GPunto Neutral Newbie October 23, 2011 Share October 23, 2011 Didn't know non-rechargeable alkaline batteries can be re-used with this charger. Anyone tried? It can re-activate dying rechargeable batteries too! http://tinyurl.com/groupon-charger ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mits_jc 5th Gear October 23, 2011 Share October 23, 2011 Just don't use the recharged batteries on low draining devices like alarm clocks/remote controls...sure to leak. Same goes for recharging the same battery over and over, max 5 cycles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

5936 1st Gear October 23, 2011 Share October 23, 2011 At first also scared. but I used the Varta 15min charger. It did not heat up during charge. the warm level is almost liken to charging rechargable battery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPunto Neutral Newbie October 23, 2011 Author Share October 23, 2011 i have dozen of old eneloop batteries that i use with my camera flash they can hardly hold charge so i am thinking if this charger can help to "fix" them else it is a waste to throw them away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily1986 5th Gear October 23, 2011 Share October 23, 2011 You can't go wrong with battizer. I think it was researched and conceptualised in Singapore. NTU or NUS i am not sure but the capabilities are quite cool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battizer selling $99, enough for me to buy 2 dozen rechargeable batteries already the groupon deal at $23.90 definitely more affordable, worth a try http://tinyurl.com/groupon-charger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the battizer sure is expensive but it wont appeal to us unless we really charge alot alot of batteries and battery turnover rates plus charging cycles matter alot to us.

5936 1st Gear October 24, 2011 Share October 24, 2011 YES I got the charger from SPC this morning. Guess what. Got a popped battery on first charge. Alkaline battery had a small "explosion", a soft pop sound and gel /creamy battery liquid oozed out. Cleaned up and that slot can't be used after that. Other 3 battery slots still can use. Warranty already voided within the first 3 hours after I bought. Me itchy hand went to open up charger to see inside and clean up the stain. Got to try with more batteries before deciding if it's good or bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
