ANSMANN Powerline 4 Smart AA & AAA Battery Charger For NiMH NiCD Rechargeable Batteries with UK Plug and Multi LED Colour Display - Fast Individual Charging and Monitoring - 3 Yr Warranty

This is a great asset. I have recently bought a load of rechargeable batteries AA and AAA and this is invaluable in keeping them all charged up. Great price too.

I have a number of remotes/cupboard lights that take 3 AAAs. Most chargers can only do 2 or 4 at a time making it awkward, This charger charges each cell on a different control circuit so that you can charge any number 1-4 at a time, and allows mixed AA/AAA type charging at the same time. It even tells you when a cell is worn out - they do have a finite life.

Nothing to fault this charger. Good value pricewise and well made. 4☆ due to slightly slower than others in charging.

Bought as a present - I'm told it works well. Worth the price.

When you fit the UK plug adaptor the charger is upside down! Can't comment on longevity as I have just received it.

It does fit directly into your home socket

Works fine on some batteries, but I put 4 AA NiMH batteries in and it said they were all faulty, refusing to charge them. Put them in a different charger and they charged fine. So be careful with what you try to charge.

I guess you get use to it but the uk plug connects upside down (writing upside down in the front) and at least initially getting batteries in and out seems less intuitive. Product may prove to be fine but not a good indication when a pretty basic design element is undertaken ignorant of uk usage.Given ease of use score low as ease of use shouldn’t even be something one needed to consider
