Energizer Recharge Basic Charger 4.3 5 82 82
Great-Useful- Product Very handy necessity for my needs. Keep 2 batteries charging at all times. Compact - fast & stress free!! May 4, 2012
Great Product!!! This is the most compact and easiest to use charger I have ever used. It plugs directly into the outlet, no cords. It has the option of charging 2 or 4 batteries at a time. I think it is pretty quick, I really don't have a lot of experience with newer chargers. The batteries last a LONG time after they are charged. I only use the energizer lithium rechargeable batteries in my digital camera, remote controls and wireless mouse now. No more searching for batteries, the freshly charged ones are on the charger, just unplug when charging is complete. May 3, 2012
Nice I use this with other batteries I have and it works great. First one I got 5 years ago and it just keeps on working. love the charger. May 2, 2012
Who knew battery chargers could be so handy I had not had a battery charger before and a friend was telling me that she had one and how awesome it is. I can listen to music at work only on my mp3 player so she went and got one for me and it is so handy. I dont know what i did before without it. totally awesome. May 2, 2012
Energizer Basic Charger This is a great product. Don,t let the price discourage you. You will save more in the long run. This is a must have for battery users. Not only will you save money, you will also be doing your part for the environment. No need to dispose of batteries after they run dead. Just recharge. May 2, 2012
Exactly what I expected it to do! I use the double A's in my camera flash (s) and remote triggers and couldn't be happier. They work even after sitting idle for 3-6 months. when they are discharged, it is only a couple of hours until I'm fully charged again. May 2, 2012
holds up under heavy use these batteries are great for individuals that use batteries daily or often in the work or hobbie. hold up to mutiple recharging with out undue brake down of the durability of the useage during the life of the battery. May 2, 2012
Product that saves me money every day This product saves me money everyday. Our world has become a battery operated world and having rechargable batteries that last longer is a better way to go. It only takes a few minutes to charge the batteries and I have confidence that they will last longer than ordinary batteries. And it's so much better for the environment. May 2, 2012

Answer: 
Yes, you need an electrical transformer 220 to 110 for 6Watts. Write down the info from the charger and ask for a transformer that matches those options at the electrical shop.

Answer: 
It appears that you are asking about the CHVC3 charger. The datasheet indicates this charger is designed for 120 VAC 60 Hz. It is not designed for any other voltage inputs. You can find more info at http://data.energizer.com/PDFs/chvc...

Answer: 
The PDF file suggested by the Energizer staff is - NOT - the correct one for the Basic charger shown in the product image here. It's for the "Simple" (probably older model #); the correct one is: http://data.energizer.com/PDFs/chcc.pdf.

HOWEVER neither user manuals states that there is any automatic shutoff. For this "Basic" model, all it says is "Note: Remove batteries when charging time is complete. #...)." next a chart of batteries. In other words, there seems to be risk of over-charging.

It seems logical there would be an automatic shut-off but why is that NOT specified to the the consumer-user? One seems to have to go and buy an separate alarm/timer which is not cost effective.

There is also no mention that one has to charge at least 2 batteries at a time -- AND if one is more depleted than the other, how is one to know when both are fully charged?

I understand this the lowest or entry level charger but the lack of information or instructions causes people to return it and also give it bad reviews at Amazon, etc.

Unless I get some infromation here and/or when I call Energizer soon, I'll be returning mine to Home Depot soon.

Sincerely,

P.S. Knight

Hi Shibu, thank you for this great question, I would be happy to assist you. Regarding this charger when the batteries are placed in the charger the lights will glow green, this charger has a automatic shut off so depending on the MAH ratting of the battery it will shut off roughly around 8.5 hours.

You will find the manual on our website.

Thank you for this great question, I would be happy to assist you. Unfortunately it is difficult to answer this question because our chargers are packed with different battery and mah numbers. My best advice is to look at the mah ratting through the packaging; it is located on top of the battery directly under "AA". It could be 2000/2300/1400/1300 mah, I do apologize for this inconvenience.

I was wondering how to tell when the battery is charged since there is only one light. Typically chargers have a red and green light green meaning charged and red meaning currently charging. I was also wondering if I could use batteries of a different brand in this charger? The energizer batteries seem to have short life and need something little more reliable.

Answer: 
Thank you for your great question. This charger is our Basic Charger. It does not have a shutoff mechanism like a lot of others do. With this charger you need to keep track of the different charge times from the instructions. After charging for the correct amount of time we recommend to immediately unplug the charge and remove the batteries. Here is a list of charge times for some batteries. AA batteries 1300mAh - 2000mAh need to be charged between 8 -12.5 hours. AA batteries 2100mAh - 2500mAh need to be charged 13 - 18 hours. AAA batteries need to be charged for 10-12 hours. This charger should charge any NiMH battery however it has only been tested with Energizer Rechargeable Batteries. If you ghave any further questions please feel free to let us know.
