Can you charge 3 batteries, or a single battery or do they have to be charged in pairs? (i.e. either 2 or 4)

From the operating instructions: The i4 features four charging slots, with each slot able to charge batteries independently. Rechargeable batteries of differing chemistries and and voltages may be charged simultaneously using 1,2,3 or 4 of the charging slots. ( Only charges 3.7v LI-ion or 1.2v Ni-Mh/Ni-Cd rechargeables.)

the instructions state the batteries should be charged in pairs vs alone, as closely matched as possible in type/size, and if only 2 batteries are being charged then in slots 1 and 3 or 2 and 4.

As far as I know every channel is independent so you should be able to charge any number (I.e 1, 3, ect) I usually charged 3 or 4 at once and for the time it worked, it was excellent. Only one channel seems to have failed on mine, however I would not use it again just to be safe. If it happened to one, it will more than likely happen to the others.

The equipment I use the batteries in uses 3 batteries so I only charge 3 and it works fine. I have not tried it but if it lights up at the top of the battery with only one then it is charging the one. The light will move from bottom to top when it is charging.

Could not find any information stating to charge in pairs only. My charger has room for 8 batteries but I only charge 6 at once with no issues. The charger does get warm but it never had any issues.

it's best to work in pairs. ie if you have 4 batteries, put 2 on one side, and 2 on the other. This allows faster charging as there's a fixed amount of current available on each side, so balancing the load when you have less than a full load will charge faster. Batteries are in correctly when charging icon blinks, complete when all bars steady. That's about it, unless you want all the legal don't do stuff (dont stand in water and operate device, and so on)

To have them recharged, you must insert batteries in pairs and use all 4 positions. Try it and let me know if it works, there is too much time I don't use mine, so that I am not sure about it, but I remember I have had the same doubt.

No Joan, it can only charge 4 or 2 batteries at a time. I tried three and the "green light" never flash to indicate that it was charging; plus there is no 3 battery selection at the top - just 2 and 4 batteries. But this is an awesome product, great price and you get a car charger for those long trips for your kids hand-held games; keeps them happy and preoccupied while you drive. It also charges other rechargeable battery brands (Energizer and Duracel)

The charger is able to charge 4 AA, AAA, C, or D batteries plus 2 9-volt batteries at a time. It can only handle 4 of each of the aforementioned batteries at a time however. Hope that makes sense.

If your devices supports charging via USB port then sure you can charge all four at the same time.Charging time would be uneven though because current rating is different for two ports.

Yes, you can charge multiple size batteries at the same time. Think of this charger as 4 individual chargers in one.

You can charge one or two controllers at the same. Doesn't take too long to fully charge one or two controllers

It will charge 4 x AAA at once. OR 4 x AA at once. OR 2 x AAA AND 2 x AA at once.

Depends on how much you're load is. Two battery s will stay charged no problem if you are not loading and charging at same time. However, once batterys are discharge it will take a half day or so to recharge. If you want a consistent load you will need to get an extra panel or two to do both at same time I have been happy with the bundle so far. I can run a 60 tv or floresant light for 6hr or so off of 1 reg bat.

Joe: There are four sockets; each charges independently. It's recommended that you not leave charged batteries in the charger, but my guess is that's an "err on the side of safety" statement. The charger is clearly designed to cease charging when each battery is "topped off". This charger is one of the few things I've ever purchased that, after more than a year, I can say works exactly as I would have hoped it would.

Yes it will charge all 4 at the same time. You can charge 4 different battery capacity or ever 4happened different types at the same time. You are limited to 6 amps per channel so with larger capacity packs 2c is not a option. Also be aware that a power supply is needed to use this charger. I converted a PC power supply that works perfect.

If you have a charger that is designed to charge two batteries at a time, then you can charge any two of these batteries. Most chargers will charge at least a minimum of two batteries.

Just put them in the charger, side by side. Batteries must be charged in pairs, either two or four at a time, and they must be of the same type. If they are not charging, one of them may be bad. Try switching one of them to find and get rid of the bad one.

You can carge up to 8 at a time and they all have the same charge. I haven't had any problems with the charger. It just depends on the batieries you get for it. You can charge aAA's and AA's. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

It depends on your "charger" not on the battery. The charger that I use allows me to charge one or up four batteries at a time.
