Energizer Recharge Universal Value Charger 3.2 5 17 17
UH what's up with the light charger? So I just opened it 24hrs ago. I charged 2 nine volt batteries. one fully charged one didn't. I used one while charging the other one. not sure if it's charging but the green light still comes on. I tried using the 2nd 9 volt battery slot and the green light doesn't come on anymore. It's completely dead. only one works right now. What in the world? I better find one that works and keeps working or i've just wasted 20 bucks on two 9 volt rechargeable batteries which will never get charged if I continue having this problem with future rechargeable stations. Im gonna be really mad if i have to continue buying regular batteries because they cost too much! REally mad right now. August 5, 2012
puzzling I bought it because I needed a reliable charger and I tried to see if it was accurate so I had i charge my half dead AA 2300mah 1.5v batteries charge on the compact one and then on this one to see if the light would go off and it didn`t.so i checked them with my multimeter and each one was about 1.444v. July 8, 2012
it does everything it does evrything i need it to do and more...and i dont have to buy different chargers for different sizes.and can charge multiple batteries..... June 18, 2012
This charger can handle any battery size from AAA to D and is very easy to use. This charger is easy to use and takes up very little space. I have had it for only 2 months but have recharged batteries several times for our computer mouse and for numerous flashlights. I like the feature that turns off the charger automatically after about 16 hours. This saves power, is good for the batteries, and doesn't require me to keep checking to see if the batteries are fully charged. I would recommend this product to anyone who uses rechargeable batteries frequently. June 10, 2012
Very versatile. I love that it can charge every type of battery I have, but it is still very compact. I think with a few tweaks to the internals though it would be able to charge 8 AA or AAA batteries at a time. May 4, 2012
Money Saver With so many battery powered devices we have this is a must have along with a supply of the rechargeable batteries. My digital camera is a battery hog which uses AA batteries was keeping me broke until I got this recharger. I am now in the 4th year with the same 4 Energizer rechargeable batteries I purchased where before I was using 4 to 8 regular batteries per month. Amount saved --A Lot. also use it to recharge remote control, motion and fire alarm and flashlight batteries. Most things I buy cost but this really does save enough to pay for itself quickly. I rate it as a must have. December 31, 2011
Love chargers but... this one just did not seem to work- maybe its the machine but it took a long time to charge, batteries had to be placed exactly too December 28, 2011
This product is reliable. This product has great features, use is most every other day to charge Energizer batters for camera, flashlights, flashgun, etc. Works great. December 15, 2011

For instance, after installing 4 AAA batteries and plug in charger, the 2 green lights go on. The chart says to charge 4 hours. My question is: If I'm not around at the time they are fully charged, will the lights go off and charger turn off automatically?

Thank you for your great question. The Energizer Universal Value charger has a timer controlled shutoff mechanism. This means that the charger will discontinue charging after 16.5 hours, not when the battery may already be fully charged. Hope this helps. Any additional questions, let us know here or give us a call at 1.800.383.7323.

Thank you for this great question, I would be happy to assist you. Regarding our chargers all lights should be coming on for you when charging the batteries. Depending if you are charging 2 or 4 batteries could make a difference. If you are just charging 2 batteries, make sure they are placed in pairs either on the left or right hand side or the lights won’t come on. If you are doing every thing correctly and you’re still not getting any lights, I would encourage you to call us and let one of our representatives assist you under the terms of our guarantee. 1-800-383-7323.

Again thank you for taking the time to contact us.

Why are rechargeable batteries 1.2 Volts?

A standard Alkiline is 1.5 volts so if I use rechargables in a 12 volt system will I lose performance?
I would only be getting 9.8 volts using 8 batteries.
The application I want to use the rechargeables in is a portable radio that takes 8 "D" batteries and the Akilines don't last long so I was thinking rechargable and then I found out they are only 1.2 volts each.

Also do you guys make a charger that will charge 8 "D" batteries at one time?

Answer: 
Thank you for these great questions, I would be happy to assist you. The electrochemical reaction of the chemicals used in rechargeable NiMH batteries result in a voltage slightly less than batteries using a standard 1.5 volt alkaline chemistry. However, the alkaline battery voltage slowly drops as they are used in a device. Therefore, devices are designed to function within a voltage range. Typically devices will function with a battery voltage between 1.6 volts and 0.9 volts per cell. Rechargeable NiMH batteries start out with a slightly less voltage but will maintain this voltage (flatter discharge curve) better than alkaline batteries. NiMH rechargeable batteries supply voltage in the range typically required by 1.5 volt applications and therefore are suitable for use in these devices.

At this time Energizer does not have a charger that will charge 8 D cell batteries at the same time.

Thank you for this great question, I would be happy to assist you. Regarding this charger (CHFCV2) if you are charging the AA/C/D cell batteries the light will shut off for you after the correct amount of time. When it comes to the AAA/9v batteries the lights will NOT shut off due to the low MAH number, these batteries will have to be removed manually when the time is completed. If the lights are flashing, then there is typically something wrong with the batteries. I have listed the following issues that could be a cause of a flashing light.
Charging different MAH numbers in charger
Charging different brands at the same time
Charging NICD batteries vs. NIMH
Old batteries (over two years old)
Dirty contacts (easy clean, take pencil eraser to contacts in charger, top and bottom)

Please feel free to call our consumer affairs office if you have any additional questions.

Thank you for this great question, I would be happy to assist you. We do not recommend keeping the charger plugged in longer then the time allowed. When charging the 9v battery this charger will not shut off for you, so there is a chance of over charging. You want to make sure you remove the battery as soon as the charge is completed.
