This charger comes with 2 R6 and R3 Duracell 2. No information as to whether they are loaded or not, if used as such or whether to charge fully and properly before. I am a stickler for respect for 1st charge, I'm disappointed. My tester shows which are loaded. So I use them immediately. No luck, they are not loaded. My tester is not perfect either. He says if the 1.2 V are there, if not the ability to not only cost est.Ça still expensive to indicate this in the manual. The charger itself: it only allows charging only 2 batteries of the same size at a time, which limits employment. If you have a battery recharge or 3 (which is common in revivals or toys), battery management is complicated. To be used, the tray opens downwardly to receive piles. What makes a somewhat bulky object dangling from prise.Heureusement it folds for storage. Last: fast charge in 45 minutes. I know this is the trend, but I still say that for a long life of the batteries must be recharged more slowly. And unfortunately most loads communicate to the load speed to meet the people always more rushed. This one is no exception to the rule and is dommage.En same time when you buy a charger with a battery manufacturer, no wonder he seeks to sell the batteries. In conclusion, for the price, why not. But you know what you buy. I like to put a bit more and have a real charger electronically managing the charging and discharging. This product will be a payday for emergencies or traveling where its compact folded size is aprciable.
