Tenergy T-1199B Universal Ni-MH & Ni-Cd Battery Charger With timer Control October 21, 2009 Robert L. Manasco (SC) Bought the Tenery T1199B Universal battery charger after reading the rating on this product. I was amazed at the size of the battery charger. It is big and heavy but it is easy to use. You can charge all the standard rechargable batteries with this product. It is not a quick charge unit so if that is what you want you need to look for some other product. Great product for the price.
Great Product - Fast Shipping! August 9, 2009 R. Carney (South Georgia - USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The product worked out of the box exactly as advertised. Also, I was pleasantly surprised to recieve my Tenergy battery charger so quickly! This indicates to me, that my order is valued and appreciated. I look forward to many years of service from this product.
Works, but is big and old tech. July 2, 2009 Smaug (Round Lake Beach, IL United States) 15 out of 17 found this review helpful
This is one of those things where if you want something cheap that works well, and don't mind the size or old technology, it is OK.
To qualify that, it is 9" long, 3" thick, and 4" wide. That is a MONSTER for the features this thing has.
It should also be noted that this charger works on a timer circuit. With the switch set to "NiCd" it charges for 5 hours, and with it set to NiMH it charges for 8 hours. The charging is at a set rate, so that means in a given time, it can only put out so many mAh. (it varies by cell size, using different contacts at the center point of different sizes of cells)
Here's a quick example: If you have a AA rechargeable, and you set this charger to "NiMM" it will charge at 250 mA for 8 hours. That is a total charge of 2000 mAh. The problem is that modern AA rechargeables are rated 2400-2650 mAh. So this charger will not give a full charge. A 2650 mAh AA will only end up 76% charged, if it is fully discharged. You can start another charge cycle, but if you don't remember to pull the batteries out part-way into it, you will be overcharging them.
As a simple charger, it works. But battery technology marches on. Capacities get higher. My recommendation is to invest in a peak detecting charger.
I use a Multiplex LN5014, with a battery holder from Radio Shack. Of course that is a $75 charger, and requires a separate power supply. But I'm sure there are other options available in an inexpensive charger.
Nicely Built & Bought For New Batteries June 5, 2009 Sheboy Franziska (Crofton, MD United States) 10 out of 11 found this review helpful
This tech-grrl has a sophisticated fast charger that charges VERY rapidly and is the best thing ever, but I needed a slower charger that charges batteries around 8 hours to initially charge new batteries or ones that've been sitting around disused for some months. The reason is that the batteries will last a lot longer that way. Once charged with this unit I can then use my fast smart charger regularly without burning life out of the batteries. I wouldn't use this charger as the primary one because it charges on a 8 hour or 4 hour timer instead of having a microprocessor that senses when the battery is topped off, so depending on the battery it could be overcharged or undercharged both of which means shorter life.
I've been a profession tech chick for over 20 years and know battery technologies inside out and advise clients about what's best for their applications.
Good value for the money April 19, 2009 Shelley Jeltema 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
This would have gotten a 5 star if it charged faster. 8 hours is a bit long, but what can I expect for the price. I wish you could charge more than 4 AA or AAA batteries at the same time.
But other than me wanting the world and being too cheap to pay for it, I am happy with this charger. I am considering buying another so I can charge more batteries at the same time. I can purchase two more of these and still save money over the cost of other charging units.
