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

Say What? No Sagem

Advantages: Cheap, does what it says it can do
Disadvantages: Limited functionality

...just required the simplest and cheapest of options I chose the Sagem ITD58G from Argos at the then very reasonable price of just £26.99. ►►► What do you get in the box Before I get onto the contents, I have to say I am quite impressed with the amount of packaging, as although it comes in the usual cardboard box with polystyrene inserts and a plastic bag around the Sagem ITD58G, they have kept the size to a minimum, cutting down on the amount of wastage. Once you have unpacked the ITD58G, a first time user maybe a little disappointed as although you get the ITD58G, a remote control (with 2 batteries) and a user guide, you do not get any other cables, such as a Scart lead or standard RF lead. Fortunately, having already had a Freeview box, I had already got the necessary leads but sympathise with anyone who purchases...

Review of Sagem ITD58

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

What can I say about Sagem?

Advantages: Compact, lightweight.
Disadvantages: Very hard to follow manual.

...a huge risk. We are in an area that they claim cannot receive freeview, plus the upstairs Television has an aerial in the loft. But we bought one anyway, and we bought a Sagem ITD58. We had gone into argos planning to buy another make. Unfortunately it was out of stock. An alternative was given but it was £20 more. So I tried the Sagem which was only £10 more. To my surprise it was in stock (So why did I not get offered that!) and it was reduced to £5 less than the one we had originally chosen. We paid £35 for ours, but the next day the new catalogue came out and it had been reduced by another fiver. Grrrrrr!!! **The Unit** The Unit is fairly small compared to others. Measuring just 22cmsx13.5cms x3.5cms and weighing in at only 400g. It is a grey colour which will match most televisions, dvds, videos etc. The remote control is small...

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...

Sagem who are they?

Advantages: cheap,looks good,two scart connectors
Disadvantages: remote control ,instructions

...Freeview is a free digital tv service that you recieve through your aerial which is decoded by a freeview box once you have purchased the box the service is free hence the name Freeview. With freeview becoming more and more popular you should have no problem picking up a box for under thirty pounds.An important point to note is that you will need to check that you are in an area that can recieve digital tv broadcasts you can do this by visiting www.freeview.co.uk (if you enter your postcode they will tell you if you can recieve digital tv broadcasts) You will also need to check that your tv aerial is able to pickup digital tv transmissions(some older aerials are not suitable for recieving these transmissions).

Review of Sagem ITD 64

Small, Stylish, Silver, Sagem Shocker!

Advantages: Lightweight, Stylish, Unique, Colour Screen, In-Built Camera With Shutter! INFUSIO Games!
Disadvantages: No Bluetooth, No Java And Does Not Have A Rotating Camera!

...AHH! I have a new phone, well it isn?t that new, I have had it since September 24th! However, I decided to write this review a good few months after having the phone so I can explain the full range of its uses! Why did I get a new phone? As my trusty Phillips C12 charger broke and nowhere sells the charger for that phone, and well nobody sells that phone anymore! I had that phone for five wonderful years. I am not one of these people who feel that it is a necessity to have a new and up-to-date phone. So when I was left with the issue of buying a new phone I was left not knowing what I wanted! My first decision was to look about the Internet for what designs were about! I only looked on www.o2.co.uk as I am aware of the other tariffs available: Virgin, 3, Vodafone, Orange, T Mobile etc But I found them from what I have seen...

Review of SAGEM myX-6

My sagem My X-2

Advantages: cheap, durable, small, colour screen
Disadvantages: not as many features as more expensive phones, silent mode doesnt seem to work!

...I will admit I purchased this phone as a panic buy. My previous phone continually cut out, and I needed a new one, on a low budget. The cheapest one I could find at that time was the Sagem My X-2 which was on sale at Argos for £34.99. I wasn't expecting much from the phone at that price, and I have had Sagem phones previously and although they were functional, were not always top of the range, so I wasn't exactly confident, but seeing as I needed a phone (how did we ever live without them?!), and this was the only one in my price range(it must have been rent week) I decided to go for it. Appearance The phone is metallic blue and silver in colour - see picture, with a colour screen, this is the first phone Ive had with a colour screen, and the resolution is fairly good, although not as good as some of the camera phones. Its fairly...

Going Mobile--The Frustrations of Sagem

Advantages: cheap, small, light, PAYT
Disadvantages: odd menus, hard to text, bad customer service

...I am not the type of person who needs to have the latest technology, so I bought this phone from someone who no longer wanted it. However, she had lost the charger, and finding a new one was a nightmare. I think I went to about 25 mobile phone shops in London looking for a new charger for this phone. I went to the Sagem website, but the only charger they sold came with a leather carrying case and a contraption that enables the charger to sit on your desktop-- extra stuff I didn't want to pay for. But eventually, I had to shell out the £22 to get their over-priced packaged deal. The Sagem company wants you to buy an entire new phone if you lose the charger. --Customer Service-- I accidentally entered the wrong expiration date on my credit card when I ordered the charger online, so I had to call the company. They put me on hold...
