Digital camera Review: 15 minutes is what I need!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this charger. I have my batteries ready in 15 minutes, and safe to be handled without burning thanks to the internal fan. It was a great buy!
Digital camera Review: 1st generation charger rules ... this one sucks! MY REVIEW AS A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER

Quick hint! Put some colored electrical tape around your battery so your family and friends will ask "Why is there tape on this battery?" before they throw it away!
I am a high volume studio and wedding photographer. The greatest AA battery in the world is the new Energizer Rechargables. They are amazing ... I can shoot 2 weddings, large Nikon SB-80DX flash, 600 photos and finally change the batteries. I own about 36 of these batteries and they are in every AA device I own. I highly recommend them to all of my family, friends and anyone looking at batteries in a store.
Now about the charger. I have 2 of this type and 2 of the original (non fan cooled) type. I can never and I repeat NEVER trust the fan cooled chargers. Everytime I put a full set of batteries in them and I come back to get them ... the red LED is flashing and my batteries are not charged. I have to put them in one at a time and wait for the red LED to stay solid and sort out the batteries by flashing LED and non flashing LED.
The flashing LED designated batteries go in my non fan cooled Energizer battery charger and charge with no problem at all.
I realize that heat is a battery killer, but for me, I would rather get 100 charges knowing that if I left the charger working, I could come back and the batteries would be ready. Time is not my on my side when it comes to shooting location events so a charger I cannot trust sits around unused. But if you can't find the older style and you have the choice between the slow overnight style charger or this one ... hmmmm ... let me really think about that ... I'd take the slow charger if I were not so desperate for time. On the plus side of the slow charger ... the batteries normally last longer!
Anyone out there want to get rid of the non fan cooled charger to trade for the newer one ... email me PLEASE!
My hats off to Energizer for making what I feel is the BEST AA BATTERY in the WORLD! Now ... just fix the charger PLEEAAASE !
Digital camera Review: 2 out of 2 broke immediately

My first one began malfunctioning on vacation, blinking red and not recharging. I bought a second one. The second time I went to use it, the same thing happened - it just blinks red regardless of the batteries used or whether it's plugged into the wall or the car lighter.Digital camera Review: Avoid! - Battery Killer!

I have to strongly agree - Even if it seems to work well at first, you'll eventually find that the Energizer 15-Minute Battery Charger either destroys or severly limits the usable recharge-life of your NimH batteries.Digital camera Review: Awesome Product

I have been using this for about an year now, and i must say that i am totally impressed with this product. I have been very happy with the way it fully recharges 4 AA 2500 mAh NiMH batteries in little less than 16 minutes. It takes around 12 minutes to completely recharge 4 AAA 900mAh NiMH batteries. Really handy if you use cameras or walkman or Mp3 players or any AA/AAA battery operated devices for that matter. The fan makes hell of a noise when charging (A Computer fan has been fitted to cool the charger), but i think anyone can tollerate this for 10 to 15 minutes, once the charging is done the light turns from red to green and the fan slows down.
It is recommended that you leave the batteries in the charging unit for 5 minutes after disconnecting the charger from the AC outlet, but personally i have not noticed any considerable increase in battery life when done so.
