Energizer 15 Minute NiMH Battery Recharger Worth Every Penny



The Energizer Recharge Rapid Charger is a bit more expensive than the other rechargeable battery chargers; but, it is worth every penny. Most of the lower cost chargers you can buy with rechargeable batteries take 8 hours to charge your batteries.

Let's face it, when you use rechargeable batteries, it can sometimes be tricky to know which ones you've used, and which ones are charged. Having to wait 8 hours to ensure a full charge makes NiMH rechargeables inconvenient. If, on the other hand, it only takes 15 to 30 minutes to charge, you don't even need spares at the ready. Most activities can wait a few minutes while you recharge.

 I got my Energizer Recharge Rapid Charger at Wal-Mart for about $30. I've been using it for a Kodak camera that uses four AA batteries. In a good day, it will eat up a set of regular batteries. On average photo days, disposable batteries will last two or three days.

It was obvious that having to buy batteries for the camera, besides being costly over the long-run, could be inconvenient. Imagine being in the middle of something, and having to stop to make a trip to the store because you've run out of batteries.

While the cost savings alone makes rechargeable batteries worthwhile, having a rapid charger allows you to overcome those times when you forgot to recharge the spares. The recovery time gives you flexibility.

Unfortunately, the charger only works for AA and AAA batteries; but, in most households, this is sufficient to power cameras, remote controls, and other electronic devices. It seems that the electronics industry is less keen on C, D, and 9V batteries these days.

When you purchase your Energizer rapid charger, it comes with a regular household electric plug for charging at home or work, and with a lighter plug for charging in your vehicle. This added flexibility is yet another benefit that makes rechargeable batteries a more resilient resource than disposables.

Before Getting Out of the Gate

Tonight, I was working on a new blog project. Google and Blogger have been good platforms for me in the past. I was able to get the domain pointed and was working on the layout and template. Suddenly, the website was blocked. I had searched for ways to publish that were not subject to censorhsip. I wound up on the Hive blockchain. It's great for censorship resistance, but it's not without its problems. In any case, I was thinking that maybe I was being too paranoid. Now, before getting out of the gate, I have a blog censored. I'm trying to think of what I could have posted, reposted, or even been associated with that could have caused the blog to be blocked. I can't think of anything. If this doesn't pan out after review, I may need to look for an alternative hosting option. I was already looking at Publii as an option. It only requieres simple FTP updates. I prefer not to use Wordpress as experience has taught me that you an customize a theme and add plugins ...

2024 NaPodPoMo Ep 5 - Let’s Be Real About CRO

In this episode of National Podcast Post Month, I'm taking a closer look at the recent announcements from Crypto.com and their potential impact on the price of CRO. While there's been a lot of excitement about the new developments, I'm not convinced that they will translate into a significant price increase. I'll be discussing the following topics: The recent AMA with Kris Marszalek The launch of the ZK EVM chain The popularity of the Crypto.com debit card The importance of market volatility The role of FOMO in driving up prices I'll also be sharing my thoughts on why I don't think the price of CRO will jump to a dollar anytime soon.
