AA and AAA NiMH BATTERY CHARGERS - What’s the difference?
Posted in: Battery Chargers
Recently I was talking to a friend who knows my interest in rechargeable power. He asked me, ‘What is the difference between the traditionally named Energizer CHDCWB-4 Travel NiMH AA and AAA Battery Charger, and the less known Maha Energy MH-C204W Traveling Intelligent NiMH AA and AAA Charger?’ Good question.
In America we are taught from early age to recognize brand names. Energizer and Duracell are names I grew up with. Without saying anything bad about the products these companies manufacture, I will tell you the advantages of the Maha MH-C204W AA and AAA Battery Charger over most mainstream battery chargers.
Both Energizer and Maha Energy have spent years in research and development of batteries. These two companies are among a group of top companies who have had a large hand in pioneering the modern battery technology we enjoy today.
Both battery chargers mentioned do what they claim. There are features offered by the Maha MH-C204W that are not found in the Energizer CHDCWB-4 NiMH Charger. Maha builds their chargers with special abilities that have to do with the maintenance of the Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries they charge. The Maha MH-C204W NiMH Charger does not just charge batteries.
The MH-C204W Charger also has the ability to recondition the batteries whenever they need it. A cycle is the complete charge and discharge of a battery. We recommended reconditioning the Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries every 10 cycles. Reconditioning them insures their best performance. Although it is true that NiMH batteries do not have a ‘memory effect’, it is good to recondition them in order to maintain their overall condition, not just to maintain the capacity of each battery, but to help sustain a long life which will give literally hundreds of charges.
The Maha MH-C204W Charger will also be able to charge future batteries that will come out with higher capacities. You can find more details here: MH-C204W NiMH Battery Charger
You will not find these chargers at Walgreens, K-Mart or Walmart. These are not as expendable as some of the chargers seen at the convenience stores. They are meant to last. We do have them here.
POWER YOUR ROAD!
