EBL Upgraded 8 Bays AA AAA Battery Charger with USB Ports and 8 Counts 2800mAh AA Batteries, Rechargeable Batteries and Charger Set

I always used to buy regular batteries but after switching to this it is a lifesaver. I have a lot of lights in my home which work on batteries and this just saved me from throwing a lot of batteries to waste.Pros:1. Charges battery fast, as 2 batteries will charge in 30 minutes or so2. Got 2 USB ports which come in handy when charging things like AirPods, a rechargeable lint remover, etc which come with just a USB cable3. Budget-friendly4. Easy to use5. Supports both AA and AAA batteries6. No need for batteries to be kept in an order or combination, convenient7. No issues if you keep the battery in charger after it is charged, tension-freeCons:1. Charging many batteries at once will make it slow. Example: Charging 10 batteries at once could take approximately 3 hours to completeTip:If you have multiple lights with batteries, then instead of charging them together do them separately so it takes only 30 minutes to charge. Keep maybe 2 to 3 batteries extra so you don't have to wait for the batteries to get charged.

Brilliant little charger supplied with 8 aa batteries for just under 16 pounds you can charge odd number batteries I've got a radio that takes 3 aa batteries and I can just charge the three or you can charge one single battery it's not a fast charger but this is better for your batteries overall I'm very pleased with this purchase it also charges AAA batteries which can be charged alongside your AA batteries highly recommended

This is a solid product, really well packaged. The charger takes up minimal space on my desk and doesn't look bad either. I love that it automatically stops charging when the batteries are full so you don't have to worry about being there at the exact moment to switch it off. A big improvement on my previous charger.I got the set with 8x 2800mAh AA batteries. That's an extraordinary capacity for AA batteries! They certainly seem to last longer than regular batteries, but I'm still in the initial charge/discharge cycles so they haven't settled yet. So far it's taken quite a bit longer than the stated six hours to fully charge them.My one hesitation about buying this product was a review saying that the batteries are larger than standard AA. Measuring with calipers, they're 50.25 x 14.27mm, compared with 50.24 x 13.99mmm for an Energizer AA - so 0.28mm in it. I've included a photo with the EBL next to a couple of other common AA batteries for comparison. I've not had any trouble with the fractionally larger size, but if regular batteries are already tight in your equipment then that extra quarter of a millimetre might be a problem.The USB sockets on the charger are a nice idea, but it's a bit frustrating that they both deliver 1.55A. That's not enough to fast charge a smartphone. (It's the difference between a 3hr charge and a 1.5hr charge for my Galaxy S9.) It would have been more helpful to have e.g. the typical split of one USB at 1A and one at 2.1A.I'm happy with the purchase at the moment, but in the end the value will be judged by how many years the batteries last. I'll update this review if/when any of them die.

Good charger. Takes 8 hours to fully charge a pair of EBL batteries.

The media could not be loaded. We bought 2 chargers with 8 battery each, plus 16 separate batteries to cut down on battery waste from our house. We have 6 Xbox controllers that seem to consume about 30 throw away batteries every month. Lets hope this helps, but it all depends on the kids bothering to charge up the dead ones.Reasonably small form factor battery charger. Doesn't get too hot during operation. Neat 2 pin mains socket on the side. Comes complete with mains cable fitted with UK 13A plug. Shame it doesn't have any way to wall mount.Batteries fit snugly into the charger and don't fall out even if the charger is inverted.The first charge took around 12 hours, so the batteries must have been part charged on delivery.The instructions say max output to batteries is 720mA, so to charge 8x 2800mAh batteries it will take at least 31 hours.*UPDATE* yes it does take a long time to charge up 8 dead batteries, but on the bright side they are not charged quickly so their life will be extended. This is definitely not a fast charger!The batteries seem to be of good build quality, and are quite heavy, indicating that they could indeed be high capacity. I will test this and update the review.Charger instructions say it will charge Ni-MH and Ni-CD batteries. Input Voltage 100-240V AC 0.4Amax 50Hz/60Hz. They also state Battery charging rate >= 80% ( I think this means that 80% of the power consumed by the charger goes into the battery but I could be wrong!)When the initial charging cycle is started the LED's above each pair of batteries goes orange. Towards the end of the cycle you see a yellowy green LED, and then when fully charged this goes to green. You have to charge batteries in pairs.*UPDATE* since purchasing the 2x chargers and 32x batteries i have bought another 16 batteries to cover us for Xmas. They are all working well, and the only problem is the qty we seem to loose!

Very happy with this charger. Bought to replace a much older one that's now showing 'error' warnings, this is quick to charge and handles AA and AAA batteries equally well. The tray holds onto the batteries without them slipping out and you can put either size of battery in each bay, so you can charge a mixture at the same time. The indicator lights work fine and the device doesn't get too hot whilst in use.

Very flexible charger and dirt cheap given that it comes with 8 quality rechargeable batteries
