Product Reviews
 (4 stars) - Decent Battery Charger
I am not crazy about this product, I have both positive and negative feelings toward it.
The charger works good for some products at certain times. I don't mean the batteries don't last long for machines pulling a lot of juice or that they last long for machines that don't. It is kind on mixed. I would get great performance out of my digital camera one day and then horrible the next. I expect this is resulting from the charger not fully or evenly charging batteries. Its like it has a mind of it own, either that it is the batteries.
I know with certain batteries they have a memory and if not charge properly the first time it can be ruined. I don't think this is the case with these types of batteries, plus I followed the instructions. So I am not sure 100% sure why the charger or the batteries are not fully charged at times. I just know it to be fact it happens.
It doesn't happen often and I have gotten a better performance out of the machine than a negative one, that's why the 4 stars. As well as I have used other brands before which were a flop and died after a year. I have had this one for going on two. A lot of things change in two years, I recommend seeing what else has popped up on the market before buying. This does have its faults but is also works rather well as well.
It all depends on you and what you expect from a product. It works but it also have faults, choose to live with them or seek a new product. I would definitely keep searching and come back to this if you don't like what you find.
(4 stars) - Works like a charm
I bought this product after using one at work, and it does exactly what I want it to do. It is easy to understand, and charges batteries quickly!
(4 stars) - Works great . . . but a bit noisy!
Overall: Gets the job done in a hurry! This battery charger works as described but it is rather loud for a small gadget.
 (1 stars) - Avoid! - Battery Killer!
I have to strongly agree - Even if it seems to work well at first, you'll eventually find that the Energizer 15-Minute Battery Charger either destroys or severly limits the usable recharge-life of your NimH batteries.
(1 stars) - Battery killer
This product worked well initially. After two year's ownership (with rather infrequent charging), most of my batteries are now id'd as defective (red blinking light on charger). After some research on the web, I believe the high charging rate reduces the life of the NiMHs because of overheating. Also, while it is optimized for energizer batteries, other NiMHs might not be optimally controlled and will result in significant overcharge and possibly accelerating irreversible damage on those batteries. Ultimately, you will have to decide if you want to trade a quick charge for battery life.
