12 Bay Battery Charger

My Palo 12 bay charger arrived today and after several hours of getting familiar with it I can honestly say that it’s the best battery charger that I’ve ever owned. First off each battery slot has its own indicator and shows the level of charge until it’s fully charged then it stops flashing and the battery icon is full. Most of my old chargers have 2 batteries on one charging circuit so if one cell is bad or weak the charger won’t tell you so. This one does. I read some reviews that mentioned how long it took to charge but remember that although this is not a super quick charger with 12 slots it has the capacity to charge many more batteries than my previous 4 slot quick charger. Besides when you cram a bunch of juice back into a rechargeable battery they get downright warm and with a quick charger they can be very hot. That in turn takes its toll on the batteries life span. Slower charge, cooler temps, longer lasting batteries. On another note the less battery slots you fill, the faster they will charge. At least that’s in my opinion. All n all a great buy for someone who uses lots of rechargeable in multiple devices. It also arrived way ahead of the anticipated time frame. Yay!

Good charger works really well , charged batteries to full charge put them in cellular camera only showing 70%

Great price and all the features I was looking for with a good battery charger. Work great. Has the refresh mode that discharges the batteries and then charges them. Fits up to 12 batteries at a time and will keep them charged.

In an emergency the normal 120 volt power will fail. This charger will work when connected to your car or a 12 volt solar / battery system. I use it to recharge AA and AAA NIMH batteries. I would buy it again !

un cargador muy bueno

We have battery operated candles and I wanted to switch to rechargeable batteries. I had tried a cheaper charger and it was very unreliable. After more research I went with this one as it has more features and indicators about individual battery charging progress. The only bummer was that it arrived somewhat loose in a brown box and it had some surface scratches. It seems to work fine, but the vibe was “used” and I had purchased new. It’s not a big deal, but packaging kind of sets a tone. Shrug.

Charger is well built and display is clear. Takes approximately 6 hours to charge 9 AA batteries.

The charger lcd screed briefly lights up and then promptly shuts off. At first I thought this might be normal. However, I had to replace the batteries in one of my wireless cameras this morning. So I grabbed a couple of the batteries out of the charger. Placed them in the camera and they were dead. I tried another set and they were dead as well. I pressed the refresh button on the charger and the screen lit up briefly showing that all the slots were filled (they were not) and all the batteries were fully charged. I unplugged the charger and plugged it back up and the screen came on again but blank this time and then promptly shut down. I am very disappointed with this purchase and now I am back to shopping for another charger.
