AA Battery
Charger
An AA
battery charger is a gadget that is used to recharge NiCD or
NiMH batteries. AA refers to the size or type of battery.
Compared to AAA battery, it is bigger and more commonly used.
There are many brands available in the market today like Sanyo,
Sony, Energizer, LaCrosse and Panasonic to name a
few.
If you
have gadgets such as digital camera, music player or even
household items like a wall clock or toys, having an AA battery
charger can save you on costs since AA alkaline batteries are
usually good for one or two uses only. The rechargeable types,
although more expensive, can last for many
uses.
An AA
battery charger usually comes with a free pair or two of
batteries. Most types can charge both AA and AAA. Travel
chargers are smaller in size and offer shorter charging time
which usually ranges from as fast as one hour to two. There are
chargers that can accommodate more than four batteries
simultaneously.
Sophisticated models of AA battery chargers
include a small LCD display that lets you monitor the charging
time, charging current, voltage, accumulated capacity and
discharge current. Each battery, despite being charged
simultaneously with another, can be assigned with different
charging rates so older and newer ones can be charged
accordingly.
