Should Rechargeable Batteries Be Stored Fully Charged

Awesome rechargeable batteries that allow me to have less waste. They do take a good while to charge, but they give you over 8+ when fully charged. I am using them in Shure SLXD Beta58 mics, and using the drop in charger. Money WELL spent.

Like this head light very much. It is still on the AA batteries it came with and I have the rechargeable battery fully charged and waiting for use. I bought this because my son has taken my older one for his own use. The only downside is it has no port to recharge the battery. So I put it in my older one for a charge. BUT I LOVE IT......

It does the job. The batteries are easy to get in and out, and never fall out on their own. I use rechargeable Eneloops, button up for fully charged and button down for needs recharge. It's a great system to keep things organized.

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.

If you use rechargeable batteries, this is a must. I love that each battery is charged on it's own circuit so the all gat fully charged, and not just charged until the first one is full. The Discharge feature is also great, and valuable to refresh batteries.

Great value, easy to use, comes with many accessories for one low price. Easy to set up, even the rechargeable batteries came fully charged.

Prefer these to regular batteries because they are easier to keep around, fully charged.

Batteries came fully charged and ready to use. No complaints.

Great rechargeable battery. Has a little green led to tell you it's fully charged. Also has a plug on the battery where the charging cable can plug in. I bought it as an extra battery for the XPH30R Headlamp I bought here as well.

Good batteries, when fully charged it's enough for about 4-5 hours of a photoshoot. No complaints so far.
