I was looking for a direct plug in charger for my many rechargeable batteries after my Energizer multi purpose charger had a problem with a spring loaded clip snapping. This meant that the overall efficiency was drastically lowered, as paired batteries would stop charging due to poor or no contact. It also made me realise that I didn’t want or need a costly replacement. The LLOYTRON ticks all the boxes for my needs. No moving parts – check. No cables trailing – check. No complicated or unnecessary indicators – check. It simply plugs into a handy plug point, pop your batteries in and switch it on. It’s what I call a fire-and-forget piece of kit – simply put the batteries in and leave it to do it’s thing – it takes AA, AAA and PP3s- although I only use it for AAs, and AAAs to keep my kids Kidizoom Duos and Handheld Game Consoles on the go. It’s on pretty much 24/7 as I am working to a strict timetable keeping my kids 8 sets of batteries going day in day out. In terms of construction the LLOYTRON is a very light plastic but it doesn’t get hot in any way that would cause me concern. What might put people off is that it mentions charging times and battery outputs. I would say not to worry too much about that, as it has numerous protection circuits to prevent battery damage. If your technically competent you can of course work out charging times, but I’ve not felt the need. There are 2 red indicators, one for each pair of AAs, AAAs or individual PP3s on charge. These lights go out when charging is complete though. I would follow the advice on the packaging and not leave batteries in for excessive amounts of time. For me that means each set of batteries is swapped out the charger every morning, or evening if they’ve been put in earlier in the day. I was fortunate to only pay £7.35 including delivery which is an absolute bargain. As I write this the price has changed slightly and is still only £8.35 including delivery. Still a great price. If you want a no fuss, no frills, easy to use charger for your rechargeable batteries then the LLOYTRON comes highly recommended. Why pay more? 5*UPDATE: 1st June 2020 – I’ve been doing so much battery charging in recent weeks that I’ve decided it would be beneficial to buy a 2nd LLOYTRON charger. This was only £7.19 delivered so represents great convenience and value for money. These 2 chargers will easily allow me to keep on top of the multiple charging needs for my son and daughter – remote control cars, handheld games consoles, kidizoom duos as well as my HTPC remotes, keyboards and wireless mice. That makes life a lot easier!Update: 28th June 2020- I’ve uploaded a photo of my 2 chargers, working in situ – to illustrate how handy I’ve found them to be.

This is an unusual device in that it is capable of charging two sizes of batteries without the need to make any changes to it. A clever design that works well and so far does the job it was bought for. Its neat and seems to be well constructed. It does take quite a while to charge four batteries together. I was aware of this before purchase as another reviewer had made a mention of it. It is a smart device that switches off when the charge is complete. I would advise that it is kept away from material that may suffer from heat. It does get quite warm whilst charging batteries, not too hot to handle (I would guess at around 40 degrees C). I own several other chargers used for other special devices, they get warm but not as hot as this one. I always take care with electrical devices that get hot during use as in my opinion they present a fire risk. Hence the reason I have not given it 5 stars.

It is hard to find a good alkaline battery charger so this is good value and works quite well. However it does not seem able to stop leaks from some older batteries. Mine leaked and now I have no display but I liked the device enough to get a second one as a replacement.

Bought this to charge 9v PP3 batteries, returned the item for the following reasons:it lights up red when a battery is inserted, but in the instructions it tells you the LED does not turn green to indicate the battery has charged, you have to divide the batteries Mah by 20ah to give a charge time for one 9v PP3 battery of 30 hours! for one battery thats a long time. Also the return postage is deducted from your refund at a cost today when returned of £2.73p, this wasnt clear when I made the purchase.

Carica batterie 4xAA/AAA Alkaline carica veloce.
Non è perfetto questo caricabatterie, ma molto utile. In questo modo evito di buttare batterie che posso ricaricare.

bon produit
bon produit made in royaume uni il charge bien les piles alcaline jusqu’a 10 fois. Mais il ne faut pas charger les piles alcalines made in china car elles coule et deteriore l’appareil. Ils faut donc charger des piles alcalines de marque car elles sont moins sensible a la corrosion et au coullage des piles mais egalement pas charger les piles zinc carbon et les heavy duty et les piles rechargeables nimh, la prise electrique a l’air de bonne qualite .

Kein EU-Stecker
Bis heute leider nicht getestet. Kaum auf ersten Blick ersichtlich, dass Gerät in keine EU-Steckdose passt.

Fast for recharging batteries it’s portable and efficient

ideal, with 3 different sizes too charge.

Not too big and does the job. The only criticism I have is, it does take longer than some other charges I’ve used but, if you don’t need batteries quickly charging then it’s perfectly adequate at a reasonable price.
