POWEROWL 8 Bay AA AAA C D Battery Charger, USB High-Speed Charging, Independent Slot, for Ni-MH Ni-CD Rechargeable Batteries…

Works well, happy to have rechargeable batteries charged and available.

This is a very basic charger. That is a good thing!Over the years I have owned dozens of battery chargers. In the beginning, all chargers were pretty basic. Then as time goes on they get more and more complicated. They sometimes have capacity tests, rate of discharge, rate of charge, battery type, time to full etc. There is a place for all of those and my inner geek loves those nerdy stats on my batteries. However, I find myself often times just wanting my battery charger to handle all of that and to "just charge" my batteries and let me know when they are full and ready. This charger does that very well. In fact, it is becoming the default charger I go to most times. Here are the great things about this inexpensive charger:1. Universal. It charges NiMH and Ni-Cad batteries of all the cylindrical sizes. 8 AA, AAA or 4 C and D. It charges Li-ion batteries too.14500 and 18650 are types I use the most. It can charge 4 of those each and it does great.2. USB power plug. This charger uses USB-C or USB-Micro for power input. This is fantastic as you can power it pretty much anywhere to charge your batteries. Camping, traveling or at home, USB ports are everywhere.3. Battery indicator LEDs: Simple red and green lights to indicate battery status. No fancy displays or complex indicators to learn. Red = charging. Green = Full. Bad battery = blinking red. That's it. Put the batteries in to charge and when they turn green they are done.4. Rubber feet on the bottom. So many chargers don't have this little feature and they can slide around on a hard surface. This one has those feet and so stays in place while on my desk or table.This charger is a STEAL at under $20. Charges all the battery types I have and can be powered from pretty much anywhere. Great charger and fantastically basic!

Excellent purchase. Comes with the different sizes and the charger port. I use it daily. If you rely on many battery operated items you will appreciate this set!

EDIT: customer service reached out and sent a replacement. I noticed that it looked to be in better shape than the original, so I'm thinking I was possibly previously sent a used product. The replacement has been working and charges much faster (half a day to charge 4 Cs instead of 3 days). It also now correctly indicates if a battery is fully charged. I waited to update in case it started breaking down but so far so good.It took multiple days to charge 4 C batteries, then would often stop charging on its own till it eventually stopped charging altogether. Tried different cords and plugs, nothing will turn it back on.

This charger extends the life of those low cost solar powered garden or yard lights without having to hard wire them. I bought some a while back and they grew dim after a while.. When I examined them closely I found my lights were less than a year old had solar batteries inside dated 2001. This charger took a few hours to bring back these batteries to life and by recharging the batteries, clean the lens and clean the small solar panel on top, they come to life like new. This universal charger works on several different batteries and easy to use.

really neat and handy. my only real complaint is that if dirt or anything gets stuck inside it causes the slider to sounds similar to that of a foldable phone when it has dirt inside and becomes harder and less smooth to move up and downbuild quality: feels about mediums build quality, not cheap not good. the sliders feel kind of cheap, but that may be due to the dirt inside the unit

The lights are supposed to be solid red while charging and turn green when fully charged. I left my batteries in the charger for 12 hours and the lights were still solid red. I assume that the charger did not work.

Thankfully the indicator lights tell you if the battery is aligned just right, because it's a bit fiddly to get them in there. Works really well once batteries are set in correctly.
