Energizer Rechargeable AA and AAA Battery Charger (Recharge Pro) with 4 AA NiMH Rechargeable Batteries, Auto-Safety Feature, Over-Charge Protection

I was able to get the Energizer battery charger as well as 4 AA rechargeable batteries for around $13-14 in June 2023 (which is a steal considering that most battery chargers without the batteries go for that price). Here are some of the positives of this product:

-The deal that I got on this product was great, and I don’t expect a similar deal to appear on the market (even from competitors) anytime soon.

-The red, yellow, and green indicators (as well as the beeping audio feedback) are helpful in letting you know when your batteries are starting to charge and when they finish charging (this usually takes a few hours).

-There is an indicator for when it detects a defective battery, and it doesn’t charge if this is found.

-Energizer batteries are brand-name and I have trust in their quality. I’ve had Energizer rechargeable batteries before and they will last for years.

And here are some minor negatives:

-You have to charge batteries in pairs. For instance, you can charge two on the left or two on the right or four total, but not one or three batteries at a time.

-The defective battery indicator doesn’t tell you which battery is defective. I’d had to figure out which of my batteries were defective using brute force testing (testing batteries 1 and 2, then 3 and 4, then 1 and 3, then 2 and 4, etc), which is tedious.

-Following the above point, the red, yellow, and green charging indicator is for all the batteries that are connected to the charger. What if you have two completely dead batteries and two nearly full batteries that are charging at once? The point above about the universal defective battery indicator is understandable, but most companies nowadays have individual charging indicators for each battery that should be easy for Energizer to implement in their product.

-The first time I used the batteries, they drained surprisingly quickly (they were dead after two weeks despite being fully charged and being used in a Switch controller for only a few hours).

These negatives made me take off a star for the product, but if they don’t bother you, or if you really just need a low-cost, simple battery charger setup for your battery-powered appliances, then this is the product for you.

I just got it a few days ago. I had almost a dozen rechargeable AA Batteries that were partially discharged and no way to recharge them. I’m impressed with the indicators on the front and little beeper that notifies me of status. It worked exactly as described. It charged the batteries much faster than I expected. I read the batteries before and after charging with my voltmeter so I can attest to the fact that it works like a champ. One very minor issue is a small frustration, but I accept that fact that nothing is perfect. One of the four positions where a battery is inserted for charging is EXTREMELY difficult to squeeze the battery into. I have strong hands and I’m able to force the battery into the slot. Most people would probably give up and return it. I am counting on the slot loosening up long before my hands grow weaker with age. (74 now). I still recommend this product to anyone, as I firmly believe this was a fluke and NOT a defect that comes with each new charger. I have no hesitation to say that this is worth the money and should arrive if perfect condition.

buena calidad

Fastest charger for rechargeable batteries. We’ve tried multiple different brands of batteries, and chargers, but this one IS THE BEST. The batteries last longer and the charge is quick. We ended up buying 2 more rechargeable battery packs, since being highly impressed with these!

Long lasting and recharges quickly.
