POWERQWEST / POWERLINE AC/DC BATTERY CHARGER REVIEW BY JIM BAUDO |
|
| Charge batteries in house with AC included WALL CHARGER. IT PLUGS INTO THE CHARGING UNIT SO ITS COMPACT AND EASY TO DETACH AND CARRY WITH YOU! Charge batteries in YOUR CAR, RV, BOAT, OR WITH A SOLAR PANEL OR ANY WHERE 12 VOLT DC IS AVAILABLE. THE 12 VOLT DC CORD IS included AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE. |
|
I WANT TO GO OVER EVERY FEATURE OF THIS charger, I KNOW WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SHOW YOU WITH ALL IT'S FEATURES IT WILL BE YOUR CHARGER OF choice, AS IT IS MINE. due to its "smart" electronics and ULTRA FAST recharging ability. Best of all, batteries can be left in the charger until ready for use without the slightest danger of losing energy or being overcharged. It can charge up to 8 Ni MH batteries at one time, and is perfect for power hungry digital cameras. |

AS YOU SEE THE UNIT COMES WITH A USER MANUAL WITH TYPE LARGE ENOUGH TO READ, I GIVE THIS A 10 RATING. A SPARE BATTERY CASE WITH CHARGING CONTACTS, SO AS YOU USE THE BATTERIES, THEY ARE READY TO BE PLUGGED INTO THE CHARGING UNIT. I GIVE THIS A 10 RATING. NO CHANCE OF MIXING A CHARGED AND DISCHARGED BATTERY BY MISTAKE. DUAL POWER SUPPLY'S, 110 AND A 12 VOLT POWER CORD. I GIVE THIS A 10 RATING. 8 BATTERIES ARE SUPPLIED. I GIVE THIS A 10 RATING. LOOK AT THE LEDS, 2 ARE GLOWING RED, THIS INDICATES THEY ARE CHARGING AT A RAPID RATE. LOOK AT THE 2 DIMMED LEDS, THIS IS THE SLOW 1 SECOND FLASHING OF THE LEDS INDICATING THE BATTERIES ARE IN THE TRICKLE CHARGE OR MAINTENANCE MODE. THE CAMERAS FLASH IS SO FAST I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE ACTION AS THEY WERE OFF. RAPID FLASHING OF THE LEDS, 5 TIMES A SECOND INDICATES A BAD OR WRONG TYPE OR DAMAGED BATTERY. I GIVE THIS A 10 RATING. THE GREEN LED JUST ABOVE THE POWERLINE NAME ON THE CHARGER INDICATES THAT POWER IS ON. ANY BATTERIES IN THE LOWER UNIT WILL BE CHARGING IN A MAINTENANCE MODE. I GIVE THIS A 10 RATING. |
|||
 |
AAA AND AA BATTERIES MAY BE CHARGED IN PAIRS. AAA ADAPTERS ARE SUPPLIED |
 |
LOOK AT THE ADAPTERS.
THEY ALLOW CHARGING, |
 THE
CHARGING CONTACT CLIP SUPPLIES THE POWER TO THE BATTERY CASE FOR
CHARGING IN THE LOWER UNIT. THE AAA BATTERY ADAPTERS AND THE
DUAL CHARGING IS GREAT! I
GIVE THIS A 10 RATING. THE UNIT IS COMPLETE
WITH A DUST COVER. I
GIVE THIS A 10 RATING. ANY MANUFACTURES

| UPDATE JULY 27, 03: I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW HOW THE SPARE BATTERY CASE FULL OF CHARGED BATTERIES CAME IN HANDY AT A SPORTS OUTING. I HAD TAKEN ABOUT 6 SNAPSHOTS AND MY CAMERA BATTERIES DIED. I HAD BEEN CARRYING THE POWERLINE SPARE BATTERY CASE IN MY FANNY PACK, WITHIN IN A 60 SECONDS I WAS BACK SNAPPING AWAY. THANKS POWERLINE FOR SUCH A GREAT LITTLE CARRYING PACK.
