Purchased this item for charging various rechargeable batteries at home and out in the field. Never really impressed with the recharge time even with quick charge batteries. Having used other battery chargers at a fraction of the price, this unit did not perform well. After about a year of light service, this unit stopped working altogether.

This is a decent charger. It does everything it claims it's supposed to do. I use it with my eneloop rechargeable batteries and so far so good. The only downside to this charger is it can only handle 6 AA's. It would be perfect if it could handle 4 AA's. Would make my re-charging a little bit easier.

This is a highly versatile charger. It does what others don't: it conditions batteries as opposed to just charging them. I use this to charge our eneloops which are great for flashes and for kids' toys. The fact this little omni-shaped charger can charge 8 AA's as well as batteries of other sizes is a plus!

I have tried to use other chargers in the pase and kept putting off the purchase of this unit until I finally got fed up with everything else and finally bit the bullet and decided I needed the best and was through fooling around. I am so glad I did and my batteries never felt better nor lasted longer. This charger was able to recover sever that other charges gave up on. I am very happy with this purchase and wouldn't use anything else ever again. It's quality and performance speaks for itself, if you want and need the best, just buy it.

Great for recharging different size batteries and multiple batteries at the same time. Easy to tell if batteries are good/bad or fully recharged.

This is a very nice simple charger that can discharge/recharge nimh and nicad batteries. Simple no fuss operation, nothing to set, the charger decides whether to restore or just charge a battery. The only negative is that it can't always restore batteries, for that a Maha or La Crosse charger will work better, but require a lot more manual setting. But if you want a reliable charger that doesn't take any thinking, and also will trickle charge batteries so you can store them in the charger, this is the one.

In today's modern environment, batteries of all sizes are in everyday use. To help eliminate the confusion that results with keeping all of these properly charged Ansmann is introducing their New Energy 16 charging center for NiMh and NiCd cells.
The Energy 8 system charges one to six AA or AAA cells, or one to four C or D cells or any combination of AA/AAA/C/D cells plus up to two-9V NiMh or NiCd cells!
The microprocessor controlled Energy 8 system automatically tests each cell for condition and indicates the state of charge, automatically refreshes or discharges them, if necessary, then switches each cell to fast charge and when fully charged to a pulsed trickle charge. If any problems are detected during charging or if a cell is improperly installed an LED will indicate which cell has a problem!
The Energy 8 charges up to six 2200 mAh, NiMh AA cells to full charge in 3 hours! It operates on any current from 100 to 240V/50 to 60 Hz and automatically detects and switches to the proper voltage and current!
The charger also automatically supplies the proper battery charging current from 70 mAh to 9000 mAh depending on the type of cell being charged! It charges AA cells up to 2300 mAh so it won't be outgrown by technology!
The Energy 8 is supplied with both US and EU plugs and has a 3-year warranty.
