Frequently Asked Questions
Does this charger work with alkaline batteries?
No, the charger is designed exclusively for NiMH rechargeable batteries. Attempting to charge alkaline batteries will trigger an error indicated by a fast-blinking LED.
How long does it take to fully charge the included batteries?
The four included AA 2000mAh batteries take approximately 7 hours to reach full capacity. If charging only two AA batteries, the process takes about 3.5 hours.
What do the LED indicators signify during use?
A slow blink means the battery is currently charging, while a solid white light indicates it is fully charged. A fast blink signals an error, such as a defective or incompatible battery type.
Can these batteries hold their charge when not in use?
Yes, the low self-discharge design allows the batteries to maintain 80% of their capacity for up to 12 months without needing a recharge.

Each bar is one sync, oldest on the left. Bars show direction only, never amount, and all are the same height for that reason: we record whether a price changed, not what it was. A move under 1% counts as held. We do not keep price history, by design. See our pricing data for the method.
