EBL AA Battery Charger, 16 Bay Batteries Charger with 1-Hour Fast Charging with LCD Display and AC Plug Cable for AA AAA NiMH Rechargeable Batteries

I should have gotten this charger first... This one is absolutely amazing compared to most others in the same price bracket or lower.For example, I had the 16-slot circular powerowl charger before hand. Less than 6 months in and 2 slots burned out and can't be used. Oh and it takes 10 hours to charge your batteries...So finally, I got this EBL fast charger. And WOW does it charge fast. Their claim of 4x faster vs average is absolutely spot on and correct.It charges a 10% remaining EBL Gold Pro 1100mAh AAA in just 45 to 60 minutesIt charges depleted to 10% AA EBL Gold Pro 2800mAh batteries in about 2hrsThat is a absolutely amazing. And the best part is that it fast charged no matter how many batteries were in the charger. 1 or 16 it still charges them at 80% capacity amperage. This means if your cell is rated for 2000mAh the charger will feed it 1800mAh to charge it up to 90% before trickle charging to 100%No other charger on the market, unless you want to pay exorbitant prices, can do this wellAs far as durability goes, it is very solid. It feels absolutely well built. There is a high-quality feel to it.The LED status lights PER SLOT actively tell you how far along charging is. There is a total of 5 bars displayed. So every 20% charged a new bar is added. This means 4/5 bars on slot 4, for example, means at least 80% is charged thus far. Each bar represents 20% as it's 5 bars total.The charger also had automatic functions to recover over-depleted cells. I tried this functionality on 2 dead cells I have, and it actually worked. The cells took 3hrs to charge (2800mAh AA) but once charged, came back to lifeI have replaced recently all of my EBL standard batteries with their upgraded Gold Pro series, and they work very well with this EBL fast charger.I recommend looking into the Gold versions of EBL - the main benefit is a 25% more capacity is delivered, and they maintain 90% charge even at 3 years or more. That's the gold standard in the industry and EBL batteries and battery chargers work flawlessly together. It's a great idea to pick up this EBL fast charger, especially if you also own EBL batteries. They work perfectly togetherThis charger is easily the absolute best you can buy in this price bracket. Nothing else even comes close

I love having the rechargeable batteries so I don't have to throw away used batteries, imagining them poisoning our land and oceans. This one has many batteries and works well. It shows exactly how charged your batteries are so you can easily select fully charged ones and they charge very quickly. I keep extras so I've always got some charging. Great product!

very fast charger and fits a lot

I have been using a different model of EBL battery charger for years now. My old model only charges up to 4 batteries at once. and it typically takes a couple of hours or so to do this. Eventually one of the 4 ports stopped working, so now only 3 of 4 ports work. Although it is still a pretty good charger, I wanted an even better model, and this unit seems to be just that. Besides the 16 battery capacity, it seems to charge the batteries faster than my old model does, which is a plus. I've only had this new unit for a couple of weeks, but so far it appears to be a very good charger. I hate wasting money on regular batteries; they last a little while, then die & you buy more. Not to my liking. I would rather buy a good charger and use only rechargeable batteries. Try one today & save some money!

I have close to 200 Eneloop AA/AAA's that get recharged in batches. Using the Panasonic factory 4-slot chargers has been tedious, needing to use banks of them back to back. I was eager when I found this EBL 16 port charger, which would be far more convenient. I have a different EBL multi-battery charger that charge EBL and Amazon Basics C batteries well, so I had high expectations of this AA/AAA charger.At first I thought it was charging the Eneloop batteries quickly and to capacity. It would even resurrect some Eneloops gone bad that would no longer charge on the Panasonic charger. But I later noticed that the charged batteries would not last as long. When I put a battery meter to the EBL charged batteries, it would show a partial charge. If I put them back in the EBL charger, it would show a full charge. If I then put them in the Panasonic charger, they would charge for 4-5 more hours to full capacity and last the expected duration of use.The EBL charger does charge the Eneloops but not to full capacity, and it doesn't seem to measure the charged capacity of the Eneloops accurately. This is consistent across over 100 Eneloops from different years. I didn't have other brand AA/AAA's to test.There is at least 1 review from someone who said Eneloops are charged well. I can't recommend this product for Eneloops, and if you get it, I do recommend verifying right away that the batteries get fully charged. Unfortunately by the time I figured this out, it was long past the return cutoff date.

Great Product
