I bought this battery charger over 2 years ago now. It was around Christmas time, I had a new digital camera and couldn't resist the convenience on having batteries that would be charged in only 15 minutes. I also loved how it came with and charged both AA and AAA batteries
We brought the charger home, first thing I noticed was the batteries were pre-charged. I love being able to buy more batteries for my charger and using them as soon as I open the package. I took the batteries from the package and put them right into my camera. They lasted a good 4-5 hours of my camera being on, or about 500 pictures.
Once it came time to charge my batteries I plugged in the charger, and put the batteries in place. The charger light came on and so did this very loud sound of the powerful fan in the charger. The batteries charge so quickly that they become very hot, so Duracell places this powerful fan inside to charger to cool down the batteries as they are charging.
The batteries take 15 minutes to charge, cool off and be ready for use. However the battery charger keeps the fan going for an additional 10 minutes cooling down the charger itself. The noise is loud and can become annoying. However this can be solved by plugging in the charger in a different room.
I have bought so many batteries and currently use them for everything in my home. They are great for remotes, and video game controllers, they charge faster then the nintendo wii charging station. Great for kids toys that use lots of batteries,digital cameras and so much more.
I would give the Duracell 15 minute charger and batteries a rating of 9 out of 10. The only downfall is the noise that is made while your batteries are charging and well the charger is cooling off. In my opinion the noise is well worth the long life, and quick charge of the Duracell charger.
