Product Reviews of Duracell Mobile Charger With 2AA Pre Charged Rechargeable Nimh Batteries, CEF23DX2
Product Review: A Good Mobile Charger - Only One USB Charge Per Battery Set Though
Summary: 4 Stars
The best feature of this is the portable usb charging. You can insert AA batteries into the charger, plug a USB cable into it and the other end of the cable into an ipod, psp, phone, etc. and it will charge the ipod/psp/etc. (note: a psp requires a USB to the power plug cable)
I have about 20 AA rechargeable batteries. I use them in my TV remotes, computer devices, clocks, flashlights, and a ton of other devices. When I travel, I'm afraid to plug my ipod and psp directly into the wall outlets of foreign countries. I couldn't justify buying a portable battery pack when I already had 20 portable batteries so I bought this and it works.
It also does all the other features the other reviews have mentioned.
It does not smell at all. I'm not sure what other reviewers are smelling, but my unit has no smell.
The only shorting coming of this device is that each set of batteries is only good for one USB charge session. You cannot charge an ipod a little, turn off the charger, and then expect to charge an ipod again off the same set of batteries (until the batteries are recharged).
So when I'm on the airplane and my ipod runs out of power, I plug it into the Duracell charger to recharge the ipod. After my ipod is all charged, I unplug the ipod, and then plug in my travel mate's ipod. As long as the Duracell's power button is not touched, multiple devices can be charged. Once the Duracell's power button is touched, it's done.
It doesn't matter if the power button is pushed 20 minutes into the charge or 2 hours into the charge; it cannot be turned on again. It also does not seem to matter what type of rechargeable batteries are used because I've used Duracell, Energizer, La Crosse, Eneloop, and others with the same results.
Other than the "one charge per session," this device is perfect.
Product Review: Best Charger
Summary: 5 Stars
By far the best charger i've ever used.
great for the life of the batteries,
does not overcharge.
seperate indicators for each batery.
very useful USB port to charge usb devices.
Product Review: It works with my 3G IPhone!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am off to Peru for a 4 day trek to Machu Picchu. My needs were very specific:
1. Need a device to power my IPHONE 3G for 4 days with no access to an outlet.
2. Need a device that supports 110-240v for international compatibility once i'm back in the hotel.
This unit fits the bill perfectly, and for much less than proprietary IPHONE chargers.
Added bonus:
1. Supports readily availble AA batteries as power.
2. Will serve double duty as a charger for my Digital Camera batteries.
3. AA and AAA support so it will power my headlamp.
4. Utilizes battery or outlet to power USB charging.
5. Will charge/power almost any usb compatible device.
This all-in-one device has all the features I need.
To be fair, the downsides are:
1. It's bigger than dedicated battery extenders.
2. It comes with 2 batteries but they only sell 4packs in the store so I have a total of 6 batteries and would have preferred 8.(1 full replacement set)
3. USB charger required all charging slots contain batteries to function.
4. Chemical smell.
5. Slower charge time vs. quick charger.
I highly recommend this unit to anyone who has the need to power/recharge USB gadgets on the go.
Product Review: Works great
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this charger after doing a lot of research. Pre-charged rechargeables are the way to go. Go read N Lee the Engineer's reviews if you don't believe me.
This is the only charger I have and it works great. I've used both the plug-in and car charger options for the batteries. I love that it has individual indicators for each battery. I haven't tried it as a USB charger yet, so can't review that function.
Product Review: Please God, save me from the odor of this charger!
Summary: 3 Stars
I just received this product. I have not used it yet, but the smell on it is so bad that I think it is hazardous to my health. Why has only one reviewer mentioned this? It is nasty and I'm airing it out in a window. I'd rather not touch it for assuming it was made with some highly toxic chemical plastic compound. I've never smelled a consumer electronics plastic like this? Horrible!
