Digital Concepts CH-1800 Overnight AA/AAA Battery Charger with 4 AA 2500 mAh Batteries

I was able to get this for less than $5 shipped and it has been amazing. I use the four batteries for my Wii remotes and they hold a decent charge. They last well and have held up well so far (over a year).

Only downside is the long charge time (20 hours) but you just have to be vigilant and be sure to unplug the charger. For those people complaining about the batteries not lasting, they probably have not taken care of the batteries. Charge only when completely drained, charge for the recommended time and you will have no issues.

There's no automatic shutoff. The batteries can be dramatically overcharged and may well explode. They were too hot to touch when I unplugged the charger... After that the charger was thrown away.

This is absolutely worthless!!! It takes forever (at least a week) to charge batteries and you have to watch so it doesn't overheat. I watch it like a hawk and leave it plugged in when I am home and unplug it when I leave for work. I've done that for about 2 weeks trying to charge the batteries and I still haven't gotten the "green lights". I would not waste your money. This is one of those "you get what you pay for" items. It is inexpensive to buy but a piece of garbage that doesn't work and you have to watch. Honestly, I wouldn't even give this a one star rating.

Found this item to be of adequate quality for the money. One drawback. It does not shut off automatically. You will have to remind yourself to remove from the receptacle within 24 hours or the batteries and unit will become hot. Feel I got my monies worth..

Batteries charged ok and work with no problem.
I bought it for the batteries (great price for
AA's) inspite of some negative review for the
charger. I did not encounter any problems with
the charger as others did.
