AA Charger

[Eliot]

Hi Guys,


Can anyone recommend an AA charger?
I have some Sanyo eneloop Pros that I charged for the first time yesterday using my trusty old Uniross charger.

Unfortunately they only lasted about 6 hours in my Xbox ONe controller afterwards.

I have some standard eneloops and some Uniross batteries which I know to last longer than that, the Eneloop pro's have the largest capacity of all of them so I was wondering if my charger doesn't like them for whatever reason?

Maha MH-C9000 - the only AA/AAA charger you'll ever need. If that's a bit pricey (and it's worth every penny, seriously) then google:-

Multi Mode LCD Intelligent Ni-Mh Battery Charger for AA and AAA up to 3000mAh

Can't link as it's a competitor.

NiteCore i4 is also very good. Have one myself and charges all types of batteries not just Ni-Mh.

I've used an AccuPower IQ328 for the last few years, reasonably priced and has doen the job for me.

I think it's also know as the PowerEx MH-C9000.

The i4s bigger brother the D4 is also a great charge. Has the bonus of giving cell voltage readouts as well

Uniross or Duracell 1-2 hour charger should do the job.

Just no.

Quick way to ruin your batteries.

Also, don't use a charger that requires you to charge batteries in pairs.

The Nitecore's are ok but they are very slow if charging 4 batteries (375ma only) and they have suspect/slow -dv/dt nimh termination. I'd only really get one is you really need a universal charger but they aren't a patch on the Maha chargers, and I'd rather have a good dedicated aa/aaa charger and a seperate charger for other chemistries. Personally, I use a good hobby charger for my li-ons and lipos.

I have the maha c9000 and a nitecore i2, for the money the nitecore is superb its my go to charger - no fancy stuff like the maha but it just seems to put that little bit more charge into the batts, also power supply built into the nitecore

For an xbox controller its fine. Had my batteries for 2+ yrs and they still last for weeks before needing a charge.

Technoline BL-700 Intelligent AA-AAA Professional Standard battery charger. around £30 i think, use it for my AA 2700's bike lights.

can charge at 200, 500 or 700 and can do lots of other things i've never bothered with, yet.

ANSMANN chargers used to be the reccomended for batteries a few years ago.Still using mine

The maha c9000 is good, mine suffers from high frequency coil whine and it is very annoying. I highly doubt you'd experience this if you bought one today though.

From Argos for £20, catalogue code 980/5581.

NIMH AA-AAA battery charger by Energizer.

This charger has existed in a couple of carnations. First one I had lasted about 5 years and was the charging block and a separate AC adapter. My replacement is the newer carnation pictured above, where the block/AC is all self-contained and goes straight in the plug. Makes it very low profile, bit like one of those air fresheners! Both older and newer carnations can charge up to 4 AA/AAA batteries individually i.e. each on its own circuit, and the circuit cuts off as each one is full.
