Panasonic BQ-CC17KSBA eneloop Advanced Individual Battery Charger with 4 LED Charge Indicator Lights, Black

---------------------------Verdict: BUY---------------------------What people don't tell you about having a baby is that you will go through copious amounts of batteries! Every damn toy, noisemaker, monitor, etc. etc. requires an endless stream of batteries. So it is logical to make the jump to rechargeables (I did) which presents a new challenge, charging the batteries!I selected this Panasonic 'namebrand' product (which I don't normally do) because of two key advantages. The first being that it charges with a Delta-V cutoff to extend the life of your rechargeable Ni-Mh (Eneloop, Amazon Ni-Hm, ect) batteries. Other chargers tend to overcharge your batteries leading to failures and premature wear. The second reason is that this charger will charge batteries individually instead of pairs like most chargers.The thing works great and is definitely a tool you don't want to shortchange yourself on!Pros:---------------------------- Delta-V cutoff to extend the life of your rechargeable Ni-Mh batteries.- Charge batteries individually (instead of pairs)- Lightweight- Reliable- Charges fast and accurately.Cons:---------------------------- Takes up a wall outlet space.- Cnly comes in a model that charges four at a time.Tips:---------------------------- Only use and charge Ni-Mh Batteries- Save money and buy the Amazon brand Ni-Mh Batteries.

I like the compact size - I have another NiMH charger that I use for testing, discharging, conditioning etc. but wanted one for straight charging as well as something travel (the other charger has a large wall wart and cord that plugs into the charger itself). This unit is perfect - green lights come on when charging and go out when the cell is charged - they charge individually, not as a group, which is essential. So, I'm really happy with this choice.

I mean not much else to say besides the fact that it's really convenient.

The charger recharges the batteries at a slower pace which extends the life.

Worked for 6 months, bow not charging any batteries. Just blinking green lights. Trying to get product support from the website just says that the company field is not filled in, there is no company field

Works as it should.. tried several other brands with poor results. Seems to charge in reasonable time and fair purchase price. Don't know how long it will last, time will tell.

I have several of these. They charge individually, not in pairs like many chargers that look similar, so they optimize each battery much better and are more versatile than many others in this price range and size. They hold up, too.

Great little charger for the my AA and AAA batteries. Plugs into the wall with two prongs, both of which can fold to enable the charger to lay flat when not in use.
