Just bought a Duracell battery charger yesterday for rechargeable AA and
AAA batteries. (model no CEF24UK)
The first disappointment was that it only charges *two* AA or two AAA at
a time. (usually chargers of this size charge four batteries at a time)..
When I got home it specifically says in the instructions only to charge
Ni-mh batteries, and not any others.
So I rang the free phone number and said I've got a lot of the older
Ni-Cd batteries (like you have...right?) and would it do any damage to
the batteries or the charger to charge them?
Could I get a straight answer, could I hell.
I was very persistant, but she would not answer in a straight way. When
I asked if I could be transferred to a technical department, she said,
"we have 'all' the information".
All you staring blankly out of the window, waiting for something to
happen...
It's a free phone number...... 0800716434
The question I kept repeating was, will any damage be done to either the
charger or to the older ni-cd batteries, if charged up in this charger?
If you can get a straight answer from this women you're a better man
than I.
NiCad and NmMh have different charge needs. Any idiot with a grain of
common sense knows this.
Any idiot with a grain of common sense (seems to rule you out) also
knows an intelligent charger can cope with both types.
