Essential Info

The cost and environmental benefits of rechargeable batteries have been taken a step further with the Solar Powered Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Charger. Until now, charging batteries has required you to plug in a charger, using electricity. This charger harnesses the power of sunlight and converts it into energy that will reenergize Ni-MH and Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries, completely eliminating the use of electricity, making this a truly environmental product. It will facilitate 11 different pairs of batteries;standard cylinder shaped batteries AA, AAA, C and D sizes as well as non-standard gum shaped prismatic batteries. The weather resistant housing allows you to put this outside and an adjustable angle stand let's you get the best possible position to face the sun. Once the charger is in position, simply check on the charge meter to see how much time there is remaining for a full charge. Now you can run any battery powered device to your hearts content and let the sun power up your rechargeable batteries for free when they are drained.

Important Note: Re-charging time will vary depending upon the strength of the sunlight or the level to which the batteries have been discharged.

    Charging
    The charger is designed to charge two pieces of the same size and same brand battery only as mixing batteries will cause different resistance adversely affecting the output of the charger.

    Ni-MH and Ni-Cd Rechargeable Batteries
    The Solar Powered Battery Charger is designed to recharge both Ni-MH batteries and Ni-Cd batteries. While each battery type supplies virtually the same voltage, Ni-MH batteries will greatly out-perform standard Ni-Cd batteries in high-drain application as the Ni-MH battery usually has about twice to three times the energy storage capacity of the Ni-Cd battery. A Ni-MH battery can be recharged at anytime without affecting battery life while the Ni-Cd must be fully discharged before recharging. Additionally, the Ni-Cd battery contains Cadmium which is hazardous to the environment.
