This charger is fast and it does charge all batteries i have, including Sony, Panasonic and Duracell. It may have problem charging some old Nimb batteries where it red leds flashes but you can manually discharge those batteries until the empty (use them in any high drain devices) and try again. 3/4 worked for me.
It's super fast, but... [Posted on 2008-09-10]
Yep, the batteries charge in 15 minutes. Yippy skippy. However, even from the very beginning, the batteries that came with the charger will not hold their charge for more than 3 days - without even using them at all!
I bought this charger and the 4 batteries it comes with for my Sony digital camera. Even though it charges batteries in only 15 minutes, I often charge the batteries for my camera in the evening and place them inside the camera so it is ready for the next day. Sometimes I check and it shows a full charge. By the next morning, however, if I turn the camera on it shows that the batteries only have half their charge. They seem to provide less performance (in terms of number of photos I can take) than alkaline batteries, and have minimal standby time after charging.
I think the incredible speed of charging and the high heat generated during the fast charge from this charger ruins the batteries so that they do not hold a charge for as long as they are supposed to. This ends up being an inconvenience for me. I am disappointed and will be looking for another charger. For me, having my camera batteries last for at least a week on standby is more important than having the batteries charge in just a few minutes.
2 out of 2 broke immediately [Posted on 2008-09-12]
My first one began malfunctioning on vacation, blinking red and not recharging. I bought a second one. The second time I went to use it, the same thing happened - it just blinks red regardless of the batteries used or whether it's plugged into the wall or the car lighter.
Didn't even charge it's own batteries [Posted on 2008-09-15]
I tried 10 different AA batteries on this device, including the batteries that came with the package (two AAA and two AA batteries).
This device only charged one AA battery, and didn't even charge the two AA batteries that came with the package. It charged the AAA batteries which came with the package, however.
Neat idea. Poor quality. I'm returning this item.
It's Good! [Posted on 2008-09-19]
I got this charger to support our new digital cameras.
The charger I have has both an AC and a DC power cord, so you can charge while in your car, if you need to. It charges both 2200 and 2500 mHr Ni-MH batteries. The package I got had the charger, a set of batteries, and the power adapters. The model is CH15MN. It works very fast and it makes a little noise, with the fan going. It is very useful while at home and traveling.
