Nice charger, but a bit finickyApr 09, 2010
By Wally
I bought this battery charger because I wanted one that can handle size D batteries, also one that can charge 8 AA batteries at a time. Also, this charger has a LCD readout which shows the charge progress of each battery which is a nice touch. A unique feature of this charger is that the batteries don't start charging until the lid is closed. That is how the contacts are made on the positive/negative areas of the batteries. This feature is both good and bad. It is good as a safety measure (I assume, since it's called a family charger, the audience includes children). Yet, because the contacts aren't spring loaded, with AA and AAA batteries, sometimes after closing the lid, the contacts don't seem to touch properly (more on this later) and I found that I had to shuffle the batteries around and get them to work by trial and error.

When charging AA or AAA batteries, one can choose to charge up to 8 batteries at at time. This is possible because the contact point which touches the base of the battery has three possible contact areas in each of four chambers. The middle for charging only one battery, or the two edges for charging two in a chamber. Unfortunately, when using the outer contacts, the contacts don't always touch properly and because of that, the shuffling of batteries is required. (The shuffling isn't required when using the middle contact point). In otherwords, one can flawlessly charge 4 batteries using only the middle contact points. However, attempting to charge more than one battery in a chamber may require shuffling the batteries to get the charger to work right.

What I like:
- charges sizes besides AAA and AA
- charges up to 8 AAA and AA batteries at a time
- LCD display showing individual battery status

What I dislike:
- AA and AAA batteries needed some reshuffling to get it to charge

- hibernate feature doesn't seem to work. After the charge is done, if left idle the charger hibernates. However
I've had the batteries hibernate in the charger for several weeks, but when testing them, some already seem
discharging.

Overall, a nice charger, if you understand the limitations. The battery charger recharges batteries well, but charging more than four AA/AAA batteries at a time requires some fiddling around.

Excellent investment!Dec 03, 2008
By Chris
This product has been a great investment for our family. We haven't experienced any issues with the charger nor with any energizer rechargeable batteries going bad.

I charge 8 AA's and one 9volt and use them every week for live onstage music. They power wireless units and my camera. As i write this i've been using the same set and charger for about eight months without a hitch. My wife just commented today about buying C's and D's.....i highly recommend energizer rechargeable batteries and this specific family charger.

not really sure if it fully works!Nov 16, 2010
By Ally B, mom of 3!
This system definitely does charge, the question is, does it FULLY charge. When our son's favorite toy died we put 3 AA batteries in it that were rechargeable. The batteries eventually needed a charge, so we popped them out of the toy and placed them in this charger and charged them all night. The next day we put them back into his toy (which is the singing seahorse ... kind of like the glowworm...) and when we turned it on the songs sounded funky, almost like the batteries were dying again! I'm pretty sure that this is not a battery thing because I put the batteries in a different charger and they seemed to charge just fine! I'm not saying it doesn't work at all, I'm just wondering if it stops charging before the battery is fully charged...?

Amazon Sends wrong charger!!!Mar 08, 2012
By X
Looks, like Amazon started same tricks as e-bay! Advertises one thing, but ships- the other thing. I ordered this charger, what is pictured in this picture, but received the cheap vertion, where instead big LCD display it is just few blue LED blinking lights. Besides, this one in this picture charges two 9V bat., and this what I received-just one!!! I can't believe Amazon doing this, and moreover I can't complain to customer service via e-mail. Strange! Future customers!!! Watch for your orders too!!!!

Not the charger in the picture!Jan 05, 2012
By Jill Anne Farringdon
I just received mine, sold by amazon. It is brand new, but not the charger in the picture. The charging status window is different and in one corner. On Energizers web site they have the same picture as on Amazon. The UPC code is not given in the product details so i can't tell if it is the same thing. Waiting to hear from Energizer if this is a new model, or an old model. 3 stars until i hear back from Energizer.
