The Duracell CEF23 charges at 550mA per channel. The Rayovac PS3 charges at 450-480mA per channel. So they are not that different in term of speed. Both chargers can charge other brands of NiMH cells.The real advantage of PS3 is that it can accept C- and D- and 9V batteries. Also it can be used to 'revive' ordinary alkaline cells.

> Are you saying that it can be used to 'revive' ordinary NON RECHARGEABLE alkaline cells?Could we have a fire / small explosion / leakage hazzard here?

It should, but maybe very slowly. Duracell makes an outstanding AA/AAA charger (the model CEF23) for less money.

Yes, the Rayovac PS3 can be used to partially revive ordinary disposable alkaline cells. There is no danger of fire or explosion. as the charging current is relatively low (compared to charging NiMH cells), and the charger will terminate when battery terminal voltage is high enough. However, about 10% of the alkaline cells I recharged started to leak electrolyte a few days or weeks later. I was lucky that I did not ruin any expensive electronic gadgets. Bottom line: Do it at your own risk!

Duracell seems to have a new standard for their chargers. In retail stores, you can find the "Duracell 4000" and "Duracell 1000" chargers.

Yes it should as long as it came with Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH). Some much older chargers (before 2006) might only charge NiCd batteries and are not suited to charge Ni-MH batteries. I would consider investing in a good charger that reads the voltage in the battery and charges it based on that. The Energizer Charger charges your batteries based on a set time and not on what the battery actually might need. This reduces the life of the battery and can undercharge or overcharge the battery reguardless of its brand. If you are considering investing in the top eneloop batteries a good $30-40 charger would be a worth while investment. Michael Bluejay's Battery Guide online gives a lot of great information about both rechargeable batteries and chargers.

It depends on the individual type of charger. Definitely they should be all RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES. The best way to know is to follow the instruction manual, or see on the back of the charger itself, mostly it is mentioned. Depending on the type of charger, most of them can recharge AA or AAA batteries of NiMH type. AGAIN, PL. CHECK. PER THEIR INSTRUCTIONS, WRONG BATTERIES USED CAN EXPLODE!

Hi TerriW! Yes, this charger will work. I purchased it for my daughter. She lost the first one, I order another one from Amazon, mostly cause the price was right...it arrived brand new and in GREAT working condition....so TerriW buy it! :-)

Any universal charger works, especially since these don't need to be refreshed as they have no "memory." You might as well go with a cheap one or one you already have. I use two different ones, a RadioShack universal & an Energizer NiMH. Good luck.

personally I feel Duracell are a better and long lasting battery, I have only had the Duracell charger and batteries about a month now and after a full charge I haven't had to recharge the batteries yet although I only have them in my tv remotes and game controllers

I've ordered so many chargers and some worked, some worked for a while, and some never worked. I don't remember about this particular one. Sorry. Perhaps the seller can help you.

I have used several chargers and they have all worked with these batteries. You should not have to purchase a specific one.

JPH The charger works with all batteries. I have several different brands and all charge fine.

I had the Duracell PowerMat and it doesn't work with it or the Energizer one. I got the PowerBot (Link: PowerBot PB1020 Qi Enabled Wireless Charger with Micro USB Cable for Smartphones & Tablets - Black ) one, but any charger that says Qi will work.

Hello, I can only say that I use a charger that is made only for mAh style batteries. I have not used the Energizer batteries but I think the Tenergy batteries are great, they seem to hold a charge for a long time and recharge very fast, been using these batteries for about a year now and love them.

I have used it to charge Riobi lithium and Riobi nicad batteries with great success. I don't know about other brands. My old nicad charger failed really charge the old nicad - I had 2 of them - but the lithium charged both of them! Good luck.

It charges every off brand batteries I put in it.....It won't work at all with the Canon batteries.....I don't know why, they all look the same to me, so I'll use the Canon charger on the only 2 that I have. All others, I'll use the Dual Charger and buy the off brand batteries when I need replacements....Hope that helps you out.

Yes. I've had Duracell rechargeables for years and never had a defective one.

Another version of the product here: http://www.amazon.com/Duracell-Rechargeable-Instant-Power-Charger/dp/B006BAIQTK actually comes with a wall charger. So I guess you can.

A adapter is included that claims to work with Duracell units. I don't have a Duracell unit, so I cannot verify if it works properly.
