The Energizer Battery Charger

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

...I had been intending to purchase a battery charger for quite a while. In fact I had even dropped hints to certain family members around Christmas time, but to no avail. I was recently reminded of this missing piece of equipment in my life when I rediscovered the PC lead to my digital camera. Remembering that a pair of standard batteries lasted for only about 30 photos in this camera I decided that it was certainly time to invest in a battery charger and some rechargeable batteries. I purchased an Energizer CHDCW8 ? 4 battery charger from Argos for just £9.99. This decision was based on several factors, the most important of which was the price and what I considered to be the best value for money. The design also played a part in my decision process, but in the end it was the price/value that were the strongest influencing factors...

Review of Energizer CHDCWB-4 Battery Charger

Super Sony charger

Advantages: Fast Charge, Auto CutOff
Disadvantages: Only takes AA/AAA

...Getting fed up with constantly having to buy new batteries for our Wii remotes, we started looking into buying some of the rechargeable battery packs you can buy for them. I read a few reviews and decided that it would probably be better to buy a battery charger and a few sets of batteries instead. After looking around I found the Sony High Capacity Super Quick Charger For AA And AAA Batteries and for £16.99 with four AA batteries included it seemed like a good deal, almost all of our electrical items seem to be Sony so with it being a brand we trusted I bought it. The charger itself is fairly compact measuring 4" x 2½" x 1" (not including the power lead) it won't take up a lot of room, the power lead is also removable so you can store it away quite easily. The lead is also the same as the other Sony leads we have so if it gets...

Review of Sony Super Quick Charger BCG34HE4 - 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?

...---THE PRODUCT--- Definately glad to be an owner of one of these chargers, even though they seem quite pricey, the batteries are great as they are reusable, and you don't waste money on purchasing darn AA batteries, again and again. It's easy to use, don't take hours to charge like the previous models which took around 8 hours and meant that you had to leave it on over night, worrying that it would heat up and catch the house on fire. I wouldn't be without this, endlessly purchasing batteries for items. Furthermore you can't use ordinary batteries in Digital Camera's as they are drained after you've took three photo's with the flash on. These therefore are robust and useful in the long run and will save you money and time. ---MODEL--- The model number is. RC104318 It's full charge happens in about 90 minutes, however I...

Review of Uniross Sprint 90 min - 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 Samsung E300 Mobile Phone

A 'smart' charger worth buying

Advantages: Low cost, Car charger inc, fast charge times, battery charge detection
Disadvantages: Cautious on overcharging leaving batteries not 100% full

...I picked up this charger a few days ago for £8 with 4 1000mah AAA batteries which seemed like a great price to me for a 'Smart' charger. In the package I got the charger (quite slim) a standard plug adaptor and a car charger making it ideal to take around with you ensuring you never miss out on a photo perfect moment. The charger has space for 2 or 4 AA or AAA batteries and has quite a rapid charge time. Here are the charge times quoted by Uniross: Charging Times: AA 1300mAh : 120 mins, AA 2500mAh : 255mins, AAA 900mAh : 180 mins It is not the fastest charger around but clearly not the slowest. The main reason why I choose this charger was as it had a charge detection system allowing it to detect how much charge a battery needs until its full. This would be standard you would expect but still many chargers are sold which...

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

everyone say 'chheeeessssee'

Advantages: 8 mega pixels
Disadvantages: if you use it at 8 mp all the time - you'll need a large memory card

...days though! I managed to haggle 2 of these into the deal along with a spare battery and charger, which I have found essential. This camera has altered my opinon of digital cameras, and although not converted, I am happy with it. Being a graphic designer, I am able to manipulate the images nicely, but its not the same as using the old fashioned methods in a dark room. The automatic focus is excellent, as well as the zoom, so if you want a point and click camera, that does a bit more... this could be for you. If you like to be able to have a bit more control over your photographs then this could be for you too and if you fancy yourself as a press photgrapher than you can use the feature which takes continuous photographs ... a versatile little devil it is. Another good feature is that the flash only comes on when you tell it to...

Review of Olympus E-300

Sarah Louise ditches Nokia once more!

Advantages: Easy to use phone with a wide variety of features
Disadvantages: No major qualms - see review for further information

...days, the choice for my latest new phone was somewhat unlimited! I narrowed my choice down (largely due to finances) to about 5 or 6 phones. All of which had a higher quality camera. Some were bluetooth, others weren't. Some had video cameras, others didn't. But the one thing they all had in common (apart from the higher quality camera) was that they were all flipphones. I've never had one of these before so I thought it was about time I had a change! Plus I was getting sick of all my phone screens getting scratched so I thought this type of phone may help. After much Googling I finally opted for the Samsung E300. (I was initially thinking of getting the Samsung E710 but finances are short so I've put that on hold for the timebeing!) The Samsung E300's that I was coming across in my websearches were going for anywhere...

Review of Samsung E300 Mobile Phone

Tiny versatile charger

Advantages: Tiny, 12v Car Adaptor Included
Disadvantages: Battery compartment door falls off easily

...Uniross "Ultra Fast Charger" This charger takes up to 4 AA or AAA (slightly smaller than AA) sized batteries; charging either two or four at a time. It is capable of charging 4 batteries, either Ni-Cd's or Ni-MH type, in around 2 hours and is supplied with a mains power and a 12v cigarette lighter adaptor. 4 AA Ni-MH 1300 mAH batteries are included with the charger, though its worth investing in some 1800 mAH or 2000 mAH ones for digital camera use as they last a bit longer. This charger is around the £25 mark, but you should be able to get it for less if you shop around. Good value for such a versatile device. Its size (about the same as two packs of cards), weight (less than the batteries you put in it) and provision of a car charger makes it ideal to slip into a digital camera bag to recharge batteries on the move...
