Questionable durability [Posted on 2003-07-29]
I've seen other posts indicating their K200 broke after limited use. Same thing happened with mine... green lights no longer light up and batteries don't charge. This after limited use. Further, Kodak's website is useless vis a vis support: no user guide, no information about known problems, no troubleshooting. They really should support the products that they sell better. Product unquestionably is an unmitigated piece of junk. My only further complaint is that this site doesn't have ratings that go into negative territory, because that's what this product deserves; 1 star is an overstatement. In short, buy something else.
Works Great !!! [Posted on 2003-10-17]
I have this for 6 months now and it still works great. I read a review that theirs broke. I guess there are lemons,but mine works great and a fast charger. I use it for my digital camera.
More info! [Posted on 2003-12-14]
I have the K200 charger but can find little tech. info. on it. Do the green lights indicate a charged, or a discharged condition? Some of the reviews/descriptions of this charger make it sound as if it will charge regular or alkaline AA and AAA batteries. I don't know much about batteries, but I'm pretty sure they have to be Ni-MH or Ni-CD batteries (size AA or AAA) to be rechargable. Attempting to recharge regular or alkaline batteries might be hazardous.
A good little inexpensive charger [Posted on 2004-02-21]
I have used the K200 charger for about a year with good results. However, it comes with an inadequate user's guide, and I haven't found any additional information on Kodak's site. The "auto-off" timer would seem to indicate that batteries are protected from overcharging. However, the unit does heat up when plugged in, and the user's guide states that it should be unplugged after 8 hours. If that's the case, it should include a built-in beeper! Several times, I've left it plugged in for a couple days, with no apparent harm to batteries or charger.
Timer controlled Charger [Posted on 2004-03-24]
These type of charger seems to control the charging time by a timer that starts when you plug into power outlet. If you do not unplug it first before next use it will not restart charging. Very low tech if that is the case, and Kodak (or Energizer) may not want you to know it. I have one of these.
