EBL AA AAA Battery Charger, 8-Bay Individual Charger for NiMH NiCD Rechargeable Batteries with AC Plug Fast Charging

Works Great! Charges my batteries just the way they should and within a reasonable time frame--Real quick with the AAA's and not that long with the AA's. Even rejuvenates older recharge batteries too close to end of life. Better charger than previous version(s) made by EBL company.

So far this charger seems to work well. It allows you to chare one battery or eight at the same time. Also each slot can be different, as one AA and the next AAA. This a nice feature. It was able to revitalize four of my NIMH batteries.

I like EBL stuff, have lots of their batteries and various chargers. Everything is reasonably priced and works well. Will always watch for their products.

Decent charger for price.

I purchased my first EBL AA AAA Battery Charger over 5 years ago, and was thoroughly pleased with it! Unfortunately, it started going flaky a couple of weeks ago, so I decided it was time to order a replacement. As someone who uses a lot of rechargeable batteries for everything from remotes to toys, this charger has been a total game-changer. Proven Longevity: The fact that my first unit lasted over 5 years of regular use speaks volumes about the quality and durability of this product. That's exceptional value and reliability! Fast and Efficient Charging: The charging process is incredibly fast. I can get a full charge in just a few hours, which is perfect when I need batteries on the go. No more waiting around all day for batteries to be ready. Clear Display and Individual Monitoring: The display is super clear, showing the charge status of each battery individually. I always know exactly where things stand with each cell, which is so much better than older chargers that leave you guessing. The 8-bay design with individual charging means I can charge different battery types and capacities together without any issues. Safe and Reliable: The built-in overcharge protection gives me peace of mind knowing my batteries are safe from damage. I've charged 4 different types of batteries without any problems, and the charger handles them all intelligently. Versatile and Space-Saving: It charges both AA and AAA batteries, which is perfect for my household needs. The compact design fits easily on a shelf or counter without taking up too much space, yet still provides 8 charging bays for maximum capacity. Eco-Friendly and Money-Saving: Using rechargeable batteries helps reduce waste significantly, and this charger makes it incredibly easy to keep my batteries in rotation without constantly buying disposables. The money I've saved over these 5 years has more than paid for the charger many times over, all while being more environmentally conscious. Bottom Line: When a product serves you well for over 5 years and your immediate response is to buy the same model again, that tells you everything you need to know. If you're looking for an efficient, fast, and reliable battery charger for AA and AAA batteries, I highly recommend the EBL Charger. It's practical, durable, and works exactly as advertised. This is my second purchase, and I expect another 5+ years of excellent service!

Works as it should, its a charger

I bought this 8-bay charger for my rechargeable batteries. It charges quicker than my old charger. Plus, I can charge more batteries at a time, whether they are AA or AAA batteries. It small and does not take up a lot of space while in use. Love this charger. Good price too

I am reviewing the charger and the charger alone. I have 64 of the AmazonBasics AA and 24 of the AAA. I have used this charger exclusively for a little over a year and while I've always noticed that the batteries seemed not to last that long, I've never put too much thought into it. I recently purchased 16 of the AmazonBasics high capacity AA and at the recommendation of a lot of reviews, also purchased the La Crosse Technology BC-700 Alpha Power Battery Charger . That particular battery charger only chargers 4 batteries at a time, but it tells you the voltage of the batteries as well as the mAh (capacity) that it puts into the batteries. If you want to learn more about that charger, there are great reviews for it. I wanted to see how well this EBL 8 Bay charger was working for me, so I decided to test it out. This is what I did: * I took my entire lot of batteries that weren't in devices and made sure they were charged in this EBL 8 Bay charger. * I then waited about a day, not for any particular reason other than schedule. * I charged each of the batteries in the La Crosse BC-700, paying attention to the mAh each battery accepted before the La Crosse registered the battery as full.. In most cases, I was able to put another 300 to 700 mAh into the AA batteries. In some cases it was in excess of 1000 mAh and in the most extreme case I was able to put 2130 mAh into the standard capacity AA batteries. Those batteries are only rated to 2,000 mAh which tells me that the EBL 8 Bay charger registered the battery as full when it was actually dead. As for the AA batteries and the high capacity batteries, I'm still on my first batch of AAA batteries, but all 4 are registering several hundred mAh already. I'm only charging the high capacity batteries in the La Crosse charger because I don't trust the EBL charger. Before I give my conclusion, there is something that is important to understand about this EBL 8 Bay charger: It charges batteries in pairs. You cannot charge a single battery, so if you have a device that takes an odd number of batteries you have to mix/match batteries from other devices to charge them. Based on my experience, this is what I think is happening: * The EBL 8 Bay charger doesn't fully charge the batteries. It regularly stops a minimum of 300 mAH hours short of the battery's full charge. This in itself is very unfortunate and based on this alone, I would not recommend this charger. * Because the EBL 8 Bay charger only charges batteries in pairs, you will commonly have to charge two batteries together that have a different charge level. My assumption prior to my testing was that the charger would be intelligent enough to charge both batteries to their maximum charge, but that doesn't seem to be the case at all. What seems to be happening is that the EBL 8 Bay charger is charging each pair of batteries until it senses that one of them is full, and then stops charging them. This is the only explanation I have for why there are such large discrepancies between charge levels from battery to battery after I charged all of them. * While I have not tested this yet (I will), perhaps leaving batteries on the charger once they are full is causing them to discharge at a rapid rate. The La Crosse BC-700 continues to 'trickle charge' batteries when they are done charging at a rate of ~10 mAh or so as needed. Perhaps this BCL charger is slowly draining the batteries after they're charged, I'm not sure. This is all to say that I can not and do not recommend this charger. I would strongly recommend getting the La Crosse charger. You can see how much each battery is being charged, what the voltage is and how long it takes to charge. It also reconditions batteries and provides the functionality to properly break-in new batteries for maximum capacity and longevity. You can charge at 200, 500, and 700 mAh as well if you need your batteries charged in a pinch. DO NOT buy this EBL charger if you want the maximum capacity and life out of your rechargeable batteries.
