Energizer Recharge Smart Charger 2.5 5 84 84
No Good I just bought a Smart Charger today. I put in batteries to charge. The directions say it will show 5,4,3,2, or 1. Mine is showing an 8. Then, after a few hours, I had x's in all batteries on the display. But they are Nickel-Hydride batteries. I don't understand. And when I checked the batteries, they're all charged, but the charger said they were bad. I think I'll bring it back & get my money back. May 10, 2013
BAD BAD WORSE I spent $50.00 for the Charger with a starter set of batteries and an extra set of batteries. Nothing works. Chargers does not charge, batteries won’t hold a charge. Read the directions over and over, nothing works. Do not buy. April 19, 2013
Excellent I've used this product for over two years with no problems. Worth every penny. April 3, 2013
Will not Hold AAA Batteries This unit spits the AAA Battieries out everytime I plug it in. I thought I was buying the Best Charger. Turns out it will only Hold AA Battieries. Not worth the Money!! March 27, 2013
poor I have an number of AA everready rechargables. I have had lithium, NIMh and Nicad over the years. Never had much luck with any of them. I assume the cheap chargers don't have the best circuitry in them to properly condition and charge but not overcharge the batteries. Or maybe it is also the batteries. March 25, 2013
Does what it's suppose to do. Good product but would like for it to be able to charge 1 battery at a time instead of in pairs. Many devices of mine require 3 batteries so there is no need to charge an extra battery for no reason. I knew this before I purchased it so I can't complain, it does what it's suppose to do. March 21, 2013
It's smarter than me. I really haven't paid any attention to whether a battery was lithium or ni-cad, and have been charging lithium on my previous nicad charger. When I tried on this one, it would have nothing to do with this, and had four red icons lit. Wasn't sure what they meant, so asked my good friend Google. Like the countdown feature as well. Only suggestion I'd make is to put the meaning of the red icons on the back of the unit. March 16, 2013
Just like they all say. Pretty much dead on the second time i ever tried using it. Product is ridiculous and all the other review comments verify this. As soon as i plugged it in along with the battery, nothing even happens, the thing doesn't even admit to the fact there's a battery plugged in. Worked first time, second time, nothing. And now it simply doesn't work! Shoddy! March 16, 2013

single battery/odd numbers?

can the Energiser 'recharge' smart charger charge individual or odd numbers of rechargeable batteries.

I understand the need to keep the same set of alike batteries working together but have a number of devices which use odd battery numbers and have chargers which do not allow me to charge a single battery or 3 batteries at a time etc.

thank you for your consideration in advance

Thank you for this great question, I would be happy to assist you. Regarding our CHP4 smart charger, it requires charging batteries in pairs, so you may only charge 2 or 4 batteries in this charger. I see you also mentioned Alkaline; this charger is NOT designed to charge Alkaline batteries only NIMH 1.2v rechargeable batteries. I do apologizer for this inconvenience, if you are looking for a charger that will charge odd number of batteries please look into our rapid charger CH15MN2.

Thank you for this great question, I would be happy to assist you. We do no recommend leaving the charger plugged into the wall or the batteries to be stored in the charger. For safety reason, it is always important to unplug the charger after each and every charge. The charger is not designed for storage of the batteries; it is common to store the batteries like you would any other battery.

Why won't certain batteries recharge?

I've had this charger about a year now.. and recently it won't charge some of my batteries (i have 12 total). Sometimes the red x flashes, sometimes the whole top display flashes, and still other times it will charge just fine. It isn't any specific batteries, the older ones actually do better. It is very frustrating when I put batteries in to charge, and later on when I need them they aren't charged at all. The are all energizer recharge

Answer: 
The charger will test the batteries prior to charging. If the charger determines there is a bad battery, it will not charge. NiMH batteries have a shelf life of 3 to 5 years. If the batteries are in this range, we recommend purchasing replacement batteries. If the batteries are less than 3 years old, please call our customer service department at 800-383-7323.

Answer: 
Thank you for this great question, I would be happy to assist you. When it comes to our NIMH rechargeable batteries, if they are not the "pre-charged" batteries, they will deplete their charge from 1/2-1% per day if they sit idol. Depending on the type of device that is being used, it could drain the battery down much faster as well. Our new 1400 mah AA batteries and 700 man AAA batteries are now "pre-charged" they will hold their charge for up to one year after a full complete charge.

We do recommend charging the batteries the first time you purchase them

Hi Rose, thank you for this great question, I would be happy to assist you. When it comes to placing the AAA NIMH batteries in this charger you want to set them on the contact located in the back of the bay.

When you look at the front of the charger you will see two contacts, one placed in the front and one in the back. You want to use the back contact.

Answer: 
Thank you for this great question, I would be happy to assist you. Our chargers only go up to 2500mah batteries, if you are charging 2900mah batteries, one of two things could happen. The battery could only get 2500 mah charge or it might take a bit longer to charge the battery. For example, for this charger a 2300mah battery will take 5 hours to charge, so your 2900mah batteries could take about 10hrs if the charger and battery are compatible. When the batteries are fully charged all of the bars in the large icon will be solid.
