POWEROWL 16 Bay AA AAA Battery Charger (Updated, High Speed Charging) with Smart LED Light and Plug, for NIMH NICD Rechargeable Batteries and More

This high volume battery charger is easy and terrific to use! It holds a large amount (see ad), easily applied( nubs to the inside). Convenient Red and green lights keep you apprised of the charging process. Ive run two full loads and Im very happy with it's function. It also serves as a battery tester..

One of the reasons I purchased this charger (I now have two of them) is because of the fairly low charging rate. The charging rate for AA batteries is 200mA and for AAA batteries is 150 MA. I don't mind leaving the batteries to charge over night instead of quick charging them in an hour or two. Quick charging generally causes the batteries to get quite warm and shortens battery life (the number of re-charges it will take). That comes from my experience as well as technical info. from battery experts. This charger causes the batteries to only get very very slightly warm. The batteries fit in the slots nice and snug and the LED for each slot changing from red to green when it's complete is all you really need unless you're bent on having a fancy LCD display. It uses a 120V power cord which plugs directly into your wall outlet with no AC adapter. I did find that, if you charge 16 AA batteries at once, the center section of the unit gets quite warm. So, for the price, if you're concerned about the warmth of the charger, and if your interested in charging that many batteries at once, you can always purchase two and charge less than the full 16 at a time in each charger. To be honest, I wouldn't say it gets excessively warm so that is a fairly minor detail. All in all, I can't see any reason not to give this charger 5 stars.

I recently purchased the POWEROWL 16 Bay AA AAA Battery Charger and I must say, I'm extremely impressed! The updated high-speed charging is a game changer, allowing me to quickly charge all my batteries in a fraction of the time it used to take. The smart LED light is also incredibly helpful, indicating when each battery is fully charged and ready to use. I love the fact that this charger can accommodate both NIMH and NICD rechargeable batteries, making it incredibly versatile and convenient for all my needs. The 16 bays are also a great feature, allowing me to charge a large number of batteries at once, saving me time and hassle. The design of this charger is also top-notch. It is sleek and compact, taking up very little space on my desk. The plug is also very sturdy and fits snugly into the wall, ensuring a reliable connection every time. Overall, I highly recommend the POWEROWL 16 Bay AA AAA Battery Charger to anyone in need of a reliable and efficient battery charging solution. It's a must-have for anyone who wants to keep their batteries charged and ready to go at all times. Five stars!

I just bought this at Christmas for the entire household to charge 24 NiMh AA's and 24 AAA's. I got tired of reaching for alkaline replacement batteries only to find out we'd run out. Then I'd go to a local retailer and spend more than $1 apiece for name brand disposable AA's or AAA's. So, I'm switching over to NiMh rechargeables wherever I can. What I like about this is the simplicity. I can charge up to 16 AA or AAA batteries at a time in any mix. But I suspect that other than charging them all initially, that will almost never happen as the batteries will never all deplete at the same time. They will run out of energy based on the application and the usage and there will probably never be more than 4 to 6 batteries charging at one time. Maybe a once a year recharge for all the batteries that have been sitting unused for months. What I like..... 1.) Gets 16 batteries up and running at a time. 2.) No need to charge in pairs. 16 separate charging circuits. Charge even or odd numbers of batteries. Charge AA's and AAA's at the same time in any mix. 3.) Thermal and overcurrent protection for batteries along with short circuit protection. 4.) Current automatically reduced to trickle charge when full to preserve battery capacity. 5.) Multi stage charging. Pre charge test. Max charging. Float charge. Trickle Charge. All automatic. 6.) "Repair". If a battery has been discharged to a low voltage the charger can recover the battery. 7.) Simple to use. Plug in a battery. Red light = charging. Green light = fully charged. 8.) The provisions for convection cooling seem good, even with all 16 slots in use. The charger never gets more than slightly warm to the touch. That's in part due to the low 200 ma charging current. What I don't like..... 1.) Charging speed is slow. AA's limited to one current, 200 ma. AAA's limited to 150 ma. Other chargers will allow a range of charging like 300, 500, 800, or 1,000 ma. That will reduce charging times significantly. It can also reduce battery capacity and overall battery life. It's a double edged sword. 2.) There is no readout for battery capacity or voltage. So you won't be able to tell if or when a battery is reaching the end of its useful life. I may buy a separate tester for that. I don't expect it to be a problem with 48 new top brand NiMh batteries for at least a few years. So this is a basic charger that covers all the important safety and convenience issues and can handle a large number of batteries at once. But it has a very low, one speed charge. So long wait times, but very gentle charging of batteries. Not a problem for me. I bought enough batteries that I can grab a fresh set and toss the depleted ones in the charger for 12 hours. I don't need them charged in 2 hours. So if you're the OCD type who stresses out of the capacity of every battery every time you charge it or, you're the impatient type who needs your batteries charged as fast as possible, this no frills charger may not be for you. But I just want the easiest simplest solution with the least effort from me. I don't want to damage the batteries I own. And I'm not looking to start any house fires. I'm willing to buy more batteries to make sure I'm never caught in a situation where I run out of usable batteries. This charger is fine for me.

Bought this to charge the rechargeable batteries I bought on Amazon. Everything seems to work well together.

This is great for all of us that are too cheap to keep buying disposable batteries.

Great charger. Charges Can mix different sizes during charge cycle. Indicates when charging and when battery not good.

Charger quelques batteries et fonctionne bien jusqu’à présent, indique les batteries défectueuses,

Just got it few days ago. Looks like good product Will review again in few months

Works well

Super efficace pour gérer un parc de piles rechargeables!
