 TERRIBLE PRODUCT January 17, 2005

Do not buy this charger. The first one I got broke after one use. It took 3 calls to customer service to get a new one, which took almost 6 weeks to get to me, plus I had to pay for shipping to get the defective one back to them. The second one broke immediately as well. They will NOT offer a refund, only a third product of the same model. They even said "this is our most economical model, so you get what you pay for." Of course, I have to pay to ship the second defective one back as well. So after shipping of three items, I have more than paid for the cost of the item. I am not even shipping this one back - I am just going to eat the cost and buy from another company. To make matters worse, the average "hold time" for their 800 number is about 15 minutes. Then you get very unpleasant CSRs in New Jersey on the line with no compassion whatsoever.
 GREAT PRODUCT April 15, 2005

I bought my charger 4 years ago when I purchased my digital camera and I am still using it along with the original batteries. I use them quite frequently, I am very impressed that both the charger and batteries have lasted this long. The batteries hold a great charge too.

Got this 2 days ago and instructions say 18-20 hrs for charging but they fail to tell you that it's not an automatic shut off..I forgot that I had plugged it in and I was lucky the batteries didn't explode...They were so hot that I could hardly hold them.....Not sure about the quality of the batteries but the charger is going in the trash; I have others.
Great solid charger January 10, 2007

I have used this charger consistently for over a year and have had great results. It is handy and the batteries hold their charge well.
 Long charging time, cells slightly too wide June 18, 2007

The included instruction sheet lists the charging time for these 2,500mah NiMH batteries at *18-20 HOURS*. The charger doesn't even have a voltage shut-off, so it keeps "charging" them even after they're fully charged. So, you don't know when they're fully-charged, just wait 18-20 hours. Of course, continually overcharging NiMH cells will shorten their operational life span (unlike Li-Ion or NiCad).
I also have to note that the cells are too wide. I tried to put them in my XBOX 360 controller, and they would barely even fit. I had to push so hard to get them in that the plastic coating is scratched. I've never experienced this problem with batteries before. I measured the diameter of a Duracell AA cell at 14.0mm, while the diameter of these cells is 14.3mm.
Between the oversized batteries, the outrageous charging time, and a charger that doesn't indicate completion, don't buy these. They suck.
