Works in a crunch,
I picked up one of these Energizer Chargers in the middle of a business trip. I left my USB Cable for my Blackberry at home, and it was about to die mid-trip. I couldn’t find an actual plug-in charger, so I decided to try this. I plugged it in to my Blackberry, and it fully charged the device in less than 2 hours. I’m not sure of the exact time because I wasn’t watching, but when I checked on it after two hours, it was already charged. I didn’t remove the batteries from the pack, and when I went to recharge again a few days later with the same batteries in the charger, it worked just fine.
I certainly don’t plan on using this regularly, but I will definitely keep this in my suitcase going forward for those times that I forget to throw in the actual charger. AA batteries are much easier to find than chargers, so it’s a very handy device and small enough that it won’t take up any noticeable room in my bag.
I see some things in other reviews that I’d like to comment on. First of all, as for the comment about not fitting most phones, well, most phone chargers only fit one brand or model of phone. It’s important to know what kind of device the user is using before buying any charger.
I also see someone else had trouble changing the batteries. I haven’t had that problem at all. There are spots that need to be squeezed at the end of the charger, and then the end pulls off. It’s actually quite simple. I also did not have any problem with the batteries draining when left in the device.

|Not just for cell phones,
Most people by this for their cell phones. I bought it for my Garmin Edge GPS and it works great! The GPS uses a USB charging port so it was a direct fit and charge.
One reviewer mentioned it didn’t take rechargeable batteries. I put Energizer rechargeables in and they fit and worked fine. No modifications needed.
The changes I’d recommend: 1) do something about the short and easily loseable adapter cables, 2) change the location of the battery diagrams from inside the case to outside, they’re hard to read on the inside.
