We got these for an electronic toy for my daughter. They work very well, last longer than any other NiMH batteries we've had, and are still working well a year later. When she's not using the toy, we use them in all sorts of other things: cameras, Wii remotes, etc. Great quality. The higher price versus generics or lesser brands is worth it!  One note: I haven't had as good of results with the 15-minute charger.  It works, and good if you need a quick charge, but we have a 12-hr "trickle charger" that seems to give a better charge and the batteries then last longer.

We use a lot of batteries and bought this to charge a variety of different types (AA, C, D, etc.) of batteries but we have been terribly disappointed. After just a couple (literally) uses, it now says all batteries are charged when they are clearly not. I can't remember what we paid for it, but for the amount of use we got out of it we might as well have just bought disposable batteries.

I was constantly purchasing batteries for my wireless keyboard and mouse, remote controls and flashlights.  Then I was having to take my used batteries to a recycling center to dispose of them.  Finally, I said enough of this and purchase an Energizer Battery Charger  which came with both AA and AAA batteries about a year and a half ago.  I also purchase enough batteries to accommodate everything I used batteries for.  I am so pleased with the Energizer Battery Charger that this past Christmas I purchased some for my grown children.  You can only recharge the rechargeable batteries which are considerably more expensive than your regular batteries.  However, once you have them they can be recharged again and again.  Believe me, I have not purchased any AA or AAA batteries since.  Hurray, I am saving money and not having a problem disposing of the batteries.  Batteries should not be disposed of in a landfill, so using the rechargeable batteries along with the Energizer Battery Charger helps to protect our landfills and environment from harmful chemicals which can harm wildlife, pollute ground water and contaminate the soil.  Save yourself some money and help our enviroment by purchasing an Energizer Battery Charger and Energizer Rechargeable batteries.

This is the perfect charger for someone who intermittently uses the electronic device that requires them. If you are always trying to run out the door for a special event and then remember it has been a month since checking the state of battery function...this tools is for you. Just plug it in and let it run...if the batteries are still good it will fill the charge and you will be out the door in 5 minutes or less. But never more than 15 minutes even if your batteries are totally depleted. Who has the presence of mind to plan for a 2-3 hour charge before the event or activity. I also use them in my remotes and just recharge as needed. The short cycle time is a real boon to getting up and going again.

I've been going searching through old droors and cabinets for years looking for batteries to fill either remotes or gaming devices and have never found the time to man up and buy a rechargeable battery set. Finally, I got frustrated enough to get myself a rechargeable pack which states that the batteries will be filled up in 15 minutes and they will last about 4 times longer than the regular battery. Skeptic at first, obviously. But then I was really wowed by the fact that they actually did refill within the 15 minutes and do last quite some time. Now I haven't actually timed them to make sure that they last 4x longer than the regular battery, but the battery life is noticeable for certain. I use these on my Wii, my DVD remotes and on a few pocket devices that need AA's. The car charger is a lifesaver just as well, if I need to take them on a trip with friends it's just brilliant. Well done energizer. (side note, they sell a pack of the rechargeable batteries of the same 15 minute energizer brand brand seperately, I'm not sure if that is every where but if you need more than 4 batteries it's perfect because they are made for this particular charger)

The Energizer Recharge Basic AA/AAA Charger is the first battery charger I have ever owned and I will definitely be sticking with this brand. I really like this charger. It charges up to four batteries at a time, AA or AAA. It is recommended that you charge Energizer brand rechargeable batteries, but that is only a recommendation. Pros of this product is that you save money. No more having to waste money by constantly buying batteries for electronic items like a wireless mouse or a digital camera. Another pro is that the charger was relatively cheap.The batteries that come with the product also seem to last a great while before they need to be recharged again. The only con I have found with this charger so far is that it takes fifteen hours for the batteries to charge. Not a big problem if you have more than two batteries, but it only came with two batteries. So I guess if I just go buy more batteries to charge, than this would be the perfect charger for me. In short, I would definitely recommend this product to others.

The energizer 15 minute charger has been a great investment for my electronic gadgets. There is nothing more disappointing than going to use something and discovering your batteries have died. Thanks to the 15 minute charger, I am powered back up within minutes. The 15 Minute specification seems to vary from charge to charge. I didn't start keeping track until after a couple months of use, but the sweet spot seems to be between 20 and 30 minutes. I guess it ultimately depends on how depleted the batteries are, but it does seem like it doesn't charge as fast as when I first bought it. However, the important thing is that it charges, and charges it does. I really have no other gripes about the charger except I wish I had found it for cheaper than what I paid. There are definitely cheaper alternatives, but of course you get what you pay for. I purchased the Energizer charger because it is a dependable brand and received mostly favorable reviews. There is not too much consideration that needs to go into purchasing a charger, however. It either works or it doesn't, charges or fails, and in the case of the Energizer 15 Minute charger, it has consistently pumped out charge after charge after charge. Looking for a solid charger that will not leave you hanging? Look no further than the Energizer 15 Minute charger!

I use alot of batteries in my house, right from around 10 remote controls, several camera's and a whole lot of miscellaneous  appliances. I calculated and found out that by recurring costs of the batteries was on the higher side than i would like, especially because once you use them you need to throw them away. So the logical thing to was to purchase a battery charger, since energizer batteries have been such a big brand name i decided to purchase the aa/aaa enegizer battery charger and was quite surprised as to how cheap this thing was. For under twenty bucks you not only get the charger but also get four batteries along with it.  It has a few drawbacks, primarily that it charges in pairs, so you cant charge one or three, for whatever vague reason thats how it works. It has a fuel gauge so to say which marginally works and a timer which i think they can do away with. On and all its a cheap gadget makes you save some money if you use alot of battery power, since i've not had it for that long, cant vouch for its longevity, but so far its been behaving alright.

If you're like me, you always need a supply of fresh batteries on hand for various electronic devices. It is of course much more environmentally friendly to use rechargeable batteries than to be constantly throwing used batteries away. You will save money in the long run, too. I had been considering getting a battery charger for a long time when I had the opportunity to get a free coupon for the Energizer Battery Charger. When I found it in the store I was immediately impressed because you can use it to charge both AA and AAA batteries - the two most commonly used sizes of batteries around my house. The Energizer Battery Charger is compact, and has an indicator light to tell you when the batteries are finished charging. Since getting it I have found it indispensible - I always have fresh batteries on hand now, and I feel much better using rechargeable batteries rather than using batteries once and sending them to the landfill.

This little charger is really handy for those "A" type batteries. It charges very quickly and it has lights to indicate that you put them in right and the also tell you when they are done. The size is also great! I remember my mom's charger when I was a kid was about the size of a small toaster! I do wish that you could charge other sizes with it. We do use a lot of the "A" batteries but we also use the "C" and "D" batteries and we can't charge those on this charger. In fact, I am not even sure that energizer makes rechargable batteries in those sizes! so we end up buying the regular ones and wishing we could recharge them! On a side note, we have a little guy and his toys require a good number of batteries, sometimes up to eight double A batteries. I do wish that you could charge a larger number of batteries. But it is perfect for charging the batteries for my camera. Or, my husband loves it for use with his xbox 360 controllers.
