Ni Cd Rechargeable Battery Charger

Used it for 16850 and ni-cd. Display of state of the charge and battery is nice

Bought this to charge my set of pearstone Ni-Mh rechargeable batteries that i use in my flashgun. Works great recharges fast and i really like the lcd display that shows you the charging progress and when fully charged.

The Panasonic Eneloop Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries last a long time between charges. Plus, they don't leak like many single-use batteries do.

Good rechargeable batteries and charger.

Great day/night pictures but needs a rechargeable battery pack and a solar charger

My old rechargeable batteries wouldn't hold a charge after many years of usage. So I bought this 8-Bay Rapid Charger for AA / AAA NiMH or NiCd Rechargeable Batteries by Watson. I love the way this battery charger shows how much power is left in each battery, plus you can refresh the battery by discharging and recharging them. Great battery charger.

It comes with a rechargeable battery. That being said the charger that came with it did not work. The light is really bright and works well. I would recommend placing it on the front of the gun and not on the optics to reduce muzzle climb, as it’s heavier and wider than the free one.

The rechargeable battery charges with a usb - cord you already have - genius! No unique separate charger required. Way better than replacing AAA batteries periodically.

This is the second one that I use. I use a lot of rechargeable batteries for Speedlights, wireless accessories, flashlights, ham radio equipment, test equipment and many household devices. I had been using a brute force Radio Shack charger as the first step in charging batteries, followed by putting them into the Watson unit for final charging and analysis. Many of the batteries charged in the RS unit were not fully charged when the unit indicated the charge on all 8 batteries was complete. This was obvious when I then put the batteries into the Watson charger and it evaluated them individually. With the Watson unit, every battery is fully charged. The Watson is not a classic fast charger, but it does seem to charge the individual batteries at the appropriate rate for that individual battery's capacity. I like the ability to see the progress on each battery, and as soon as its fully charged, I can replace it without disturbing the other batteries on charge. That speeds up the time for recharging a large group of batteries. The ability to mix AA and AAA cells on the same unit at the same time is also a great feature. Another plus is that it can be used with the 12v car adapter so I can charge batteries on the road. As my use of rechargeable batteries increases, I'll probably get a third unit.

This charger can charge up to eight rechargeable batteries. It can also discharge them first, if you want, but I don't think that's at all necessary with NiMH batteries. A small display panel below each battery shows the discharge/charge state of the battery in that slot.
