Do you use rechargeable batteries? We do at our house! With a gadget-loving husband, a light-up-noise-making-toy loving toddler and a Mama who almost always has her camera on we go through a LOT of batteries!
The Shopping Mama is giving away one of the new Energize Recharge Smart Charger (and a $15 gift card to Target!) to one lucky winner!
Oh, I would SO love to win one of these. We have a charger, but I have to admit…it’s quite old. And we have batteries, but I have to admit…a lot of them are quite old.
Here are some of the fancy features of the new Energizer Recharge Smart Charger:
- Countdown timer shows how long until batteries are charged
- Battery Fuel Guage shows charge status
- Bad Battery Alert detects alerts and shuts off charging when a non-NiMH or old NiMH battery is inserted
- Large visual display can be viewed from across the room
- Charges batteries at a safe, steady rate which improves the long-term health of the NiMH battery
- Energy Star® certified
What stood out most to me and what I think would make my life much easier, is the Bad Battery Alert. I mentioned a lot of our batteries are quite old. It’s so frustrating to charge some batteries, pull them out of the charger and put them in the camera and have the camera immediately say “Insert New Batteries”. But I just did! Or at least I thought I did. Another bad set of batteries to go in the trash. But I’m always hesitant to throw them away because since the camera takes two batteries, are the both bad, or just one? You can’t tell good batteries from bad batteries by looking at them. So short of tossing every rechargeable battery we have and buying brand new ones (yikes!), how am I supposed to know which ones are good or not?
Well, if I WIN the Energizer Recharge Smart Charger, I WILL know!
