Energizer Recharge Value Charger for NiMH Rechargeable AA and AAA Batteries

This charger is a great value—especially if you catch it on sale. The included Energizer batteries are a nice bonus, but what really impressed me is that it works perfectly with other brands too, like Amazon Basics rechargeable batteries.Why I recommend it:Reliable Charging: I’ve used it with multiple sets of batteries and haven’t had a single issue.Cross-Compatible: Don’t feel locked into Energizer batteries—this charger handles others just fine.Simple & Effective: Easy to use, compact, and gets the job done without any fuss.Great for Stocking Up: I’ve purchased a few of these now for different spots around the house.If you’re on the fence because you think you have to use Energizer batteries—don’t be. This charger is flexible, dependable, and a smart buy.

I decided to test rechargeable batteries for photography, with my Nikon D750. The battery charger charged the batteries quickly and powers the camera well enough for my test. I will try to give an update on the performance in a few days. I recommend using a wall adapter to properly charge the batteries. A USB port in a wall outlet is not enough and will take hours to charge.Update 4-26-202225:I had a wonderful photo session today. These batteries worked great. Absolutely no issues with pics/videos, even on high power/quality settings, I used a high-quality Nikon 85mm lens. While these batteries worked great, I did not realize how power hungry my camera was. These batteries lasted maybe just over 2 hours, but they did work and worked well. Fortunately, I had an OEM battery, so I was able to continue my photos. Bring extras if you chose this type of battery, or an OEM.

I’ve been using the Energizer Recharge Value Charger for a few months now, and it’s been a solid investment. It charges both AA and AAA NiMH batteries (I’ve used both types), and I love that it comes with 4 pre-charged AA batteries right out of the box—very plug-and-play.Charging time is around 4–5 hours, which isn’t the fastest, but it’s completely fine for overnight charging or casual use. The LED indicator is basic but effective: red for charging, green when done. Nothing fancy, but it does the job well.The built-in foldable plug is a nice touch—makes storage a bit easier when traveling or packing it away. And I appreciate the auto shut-off feature, which gives peace of mind that I’m not overcharging or damaging the batteries.One small note: it doesn’t charge batteries individually—you need to charge 2 or 4 at a time. That’s not a dealbreaker for me, but good to know in advance.All in all, this is a dependable and affordable option if you use a lot of AA or AAA batteries around the house. I’ve already saved money by not buying disposables.

Works great. Charge time on 4 AAA batteries is 5-7 hours. So not a speedy charger. Also you can’t just charge 2 batteries. You have to charge 4 at a time. At least for AAA. I use this charger for my Amazon branded rechargeable batteries. No issue

Good price for charger AND 4 New rechargeable AA batteries .Energizer has long been my go-to battery brand due to good products and long product life. O.K. that said , I did not give Five star because it is Very SLOW to reach fully charged state (I’m talking all day,12 plus hours ). I was alarmed ,at first , that it took so long but went back and read more reviews, scoured the instructions for possible PILOT ERRORS and realized this is a sort of a super slow(trickle?)charger that just takes its own sweet time. I finally went to bed and in the AM green indicator finally lit up to show charge complete.Yay! When charging, the red light glows steadily and switches to a steady green glow when batteries are fully charged .It also will blink red if batteries are defective or unsafe to charge which is a good feature. I recommend it over all and again the price was good .Thanks !

This NiMH battery charger is quite a little gem! It does exactly what it’s supposed to do with no muss, no fuss and no surprises. Operation is simple and straightforward, making it very easy to use. And it works for both AA and AAA size batteries. In fact, it will even charge both sizes at the same time! There is one caveat though: Batteries must be charged in pairs. A single battery won’t work. That means you can charge either two or four AA’s, two or four AAA’s, or all eight batteries at the same time. But you can’t charge just one. (Some kind of anomaly in the charging circuitry, I suppose). A minor inconvenience for some folks perhaps, but how many people are there who need to charge only one battery at a time?State-of-charge is indicated by a large translucent panel that occupies the upper-third of the front of the charger. When first placed on charge, dead batteries will cause the panel to glow red. After they’ve recharged, and are again ready for use, the panel turns green. For defective batteries that can’t be recharged, the panel displays blinking red. It’s all very simple and there’s no guesswork. There’s even a built-in timer that automatically turns the charger off after 11 hours – to prevent accidental overcharging -- for those who may have forgotten they left some batteries on charge.A thoughtful extra feature for travelers is the fold-away power plug. The two prongs that plug into the wall socket can be folded down, so they lie flat against the case, instead of simply poking out the back where they might snag some fragile garments that were traveling in the same suitcase.All in all, I’m very satisfied with this feature-laden, attractive-looking battery charger. Its features have been well thought out, it couldn’t be any easier to use and it’s an excellent value for the money. The fact that it comes with 4 NImH “AA” batteries makes the value even more compelling. So yes, I’d feel more than confident in recommending this product to a friend or family member.
