Best AA and AAA chargers available!

I have 3 of these and wouldn't buy any other brand. Would be nice if the display were easier to read but that is not what I bought them for. Since also recommended by many pro's who write photography books, what else can you ask for! They are expensive but the best! KB

A good charger!

Good charger, comes with handy storage case for 8 batteries so you don't have to keep them loose.

A few years ago, I bought two of these units. They have performed flawlessly since then. I bought this new one because I wanted the capability of 24 rechargeable batteries at the same time. ... I use them for multiple off camera flash units, and for the remote flash triggers. One can never have enough power.

Great product!

Works but Mfg. Skimped on Power Supply Cord length

By Gary

Date: 2018-06-06

So far, I've had to place the charger on my floor because I can't put it on my desk due to the short 26" cord length to a heafty power brick - the brick's weight pulls the charger down or it pops a wheely at the desk edge (See my image).� This kind of hidden stuff is really frustrating. Could have been a 5 star review ... this charger isn't inexpensive.

With this charger you will definitely longer lives for your AA/AAA batteries. The size is a little to big, big cables, not very practical on the go, but if you can manage it, it's worth it!

Great charger, but a problem for Aussies.

You sent me the cord with a plug that does not fit Australian powerpoints. You sent the American plug, so I had to go an buy the correct cord.

Do I need to condition and soft charge brand new powerex batteries or just soft charge them?
Asked by: Anonymous
Soft charging the Powerex MH-C801D batteries is only needed for lower power batteries or if you are not in a hurry. As well, these batteries only need to be conditioned every 10-20 normal charge/discharge cycles.
