Product Reviews of Energizer Rechargeable 15 Minute Charger
Product Review: It is the perfect fit for, "Oh I forgot to charge my batteries syndrome"
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
March 29, 2011 Here is an 18 month assessment of performance. I now share my charger with my daughter that has two sons that seem to run on batteries. This is the perfect tool for the age in which we live. The batteries are very reliable and have lasted a long time on duty.
Product Review: It killed my batteries
Summary: 1 Stars
This item charges your batteries fast but they're never the same again. My batteries that have put in this charger now last 1/4 of the time they used to, and lose power very quickly even when not being used.
Save yourself the expense of buying new batteries and use the slow charger, the fast charger is not worth it.
Product Review: It's Like Living In The Future
Summary: 5 Stars
This thing is straight-up awesome. Full charge in 15 minutes, it takes away any excuse not to use rechargeable batteries.Product Review: It's a lemon.
Summary: 1 Stars
I see that many here are perfectly happy with their functioning unit. But like many others, mine failed within a few uses. It charged the same batteries packaged with it 2-3 times initially, no problem. Now when I plug them in the light goes green, then red, and then it shuts off after only a few seconds, failing to charge the batteries.
From the other reviews here it seems your purchase might not fail on you, but know that it could just as easily be a waste of cash.
Product Review: Misleading Marketing, Loud Fan
Summary: 2 Stars
It's a shame that good companies feel they have to misrepresent their products. The packaging clearly states 15 minute recharge, see also the product image on its Amazon page. However, according to the instructions it takes 26 - 32 min. to charge 4 batteries depending on their capacity. So how hard would it be to state 15 - 30 min charge time? There's nothing wrong with taking 30 min. to charge four batteries, so what's Energizer afraid of? A well-established and reputable company like Energizer should demonstrate more integrity, honesty & ethics, especially since this is a good product.
If you're shooting a quiet indoors event beware that the fan is very loud and potentially would disturb participants and the audience. You'd have to find another room, or since the unit comes with a car charger, you could run back and forth to your car. Alternatively, an easy work-around is to come prepared with an appropriate amount of charged batteries. Or if you're shooting something like a dance party, no worries about the fan.
