Customer Reviews
Works as expected - but the smell...
I have a LaCrosse BC-900 and bought this to hoping to get a smaller smart charger to travel with. However, it's only slightly smaller in size and weight. The batteries that came with it worked fine as 'pre-charged' batteries; I won't quibble about a few percent max storage between brands (I have the Kodak brand as well). However, no one warned about the intense chemical smell upon opening the package. It would be a disaster packing it with your clothing on travel, and having them smell like strong mothballs in a meeting. After a few weeks of opening the package, it still reeks. This is the first electronics I have ever had that smells like that.
Best AA and AAA charger I've used
Ok, it charges batteries, removable plug, auto volt for world use, automatically powers off when batteries are fully charged, so on.
Additionally, it can be used to power up or even charge your USB devices. Yes! it functions like an external battery pack for your USB devices. I was really suprised when I read this feature in its little instructional paper. The feature wasn't mentioned in the product details (or I didn't notice it when i bought this) and I didn't read any reviews about it. So I tested my drained PSP with this charger. I put in 4 AA battery, pressed and held the button until the USB led light turned on, plugged in the USB cable to my PSP...... charger indicator light in PSP lit to orange (meaning unit is charging) and I was able to power up my PSP as well!!!
Note though that this feature will only work for USB devices using 6 volts and below. 4 AA batteries are equal to 6 volts =D.
Must buy for your AA/AAA battery powered devices and even USB devices ;).
Oh yeah, it also charges USB devices directly from an outlet hehe.
Buyer Beware! "Mobile", but for EXTRA $$...
Duracell Mobile Charger With 2AA Pre Charged Rechargeable Nimh Batteries, CEF23DX2
I purchased this charger and paid the extra money (compared to the value charger) because it was supposed to be a smart charger (able to charge batteries individually, regardless of state, etc.) and, just as importantly, a MOBILE car charger for house or car. Well, I just got it today and guess what, no car charger included, despite the write-up saying you can use it in the auto. So, I guess this "mobile" charger is different than the others... IF you buy an extra auto adapter for $xx.xx. Very deceptive and crappy on Amazon's & Duracell's part, since they both highlight the use of it as a 12V auto charger and make no mention that the cord is not included. Aside from the USB charging port, (which I already HAVE a B&D USB charger in my car), this unit is no more "mobile" than any other charger. Really wondering what I paid extra for, since this charger costs more and comes with only two batteries compared to the usual four. If you want mobile, but something else or be prepared to pay more than you thought with the Duracell CEF23DX2.
