Summary: No picture of product can be a problem...
Review: A word to the wise: be careful of choosing from among many similar products without a definitive photograph to help you make sure you know what you're getting. I relied on the "product manual" in PDF format linked on the page, only to discover that the image therein (and likely the rest of the information it contained) didn't match what was being sold on this page! I received a completely different charger that had the capacity to charge only one 9-volt battery at a time, rather than the two I had seen in the manual. While I'm sure this is a decent charger (at half the cost compared to even the warehouse clubs), it isn't what I need. Bottom line: be careful when ordering without photographs!

Summary: Very Good Charger for Casual Use
Review: When I first received this charger, I was at a loss as it comes with no instructions. However, after a brief trip to the energizer website, I found what I needed. This charger is an 8 hour charger. This means it's best for those who have lots of NiMH batteries and sequentially charge, or those who use digital cameras or other high-drain devices only casually. I'm one of the latter.

This charger can handle 4 AA or 4 AAA batteries and has an internal timer, so it shuts off when charging is complete. It's also light-weight and compacts to pocket-size for persons who need to minimize space use, or who need to use it while travelling. I travel quite a bit, taking photos with a Canon Powershot A80 (4x AA batteries) it's been with me on every trip

My only complaint is the time taken to charge, but as a casual user, that problem is solved by getting more NiMH batteries so you always have charged backups. In my opinion, a great buy.
