Chances are that if you own a photographic device that runs on standard AA batteries such as a compact camera, DSLR or flashgun its going to be a fairly power-hungry beast. If you’re shooting with any kind of regularity, its more than likely that youre building both a costly and non-environmentally friendly pile of empty batteries maybe its time to go rechargeable?
Battery-behemoth Duracell boasts a comprehensive line-up of rechargeable battery options, and the NiMH value battery charger represents great value for money at just under £15. The unit charges both AA and AAA batteries, so theres no need to buy a separate unit, while it boasts a battery charging time of under six hours.
The batteries perform excellently, managing to easily outlast non-rechargeable competitors on test (when used with the Pentax K-m DSLR).
Pros:
AA + AAA compatibility
Cons:
Slightly bulky charger
Our Verdict:
Overall, the Value Charger and 1800mAh batteries is a great value package thatll not only save you money but also help you save the environment.
