Customer Reviews

Great Charger
I only had this charger for a week. It recharged my Juice brand batteries(2 AA alkaline) and my (AAA alkaline) non-Juice battery. I like that it'll show red light if the rechargeable battery(Alkaline or NiMH) is at the end of its cycle. Telling you that you're going to need new batteries.
Edited 5/27:
Now that it has been over a year, I wish it had a discharge feature. I have 4 NiCd batteries that I bought years ago in error(needed the alkaline types). With those, it's recommended to fully drain before charging.
The NiMh batteries that came with the charger is crap. I use these batteries and the NiCd batteries with the Wii Remotes. The Juice NiMh batteries will go from 2 bars on the Wii Remote to no bars, skipping 1 bar status. My NiCd batteries at 1 bar would outlast the Juice NiMh at 2 bars.
The Juice NiMh is the only NiMh battery type I have. So, I don't know if all NiMh batteries are that way. I doubt it. I can't believe that the batteries would drain so quickly. Just the other day, my recent charge of the Juice NiMh, it didn't last a week. I couldn't play two player.

If I could change the rating, it would be a four. For not having a discharge feature. But it's still a good charger.

Necessary asserory for the camera


The recharger is first class and a necessity. The technology goes along with the camera which is amazing to me and excellent.

Outstanding Performance with Space-Age Appearance
I really didn't start out to buy another battery charger. I have one from the local electronics store, but I've not been thoroughly satisfied with it. For one thing, it has a little red button that, when pushed, supposedly discharges the batteries so that the new charge can be maximized and battery "memory" will not develop. However, the instructions fail to say how long the button should be depressed, nor is there any indication on the charger that the discharge is complete--or even happening. Likewise, the charger gives no indication when the batteries have been fully recharged and are ready for removal. That just leaves too much to chance for my peace of mind. Also, I have to remember to tell the charger what kind of batteries it's dealing with, NiMH or NiCd.

The Juice Multi-Battery Charger, however, is smart. It knows automatically what type of batteries are being recharged, it doesn't ask me to press little red buttons to discharge them first, and it shows me (with a different LED for each battery) when the recharge is complete. It willingly accepts rechargeable AA and AAA batteries, up to four of either type simultaneously.

Beyond its performance, this recharger even looks neat! Its clear, blue plastic battery cover on a silver base and its four green LEDs, which flash while recharging is in progress and burn steadily when it's complete, make it too attractive to hide away in a cabinet. Its appearance is as superb as its performance. The sole drawback is that 9-Volt, "transistor-type" batteries are not accommodated, only AA and AAA. For that lack only do I give the device four Amazon stars instead of five. For the sizes of batteries that it does accept, I doubt that a better charger is available anywhere.
