Product Information

Ideal for situations where a top up-charge is needed and where you need the assurance that the charge level is accurate and safe to minimise any possible risk of battery damage. As we explain in our guide to the best rechargeable batteries, the technology has vastly improved over the past few decades, and many rechargeable batteries (including our picks) can hold a charge even longer than their disposable cousins. The AA Solar Battery Charger is suitable for Car and Caravan + many other 12v batteries (Motorhome, Motorbike, Golf Buggy, Electric Fence etc. We understand the importance of privacy, and thus, you have the option to opt out of certain types of cookies.

At the same time, single-use alkaline batteries can leak and damage your electronics, and they don’t last nearly as long as rechargeables. We think most people will be set with a four-slot charger, and we preferred each eight- or 16-slot charger to be as compact and unobtrusive as possible. The four-slot Panasonic Eneloop BQ-CC55 is simple to use: You pop in the batteries—any brand of AA or AAA NiMH batteries will do—and then you flip open the AC plug, stick the charger in your wall outlet, and wait for the status lights to indicate that each battery is fully charged.The AA Solar Charger is easy to install and is fitted with a flashing blue LED light to indicate charge. Look up municipal recycling facilities in your area that accept electronic waste using databases such as Earth911 or Greener Gadgets.

Its chargers are backed by a one-year warranty, the same length as the warranties for the rest of our picks. In our testing, the Panasonic took about one and a half hours to charge two AA batteries; this is on a par with the time it took all of our picks except the 8-slot Tenergy charger (which took two and a half hours to perform the same task).

This charger is an essential tool for both business and personal use, offering a blend of efficiency and reliability to keep your. Being winter time, purchased this for a car which only has little summer use and battery has tendency to go flat. In our testing, we found these units to have flimsy build quality and inelegant design in terms of both form and function. When it’s plugged into the bottom of an ordinary AC wall outlet, you should be able to use the top outlet with no problem—unless your other plug is especially chonky too. Sulphation is the number one cause of battery failure, something not covered under warranty as it is not a manufacturing defect.

Devices with built-in batteries can be more convenient to charge, and they are certainly more commonplace. Like the TN456, this charger has four size-adjustable battery slots, and it’s compatible with lithium- as well as nickel-based AA, AAA, AAAA, and C batteries.

It’s easy to use, has indicator lights over each battery slot, and has a good range of currents (225–1,800 mA) for efficient charging. Conveniently powered by a USB-C supply, the new Xtar VC8 charger accepts up to eight batteries for simultaneous charging, depending on battery type. We recommend 300 mA for AAAA, 500 mA for AAA, and 1,000 mA for AA and C batteries, since these rates will charge your batteries most efficiently. We have a huge range of OE quality parts sourced directly from their makers or authorised distributors. If you go through lots of batteries—for remote controls, toys, kitchen appliances, and more—it might be worth spending a little extra on the eight-slot Tenergy TN480U charger.
