BAD! THIS CHARGER DESTROYS YOUR BATTERIES!!
I purchased this charger and an additional 8 packs of 4 batteries (36 batteries total) in May 2006, and it is now almost Jan 2008. A few months ago (August 2007), I noticed that I would charge ALL of the batteries, and not use them for a week, then when I went to use them, they were practically DEAD! Even as soon as they are done charging now they probably only charge to 60 percent capacity, and die very quickly. I couldn't believe it. I have had great success with NiHM batteries in the past, but this is ridiculous! I spent hours online, researching battery technology and chargers to find out that any charger that charges your batteries faster than one our SEVERELY DECREASES THE LIFESPAN of your batteries! I purchased a set of Eneloop batteries which hold a charge much longer than any other NiMH batteries on the market. I will be contacting Duracell to find out if I can get replacement batteries for the small fortune I have lost on these.
Don't get me wrong, it's not the batteries that have the problem. Duracell makes great batteries. It's their pathetic charger that killed them all.
Unfortunately, people review these products and give them five star ratings without owning them for more than a few months.
I know someone else who had the same exact problem with the Energizer version of this 15 minute charger.
DO NOT BUY THESE.
disappointed
We bought this set and it worked alright in the beginning, yet even then it didn't last as long as it stated it would. After 3-4 chargings the batteries seemed to just die after 1-2 day of light usage in a digital camera. I went out and bought a pack of 4 new duracell rechargeable batteries and had the same result. I compared the longevity to a regular Energizer battery and it out performed this battery 3 to 1.
Worked for first few months then died.
I originally got this charger for my Xbox360 and Wii controllers. It worked great for a couple of months of moderate gameplay, but a few batteries began dying after just 10 minutes of use (they usually last about 12 hours of gameplay). I only use duracell batteries specifically designed for this charger. After a total of about 12 months of ownership, I think only 5 of the 20 batteries I bought can hold a charge longer than 10 minutes. I think the batteries should last a lot longer than a year considering the price. Buyer beware!
