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

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

Good battery charger for it's price

Advantages: Charges quickly, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Doesn't feel too strong... Not much of a problem.

...I bought this so that I wouldnt' have to keep paying for batteries all the time for my camera. Most battery chargers cost a lot more than this one did (I bought this one for about £12, from Amazon), so it was good to get a deal on it. The package includes the charger itself, 4 AA batteries and a car adapter, so you can charge your batteries in the car. The batteries are easy to insert, there are two spring-loaded extensions that spring out. These are so you can charge AAA batteries as well, and they fold away when you're charging AA batteries. I find that charging batteries doesn't take very much time at all, I just leave them in for a short while and after a short while the red light turns green to show that the charge is complete. The build of the charger doesn't seem very strong, it feels rather plasticky. However, I haven't had...

Review of Uniross X-Press 700 - Battery charger - AC / car 4xAA/AAA - included batteries: 4 x AA type 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

The Energizer Battery Charger

Advantages: Good value for money
Disadvantages: Takes a long time to charge batteries

..., which is simple yet effective. This saves the necessity of having a separate plug and also looks neater. Two of the AA size batteries were already inserted into the charger to demonstrate which way round they go, but if you look closely there is a + and - sign marked on the charger so it is clear which way up they are to be inserted. This charger is capable of charging either two AA size batteries or four AAA size batteries. It is possible to charge a mixture of both sizes at the same time but all the spacers must be full or it will not work. When loaded up correctly and plugged in a green light illuminates to indicate that the charging process has begun. When all of the batteries are fully charged this light goes out, but there is a safety feature which ensures that the batteries can not be overcharged. This charger comes...

Review of Energizer CHDCWB-4 Battery Charger

Energizer AA 2500 mAh Rechargeable Batteries

Advantages: Long Life
Disadvantages: Exspensive

...Hi today I will be reviewing Energizer AA 2500 mAh Rechargeable Batteries. Price You can buy these from Amazon for cheapest £7.05 I got them for £10 from B&Q and I got a charger as well. Life I recommend fully charging these for first time use. I put them on for a day. From the full charge I managed to get a week use out of them. I use them in my Xbox 360 Controllers which are used by me and my brothers so they were on for most of the week. Charge While using the official charger for this product it takes around 6 hours to charge fully (Overnight). Size I find that these batteries are a little larger than the usual AA batteries because in my Xbox controller when I first got them in they took quite a lot of force to get them out again. After using them for quite a lot it seems to have stretched the battery pack so it...

Review of Energizer 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

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...

Review of Uniross Photo - Battery charger - 14 hr - 4xAA/AAA, 2x9V - included batteries: 4 x AA type NiMH 1700 mAh

Recharge your batteries the compact way.

Advantages: Compact, charges AA and AAA
Disadvantages: No European plug adapter

...eye sight will struggle to read them. Pictures come with the instructions and these are a lot larger. As the charger is easy to use the pictures are all you will need to use the charger. ~<*>~Charger~<*>~ The charger weighs only 132grams Hight 3.3" Width 3" Depth 1" The charger seems well made and should least. The case is a dull silver plastic with black sides which have dimples on so you can grip better to slide open the bottom part where the batteries go. Only Nickel metal hydride (NiMA) batteries can be charged using this charger. Once open the battery charger will take 4 X AA or 4 X AAA batteries or 2 of each battery or 2 batteries of the same type, but you can not charge only 1 battery. + and - polarity are clearly marked so you can not insert the batteries in the wrong way. If you do the green light on the front will...

Review of Energizer CHDCWB-4 Battery Charger

Let the Sun save your battery

Advantages: Helps prevent flat batteries; achieves longer battery life
Disadvantages: None

...As a student with an ageing car, my mileage was irregular and the car was often parked outside, so keeping the battery charged was a continual challenge. The car could be guaranteed not to start at the most awkward of moments. A trickle-charger was an essential piece of equipment but even it was of no use if I couldn?t find anywhere to plug it in within reach of where I could park the car safely. Removing the battery was a cumbersome alternative. I became adept at using jump leads too but there were times I wished I didn?t have to. I wish someone had thought of the solar-powered battery saver at that time. Nowadays my battery is more likely to run down through all the so-called ?key-off electronic drains? (radios, clocks, alarms and use of other devices that work through the cigar lighter), or through doing too many short...
