This may come as a bit of a shock to you, but companies like Duracell & Eveready want to sell you more batteries. Yes, it’s true.
So, when they make a charger for their big box & hardware store clients to sell, they design it with one thing in mind…
1. Convenience.
No one likes to wait for batteries to charge, so they make 1-hour, and even as fast as ’15-minute’ chargers.

What they don’t tell you is that the charging rates they apply to the batteries push the limits of what the battery chemistry can handle. And once the charging is complete, and the chemistry relaxes, chances are that your cells are not even completely filled!

Of course stressing your batteries, and not completely filling them over and over will likely lead to one thing… premature failure.
Which is another way to get you to buy more of their batteries.

There are better options out there, and in this department, we showcase quite a few of them. Not only do the chargers we carry use proper charging algorithms to ensure a full charge and long life, but they offer multiple power input connections for people on the go. From ordinary household power to USB, or 12V car adaptors that also work with solar.
