 Good Batteries, Bad Charger July 29, 2008

This package (CEF14X2) includes two new Duracell 'Pre Charged' NiMH AA cells, plus a simple charger. The batteries are similar to the Sanyo eneloop low-self-discharge cells. In fact, based on their identical technical specifications and physical shapes of (+) and (-) terminals, I am convinced that the Duracell Pre Charged AA is actually SANYO eneloop AA underneath a different wrapper. Therefore all the good things you heard about eneloop apply to Duracell 'Pre Charged', too.
The 'value charger' (CEF14) included here, however, is not a good value because:
1. It is a timer-based dumb charger, meaning that it doesn't detect when cells are full charged. It simply charges at 360mA for 6 hours and turns off. You have to wait until your cells are fully exhausted before recharging, otherwise they will be over-charged. With a 'smart' charger, you may choose to top-off your rechargeable cells any time.
2. It can only charge either 2 or 4 AA cells in pairs. This is very inconvenient if you have appliances that require odd number of cells.
3. It can only charge two AAA cells, and you cannot charge any more AA cells at the same time.
My advise is to get the CEF23DX2 package for just a few dollars more. It also comes with two Duracell Pre Charged AA cells, but the included smart charger (CEF23) is far superior in every aspect. It even doubles as an USB charger, too.
 Works as advertised. June 28, 2008

I've only used the charger a couple of times and it seems to work ok. I've recharged the batteries several times so far (using a different charger) and they seem to work well, too. Life-per-charge isn't incredible, but I've got a few sets of AA rechargeable batteries that I cycle through my particular application so it isn't that big of a deal.

I use the Guitar Hero III wireless guitar they are in a few times a week for 2 to 4 hours on those days and I have only needed to recharge them once in the last month or so.
