Energizer Recharge Universal Charger 3.4 5 28 28
Owned less than a year, used 4 times. Now broken Purchased this item brand new from a store that was closing along with 18 AA Energizer rechargeable batteries to use in the battery grip of my camera. I used it 4 times and now every time I plug it in the LCD screen flashes for a second and then turns off. I should have done my homework and researched this model because if I did I would have used the money I spent and invested in a different one. This unit did work well the 4 times it actually worked. May 3, 2013
GARBAGE This charger does not charge to full capacity. Used it twice, throwing it away! DURACELL ALL THE WAY!!!!!!! April 30, 2013
Work Just died after 3 month of use Just wish for more craftsmanship in this item no information on where to request a replacement need to buy other one April 6, 2013
User manual I bought this charger thinking it had a trickle charge feature but no where can I find either on the package or in the manual any kind of specs. I don't know if it has a discharge or a trickle charge feature. March 3, 2013
Only Charges AA and AAA batteries in twos Many of my devices use 3 AAA or AA batteries at a time. How do I recharge them when I can only charge even numbers of batteries! This would be a great charger, without this restriction. February 19, 2013
Batteries lasted 2 days I bought rechargeable batteries in Hong Kong which is made for 240 volts outlets. It is a energizer NIMH battery charger with AA batteries that say 2000mAh printed on them. After I used them a couple days the low battery icon on my camera came on as soon as I put fully charged batteries in it. When I got back to the USA I saw that the charger would work fromm 100-240 volts so I thought it may work in the USA. And it's the same thing. Plus when I charge them the green light comes on and goes off after about 2-4 minutes. Can I use the Charger I bought in Hong Kong which is made for 240 since the adapter says from 100-240 volts. By the way all this started in Hong Kong not in the USA. I just use it here to take 2-3 pics then the battery dies. Thanks February 1, 2013
So disappointed Not even a year old and its already dead.. This is the second time this is happened to me with this model charger, I know the warranty will cover it but it takes so much time to process. Last time they sent me a check for $25 which didn't even cover the cost of purchasing another one. If they send me another check I'm buying a different brand. January 21, 2013
Dont waste your money Bought mine from Amazon too. Spent $40. Was really excited. It crashed in less than 3 months. January 15, 2013

What does the Bad Battery light mean?

I have a pair of AAA Eneloop batteries in the charger. After charging for a while, the Bad Battery light starts flashing. The batteries seem fully charged and there's nothing obviously wrong with them. So what is the Bad Battery light indicating?

Answer: 
Since energizer's battery chargers are designed to recharge energizer's battery, eneloop batteries can be mistaken as bad battery. :(

Answer: 
EnergizerTim, the batteries appear to be good. They're both charged to 1.37V.

How does the charger decide that a cell is bad? These are Eneloop batteries, Sanyo's low self-discharge (LSD) brand. According to Wikipedia, LSD cells have lower capacity than regular NiMH. Is it possible that the charger is detecting that and concluding the battery is bad?

Answer: 
Thank you for your great question. If the charger is showing the bad battery icon then that means that there is a bad cell in the charger and discontinues the charging process. You may want to try to charge another set of batteries as the ones you have may not be able to charge anymore. Hope this helps. Any additional questions, let us know here or give us a call at 1.800.383.7323.

Can it charge 1 battery at a time?

Does this charger require you to charge in pairs or can you charge 1 battery individually (in relation to sizes AA, AAA, C, D)?

Answer: 
The manual for this charger specifically states charging currents for 1-4 AA batteries, therefore I would guess that it would accept anywhere between 1-4 AA/C or D batteries, It also specifies that it may take 1/2/3 or 4 AAA batteries.

I would guess that the first answer (the one that actually uses the device, not the one that commented without reading or using) would be more correct than the other one.

Answer: 
Yes, I have charged on mine which holds 4 AA or AAA one or three or whatever number up to 4 at a time. My Canon takes 4 AA so I just have two sets I rotate out.
The charger will blink red if the battery is wonky aka the connections are flipped, the connections are dirty or if the battery has reached the end of its life. Green = go!
This is the instruction set for my 4-15 minute charger that may be helpful:

Since this charger only charges in pairs, is it OK to charge two batteries and then the third battery with one of the fully charged ones?

Answer: 
I've never had a problem sticking one battery in to charge alone. My 15 minute holds 4 and yeah I've definitely been able to charge in any number I please.
However, if the instructions say only in pairs, then only do it in pairs. And be careful of your mah battery specifications!!
It will blink red if it can't charge just one battery or if the battery connection is bad or if the battery is incapable of chargine aka dead.
Also, if it specifies in pairs, stick one of the previously charged batteries in with the dead one and go that way. It will only charge the ones needing a charge ^.^
Here are the instructions I found for my 15 minute charger that may be helpful:

Answer: 
Thank you for your great question! Both of these products are very good chargers but there are a few differences. The Universal charger has a 6 hour maximum charge time where the Universal Value charger has a 16.5 hour maximum charge time. Another difference is that the Universal charger can charge up to 8 AA or AAA batteries at a time and the Universal Value charger can only charge 4 AA or AAA batteries. However, the Universal Value charger is able to charge 2 9V batteries where the Universal charger can only charge 1 9V. Hope this helps. Any additional questions, please let us know here or give us a call at 1.800.383.7323.

I tried charging some old NiMH batteries and some were bad. Now, when I try charging new Energizer Universal AA, the same bad battery state returns, even after removing power completely, and despite inserting brand new batteries.
