POWEROWL 16 Bay AA AAA Battery Charger (Updated, High Speed Charging) with Smart LED Light and Plug, for NIMH NICD Rechargeable Batteries and More

I recently upgraded to this 16 Bay AA AAA Battery Charger, and it has truly transformed my rechargeable battery experience. The high-speed charging capability ensures that my batteries are ready to go in no time, providing convenience and eliminating the need for multiple chargers.The smart LED light indicators are a brilliant addition, offering a clear visual on the charging status of each battery. It's a small detail that makes a big difference, especially when you have a bunch of batteries charging simultaneously. The intuitive design of the charger also prevents overcharging, extending the lifespan of my batteries.The inclusion of both AA and AAA battery slots is incredibly practical, accommodating all my devices' power needs. The updated features make it a standout choice, and the plug design simplifies the charging process, making it versatile for home or travel use.Investing in this battery charger has not only saved me money on disposable batteries but also contributed to reducing environmental waste. It's a win-win situation, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. If you're in the market for a reliable, high-speed charger with smart features, look no further – this one's a winner!

The media could not be loaded. Big fan of power owl rechargeable batteries. This circle charger has a wall plug (not usb) and holds 16 batteries (AA or AAA or any combo of both. The entire charger doesn't have to be filled for your battery to be safe and get a good charge. The red light which indicates charging will turn green when that individual battery is fully charged. It's super easy to use the batteries pop in and out with ease. Positive end is in the middle, negative flat end hours on the outside. AA pop in flat, AAA pop in an angle (positive in same place as AA, negative/flat just below the AA slot). It doesn't get overheated, it's quiet. I love that I don't have to buy a outlet usb wall box, since it comes with a regular cord. I like that it charges 16, vs the 8 that their smaller rectangle charges handle. I love that the batteries are so spaced out - I use that space to place dead batteries that are next up to be charged, like a waiting line. Love! Huge recommendation!!!

It's reliable and efficient! Very easy to use

I just bought this at Christmas for the entire household to charge 24 NiMh AA's and 24 AAA's. I got tired of reaching for alkaline replacement batteries only to find out we'd run out. Then I'd go to a local retailer and spend more than $1 apiece for name brand disposable AA's or AAA's. So, I'm switching over to NiMh rechargeables wherever I can.What I like about this is the simplicity. I can charge up to 16 AA or AAA batteries at a time in any mix. But I suspect that other than charging them all initially, that will almost never happen as the batteries will never all deplete at the same time. They will run out of energy based on the application and the usage and there will probably never be more than 4 to 6 batteries charging at one time. Maybe a once a year recharge for all the batteries that have been sitting unused for months.What I like.....1.) Gets 16 batteries up and running at a time.2.) No need to charge in pairs. 16 separate charging circuits. Charge even or odd numbers of batteries. Charge AA's and AAA's at the same time in any mix.3.) Thermal and overcurrent protection for batteries along with short circuit protection.4.) Current automatically reduced to trickle charge when full to preserve battery capacity.5.) Multi stage charging. Pre charge test. Max charging. Float charge. Trickle Charge. All automatic.6.) "Repair". If a battery has been discharged to a low voltage the charger can recover the battery.7.) Simple to use. Plug in a battery. Red light = charging. Green light = fully charged.8.) The provisions for convection cooling seem good, even with all 16 slots in use. The charger never gets more than slightly warm to the touch. That's in part due to the low 200 ma charging current.What I don't like.....1.) Charging speed is slow. AA's limited to one current, 200 ma. AAA's limited to 150 ma. Other chargers will allow a range of charging like 300, 500, 800, or 1,000 ma. That will reduce charging times significantly. It can also reduce battery capacity and overall battery life. It's a double edged sword.2.) There is no readout for battery capacity or voltage. So you won't be able to tell if or when a battery is reaching the end of its useful life. I may buy a separate tester for that. I don't expect it to be a problem with 48 new top brand NiMh batteries for at least a few years.So this is a basic charger that covers all the important safety and convenience issues and can handle a large number of batteries at once. But it has a very low, one speed charge. So long wait times, but very gentle charging of batteries. Not a problem for me. I bought enough batteries that I can grab a fresh set and toss the depleted ones in the charger for 12 hours. I don't need them charged in 2 hours.So if you're the OCD type who stresses out of the capacity of every battery every time you charge it or, you're the impatient type who needs your batteries charged as fast as possible, this no frills charger may not be for you.But I just want the easiest simplest solution with the least effort from me. I don't want to damage the batteries I own. And I'm not looking to start any house fires. I'm willing to buy more batteries to make sure I'm never caught in a situation where I run out of usable batteries. This charger is fine for me.

Simply, this battery charger is outstanding. I read many many reviews and decided to take a chance on this charger. Those reviews that said they weren't charging the batteries quickly, probably don't know how to use it. I ran several tests with various batteries, and it worked great for all the double A's and triple A's. And it did charge quickly. I went from a depleted set of batteries to fully charged in just under 4 hours. I did a charge with all AA batteries and a charge with all AAA batteries and it worked great. I am very pleased with this charger and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone that has a lot of batteries to charge. Well worth the price and the results were exactly what I wanted.

Amazing idea! You can charge AA and/or AAA. Way cheaper than continuing to buy batteries. They charge pretty quick. Last a long time on one charge. Indicator light is red when they are charging. They turn to green when they are done. Take them off the charger and store them.

Good product
