CH-V6988 IC-Controlled 10 Channels Ni-MH and Ni-Cd Smart Battery Charger

Reliable rechargeable batteries are a must for us. We have an animal sanctuary and being out at night is common. We have tried so many brands of rechargeables…never finding what we truly wanted. It is really rather critical to be out in the woods in the middle of the night tending to some animal and have your batteries go poof. It is even more important in the summer so you can see where you are walking as the snakes seem to like lying right in the walking path…go figure lol. I am a bit of a research nut and have to look at every angle when making a selection. It usually takes me days to decide. . I had read on one forum a discussion about Powerizer batteries. Most of the discussion was extremely favorable. I selected the Powerizer NiMH Rechargeable Cell: 12 PCS AAA 1.2V 1000mAh batteries and the NiMH Rechargeable Cell: 12 AA 2600 mAh NiMH Batteries + 3 Plastic battery cases. I thought the three cases gift was rather cool. Considering this brand is about half of what I would expect to pay for a decent rechargeable battery I was most interested. It was not a brand I was familiar with but some times you just have to take a chance. Batteryspace has a generous return policy. Three months on NiCd, NiMH, Li-Ion, Alkaline batteries, Laptop Batteries is certainly plenty of time to test battery quality. We have tested our batteries over 4 months and counting. I also wanted a new charger so ordered CH-V6988 IC-Controlled 10 Channels Ni-MH and Ni-Cd Smart Battery Charger. At 21.95 it was fair price for what we were wanting. Batterspace has a very generous warranty policy on chargers…one full year. Honesty with the flimsy quality of gadgets these days a one year warranty is a nice thing in my book. First you find what it is you are wanting then someone who can provide that. I always check reseller ratings to verify a business. Batteryspace.com had good ratings. It is important to me that when I order I actually get what I order and in a reasonable amount of time. Batteryspace.com had very good ratings.

About the only complaint I have is I wish the battery charger came with some kind of instructions. Mostly the paper work was in Chinese. We have been using these batteries and charger since the middle of August. We are very pleased with the amount of time they hold a charge. The only problem we ran into was recently the batteries did not hold a charge so I started pressing buttons and discovered the discharge feature. Honestly I could not tell if the discharge was automatic or not since there were not instructions that were readable to me anyway. Once the batteries were fully discharged they work like new. Later I did find the pdf on the site for instructions...thanks Batteryspace.

2600mahx10=26000 26000/1000=26 hours possibly to fully charge...having to remove batteries after 12hr is time consuming...wish the intelligent processor could restart itself without intervention by a human being. I went to this because the rechargeable battery packs current available for my ft530 suck..not the same quality as 10 yrs ago...so i'll insert these in an alkline pack..the voltage will be 12v instead of 15v but that will still be adequate to get 3+ watts out...
