A basic four-slot stand for AA and AAA NiMH cells that comes with two rechargeable AA batteries. The two charge times in the listing disagree, so plan on a slow overnight charge.

Overview
Energizer Recharge Basic is a compact stand charger that takes two or four rechargeable AA or AAA batteries. An LED indicator shows charging progress, and an auto shutoff feature helps prevent overcharging.
Starter batteries and a USB charging cable in the same box mean a household can start recharging remotes and toys right away. The listing gives two different charge times and no per-slot current, so expect an unhurried charger rather than a fast one.
Who it's for
Families and desk users who go through AA and AAA batteries steadily and can wait for a slow charge. The stand is compact for a shelf or drawer. Buyers of camera gear who need rapid or per-cell charging should look at a different charger.
Pros and cons
- Takes both AA and AAA rechargeable cells
- Two AA rechargeables included
- LED shows charging progress
- Auto shutoff helps prevent overcharging
- Charge time listed two different ways
- Only NiMH cells are named as compatible
- Slot count caps batch size
Performance notes
Charging time depends on cell capacity, since a basic charger feeds a fixed low current to each slot. The auto shutoff ends the cycle once the cells are full, and the LED shows when a slot is still working. Mixing old and new cells in one pair can leave one cell finishing later than the other.
