NiMH Battery Charger Comparison Table

Brief description of each charger

Universal Smart Battery Charger and Conditioner: This universal battery charger is great for heavy or demanding household use. Charges all the common sizes of NiMH and NiCD high capacity batteries. (1,2,3 or 4 pcs of AA, AAA, C, D or 1 to 2 pcs of 9V)  Automatic charging current selection. Microprocessor charge control, timer safety override, and discharging (conditioning) function for all but the 9V batteries.

Universal Battery Charger: This universal battery charger is good for typical light-duty household use. Charges all the common sizes of NiMH and NiCD  batteries. (2 or 4 pcs of AA, AAA, C, D or 1 to 2 pcs of 9V) Compact size. Automatic charging current selection. Upside is that it is a very inexpensive charger. Downside is that it is not ideally suited for our highest capacity batteries (above 2800 mA) because you need to charge them multiple times to get them fully charged.

GP Powerbank Universal Charger: This universal battery charger is good for typical household use. Charges all the common sizes of NiMH and NiCD  batteries. (2 or 4 pcs of AA, AAA, C, D or 1 to 2 pcs of 9V) Stylish design and compact size. Automatic charging current selection.

LaCrosse Technology BC-900 Alpha Battery Charger and Recovery System: This charger is not only a smart charger, but has discharge features, automated recondition features and even a test feature. Shows battery voltage, charge status, etc. on it's built in digital display. Four separate charge channels - charge one, two three or four batteries at a time - even on individual charge programs, i.e.- test one battery while charging the others. Comes with four AA and four AAA batteries, four battery adapters and a carry case.

10-Cell AA/AAA NiMH Smart Battery Charger and Conditioner: This is a very specialized charger that slow charges any combination of one to ten NiMH or NiCD AA or AAA batteries at the same time. After the batteries are fully charged this charger maintains the charge with a slow trickle charge. Ideal for commercial applications or schools that need to charge lots of AA or AAA batteries, but don't need them to be charged quickly.

TurboCharger 4000 Smart Battery Charger and Conditioner: Very fast, microprocessor charge control, timer safety override, and discharging (conditioning) function.  One of our most popular chargers, a great value, especially when combined with high capacity NiMH batteries. This charger is designed to not overheat your batteries in spite of a very fast charge rate. This is my personal favorite for AA and AAA batteries!

POWER charger II+: Fast, 3-stage microprocessor charge control, timer safety override.  One of our most popular chargers, a great value, especially when combined with high capacity NiMH batteries. This charger is very similar to the POWERhaus Enhanced charger we used to sell but it has an additional LED and now includes a free 12V car cord.

TravelCharger 2000: Fast microprocessor charge control, timer safety override. Trickle charge mode to keep batteries charged up and ready for use. A very nice travel charger, and a good value.

Ultralast Travel Charger and four 2000 mAh NiMH batteries: This Smart Travel Charger is our only travel charger with four separate charge channels and comes with four Ultralast 2000 mAh NiMH batteries.

Battpack Battery Charger (AC, DC, Solar): This battery charger can hold ten batteries and can effectively charge up to ten batteries with the 120V AC adapter, up to six using the DC car adapter, or up to ten with the ISun solar charger as well. Can also be used as a portable power source with fully charged batteries by using the built in DC output feature. Not a fast charger ideally suited for heavy use with high capacity batteries, but a good flexible battery charger and power pack when you are out in the boonies. 

Smart charger with LCD display: This NiMH charger has four separate charge channels and can charge high capacity NiMH AA batteries in about two hours. Comes with a 100-240V AC adapter and a 12V DC cigarette adapter too.

Battery Charger 2-4-6-8: This very inexpensive battery charger is best suited for occasional use as a spare charger e.g. -  I have had customers ask for an inexpensive charger that will charge 6 batteries at a time for their specific needs. Their primary chargers would charge four batteries and then two, due to capacity and/or charge channel limitations, so this one suits them perfectly.

Speedy charger: No AC adapter required, low cost. Two separate charge channels.

Basic charger: Very low cost. Simple to use. Good for occasional use as a spare charger.

9V Single Battery Charger : Compact low-cost charger for rechargeable 9V batteries that works with either NiMH or NiCD batteries. Very slow trickle charge rate is always on when it is plugged in.
