on playing, and so never again will you have to stop your gaming as you search high and low for those elusive batteries around the house (eventually taking the batteries out of the TV remote). At around £10-£15 for the cable and charge pack it is a fairly decent price for something that will save quite a bit of money on batteries in the future. It also charges fairly quickly and so you can remove the cable and have your wireless controller...

Review of Microsoft Microsoft Xbox 360 Play and Charge Kit - Battery and charger NiMH

Save some hard earned

Advantages: Save a fortune in the long run
Disadvantages: Initial outlay

...some at least can be recharged up to 1000 times. The charger I chose was the Uniross X - Press 150, which is currently available for around £3.99. All you need o do is plug in your batteries and recharge them a small leaflet comes with the charger to give times and indications of times for various types of rechargeable batteries. The reason for different types is that some are low amperage for radios and low power consumption devices, and the higher amperage batteries like the 2100mh are designed for high power devices such as digital cameras. The X-Press 150 has four battery positions which means it will charge 4 AA or 4 AAA batteries simultaneously. The battery holder is spring loaded to allow for the variation in the length of the two batteries. It will also charge the square PP3 type battery and will comfortably take two...

Review of Uniross X-Press 150 - Battery charger 4xAA/AAA, 2x9V - included batteries: 4 x AA type NiMH 2100 mAh

Why you may never need to buy batteries again

Advantages: Speed, reduce in cost of batterues
Disadvantages: battery time gets shorter as used more

...power my digital camera for about 6 hours with the screen on before dying. They also run my wireless optical mouse for about 2 weeks. If you have a lot of electrical items that use them, I recommend getting another set of 4 so you can have some charging or ready and others in use. One problem, however as with all rechargeable batteries is that as they are charged more, there battery life slowly shortens and need to be replaced. The best idea I hav found is to use the batteries during the day and charge them at night whilst sleeping, however Ir estrain from charging unless the battery is empty to increase the lifespan of the battery. The following batteries can be charged on this charger, though not at the same time unfortunately. AA batteries = 4 AAA batteries = 4 9V cell = 2 Overall this is a very good value set & highyl...
