I find this one works great. It wont charge 9V or D. Beware of knock offs without verification number.

I agree, plus it has tons of lithium batteries in it !

But doesn't recharge alkaline as the OP wanted !
This thread has shown an abysmal level of battery knowledge held by some UHH's (including that there is no charger which will charge normal domestic alkalines as purchased at your local supermarket for example).

Thanks D-5008! Their products look good. I'll research more on their site.

I've been using a Vanson Speedy Box for several years (10+) and am quite happy with it. They no longer offer the Speedy box but this unit is the new replacement http://www.vanson.com.hk/product/v-9688/

Your reading is totally wrong!!! - with no fact or even inference to back it up. I just prefer Ni-MH - because the charge lasts longer and Alkaline are way overpriced. Also, I have recharged Alkaline batteries I brought when I moved here, and they are approaching the end of their lifetime (corrosion setting in). Of course, one must be careful about purchasing (anything, at least in this country) to be certain that the item is not a vastly inferior quality knock-off.

My reading isn't wrong. If I am guilty of anything it was assuming something because you gave too little information. But that is a fact - you gave too little information.
Alkalines aren't over priced. But once again you have given too little information.
You refer to alkalines but there are TWO types. One is not rechargeable and the other is and unfortunately a lot of people here are not commenting on which one they are referring to (I said a lot not everyone note).
The normal alkalines are sold everywhere by the billions. They are NOT rechargeable and never have been. The other type is referred to as Rechargeable Alkalines or Rechargeable Alkaline Manganese (RAM). They ARE NOT common because they cost quite a bit more than normal alkalines. Any reference to alkalines, if you want to use rechargeable in part of the comment, must make sure that you are referring to the rechargeable type because a lot of people reading this thread have not been clear as to which are being referred to.
Even if all US citizens did know (which I very much doubt) that references to recharging alkalines would be understood as could only be referencing the rechargeable types please note that quite possibly the rest of the world may not. You will find that a whole lot of readers of UHH are not in the US. That there is the rest of a whole world full of people OUTSIDE the US.

Again, I hope you know what assume means. I never have used any other than the non-rechargeable Alkaline batteries. The batteries you characterize as "non-rechargeable" (and sold as such) CAN in fact be recharged if it is done utilizing a charger designed for that purpose, such as the one for which I supplied the model number and sources. That is the one I have been using quite successfully to charge the "non-rechargeable" batteries. Look it up on Lazada! (And I currently am living outside the US - and so is Lazada. A cursory glance through Google does not indicate a US source for the device I purchased.)

I do know what assume means. I make assumptions all the time, some are wrong, most are correct.
You are actually closer to me than the US.
Lazada is a selling website. No use when trying to find specs on a device. Somewhere on the device there will be a manufacturers name. What is that ? No name then it tells you they don't want you to know it in case you try and track them down.
There may be a reason why the device appears not to be available in the US. The whole Asian region is renowned for selling things that don't work or work well. The only things worth buying from Asia are those with a brand name and where you hope that US or European QC are being used.

If you had read my original post, you would have observed:

"Over a year ago I bought the Fujicell Smart Quick Charger, Model No. FUJI-505F, which has circuitry allowing it to charge AA/AAA Ni-MH/NiCad/Alkaline cells. I have used it many times quite successfully to charge and recharge AA and AAA Alkaline cells. I bought it through Lazada, but it also is available from Shopee."

Lazada sometimes includes specs - but you have to use your knowledge and common sense in order to ascertain the degree to which they can be trusted! I occasionally have found contradicting statements on the same page! Over the course of nearly four years living in the Philippines and ordering hundreds of items from Lazada (a sometimes frustrating situation), I never have been "burned" - but always am very careful, and do not order items which must be seen and felt to be certain they as desired - and/or the right size!

I didn't say that Lazada would rip you off. I said that if a manf does not put their name on a device it is because they don't want you to know who they are and that makes them suspicious - no matter who onsells the device.
My personal experience has also been generally good with overseas purchases but I have received a number of items that only marginally matched the published specs or pictures.
And a lot of the sellers should sharpen up whose products they sell. I no longer purchase from DealExtreme because of this.

Quote - "So while this xxxx xxxxx can indeed recharge alkaline batteries, it's clear that they are best suited for low-drain devices that only draw power from the batteries intermittently. So don't go charging a bunch of D cells for your hunting flashlight or your emergency survival kit. IMO, recharged alkalines are best suited for less important uses. However, this should still prove to be a money saver, all the same."

Looks like I might have been a little wrong re charging alkalines. The above quote was from a suitable charger (apologies if you recognise this as being your comment). But the provisos are unacceptable to me as I usually need to know just what power and charge state I have and the recharged batteries look decidedly sus to me so I will flag this money saving idea.
