Aa Batteries Nimh Or Lithium

This works super well with the Panasonic eneloop pro AA Rechargeable NiMH Batteries (1.2V, 2550mAh) that we bought. We haven't had any issues are happy with its performance. So glad we made the transition to rechargeable batteries and this charging station. We are going to save a lot of money by not buying dozens of AA batteries per month now!

Finally a battery tester that will read NIMH batteries, along with Alkaline, Lithium and 9Volt. The pulse load gives a more accurate reading of what battery to use in a portable flash unit. Very easy to use and packs in easily when in the field.

Battery charger for up to 8 AA or AAA NiMH NiCd batteries. It also will tell you if a battery is no good. You can also completely drain a battery on it before a recharge, which extends the life and strength of the battery. The only setback is that this is not a fast charger, so extra batteries are needed if one is doing a lot of flash work with remotes.

* Use the Watson 8-Bay Rapid Charger for my AA NiMH batteries which power (2) Sennheiser EW100 G2 & G3 wireless mics & receivers, Sound Devices 302 Field Mixer and LitePanels CROMA camera mounted LED light. * Least expensive NiMH charger (did lots of GOOGLE Searches. One of the few chargers that allows the user to press a button and DISCHARGE and then recharge NiMH batteries. * Have nothing bad to say about the Watson 8-Bay Rapid Charger.

What else could you want in a AA/AAA NiMH/NiCd battery charger? It has eight LCDs showing the charging status for each battery, a discharge function to refresh the batteries, reverse polarity protection if the batteries are installed backwards, and a separate automatic shutoff for each battery when it is fully charged. And it can charge any combination of one or more AA, AAA NiMh and/or NiCd batteries. Its rated charging time is 3.6-4.6 hr for AA batteries and 1.6-2.0 hr for AAA's.

I've used a lot of NiMH chargers for my many AA batteries (speed lights, remotes, triggers, ect...) and most of them work great. This Watson 4-bay works great as well but I really like it because it makes it easy to see the status of each individual charing bay. I also like the fact that I can just plug it into a wall outlet and VIA the LCD display I can see how much longer I need to wait for a full charge on each battery. A big plus is that it charges at least 40% faster than my current chargers and that's a HUGE plus! [I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion].

I was going though a lot of batteries until I bought the rechargeable AA NIMH batteries. Now I just keep recharging and saving a lot of money.

I have been using Watson MX AA NiMH Rechargeable Batteries in my Canon 600 EX-RT II Speedlite for a couple of years now. They seem to last longer and hold full charge longer than other brands I have used in the past.

This is more than just a charger for your AA/AAA NiMH batteries. The condition feature lets you monitor the health of each battery while keeping them in tip top shape. That way you can revive some batteries that are no longer behaving they way they did when they were new, and remove from service batteries that are no longer holding a full charge. The only downside I've found is that it may not work with some non-Powerex batteries, -you may get a battery fault indication when you put them in the charger even though those batteries will work just fine in a conventional charger. This may be caused by batteries that have an internal impedance/resistance that's different from that of Powerex batteries.

These nimh AA batteries are a good value and at 2300mah provide good run time in my cameras and radio control gear. As usual, B&H is quick and concise with the shipping.
