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

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

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...

Ansmann MAXe Rechargeable Batteries

Advantages: ALWAYS ready for use.
Disadvantages: None.

...Rechargeable batteries. I have been using them for many years - from Ni-cd's through ordinary NiMH (more of which soon!) and more recently, these Ansmann Mignon NiMH hybrid batteries which are said to provide the benefits of both ordinary 'NON rechargeable' batteries and NiMH rechargeables. Well, do they? The older Ni-cd's were our only choice for rechargeable batteries a decade or so ago and very good they were too. You charged them, plonked them into whatever you owned that was compatible, and used them until they were exhausted. The great thing (then), was that unlike conventional batteries, Ni-cd's could be recharged many times. Terrific! Terrific? Well?. yes? - up to a point. Trouble was, they suffered something called 'memory' where unless each battery was 'completely' discharged prior to recharging, the charger could only...

Review of ANSMANN Mignon - Battery 4 x AA type Alkaline

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

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...

Review of ICP Solar Battery Saver

360 Rechargeable Battery

Advantages: battery life
Disadvantages: cost

...Here it is, the solution to the hassle of constantly swapping out batteries from the xbox 360 controller's battery pack. This product will definitely save you money as you'll be spending much less on AA batteries especially if you play your 360 a lot. This battery pack however is absolutely useless without the recharging chord or recharging dock. The rechargeable battery pack is very convenient but if you're playing with the controller while it's recharging the controller becomes a wired controller for a couple hours which is not necessarily a bad thing. Also I feel the price for this product is a little steep but I guess it does save you money in the long run. The batteries do last for a long time and I rarely recharge my batteries. This product is a must buy for hardcore 360 owners but for the casual gamer who only plays every...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack

WIRELESS BATTERY PACKS!!!

Advantages: WILL SAVE YOU MONEY!!!
Disadvantages: COST!!!

...built into the controller. So microsoft came up with the idea of... NUCLEAR POWER CONTROLLERS. But then they probably realised this would be to dangerous and powerful so they just settled for double "A" batterys. : ) The batterys will last for around 12 - 20 continuous hours depending on the type you use, but changing batterys almost every day gets very annoying, and expensive. If you have rechargable batterys you will save money instead of always throwing batterys way but why wait for batterys to recharge? Microsoft then came up with the idea of the battery pack. On a full charge it will last around 24 hours of gaming and can be on charge while in use! It will add a small amound of extra weight to the controller but not so that you would notice. This is all good! you can now have a charging pack so you no longer need to buy batterys...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack

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

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...
