Prices are all over the map for this item. My last one blew up in a remote section of Nepal. New one is larger but also allows four AA or AAA batteries to be recgarged. New design no longer allows one to connect directly to a,Goal Zero solar panel without a somewhat hard to find connecting cord. Other brands allow proprietary camera batteries to be charged either vertically or horizontally. This unit allows only one configuration

The portable Pixo C4 Universal Quick Charger with 10W Dual USB Charge Output can be used for charging your phone, camera, tablet, or any other battery-operated device. It comes with a 100 to 240V power supply, a 12V car adapter and a 21" (53.3cm)-long USB cable.
This charger automatically detects the polarity and voltage of Li-ion batteries and can charge four AA, AAA (NiMH or NiCad) batteries in pairs, or a single Li-ion or Li-polymer battery pack (3.4 to 4.2V or 6.8 to 8.4V). The USB ports on the charger have a power output of 5V 2000mA and can power one tablet or up to 2 smartphones at the same time. In addition, the bundled USB cable has Mini-USB and Micro-USB connectors that can be used for charging smartphones, tablets and other devices.
The C4 Charger has one red and three green LEDs for displaying the charging status. It also has a battery activator feature that tries to revive deeply discharged lithium-ion batteries.
As nearly all lithium-ion and lithium-polymer battery packs have different contacts, the charger features silver-plated 3D-Flex contacts that slide to the correct position to ensure correct contact. The charging contacts can also be adjusted from the side of the unit.
