What do you get when you combine effective charging with the most simple, small, and compact charger on the market? Probably something like the Energizer Compact Charger. As an online advocate for Energizer, I got to try out this no-frills little charger for my rechargeable batteries.
It fits in the palm of my hand when not in use, which makes it perfect to toss into my travel bag or flashlight drawer. When charging, it holds 2 or 4 AA or AAA batteries. Just pop them in, watch for the indicator light to show fully charged, and pop them out! There is no need for a separate cord for this charger -- just plug it into the wall and charge!
This dummy-proof charger gets most batteries charged in as little as 2 hours, and comes with some AA rechargeables to get your started. Another great feature is that it's Energy Star compliant! That's pretty green :)
