Ansmann Individual Cell Battery Charger Powerline 4 Light for NiMH Rechargeable Batteries AAA & AA with USB Port for Smartphone etc. - 4 Bay Universal recharger for Double A, Triple A Batteries

This charger is very similar to the Powerline. Its form factor is great, as it is small in size. It has fewer features but in return you pay less for this charger. As is the case with every Ansmann product that I have purchased and used, it works very well. I appreciate the fact that you can monitor each cell individually. This charger can also be used with a 12 volt automobile lighter/power port to allow charging on the go. It even has a USB port. All in all, this charger cannot be beat for the price!This seller also provides excellent service. I have heard of other people purchasing Ansmann products from other suppliers. In the rare event that there is a problem, the other sellers have not always been cooperative. I have been purchasing from this organization for years and experienced a couple bad cells, out of the box. They were exchanged with no questions asked.

I have used two Ansmann POWERline4's for over 15 years. They were able to "resurrect" batteries that my LaCross BC500 would call "defective" for years, and I've gotten over 5 years of great use from such "defective batteries with hard use of them!I accidentally broke one of the POWERline4's and needed a replacement. This Powerline 4 Light is ideal. It's lighter weight than the POWERLINE and has a several foot cord, as well as showing how each battery is being charged. That's a great improvement over the old charger, and the new charger is perhaps 1/2 the price that the old one originally was.I just fully charged 3 batteries that the La Cross 500 rejected, and they work fine in my flash. I'd buy another dozen of the Powerline 4 Lights if I needed any more chargers!

I chose this over all other options. I am happy with it as I can charge individual cells and can monitor the charge progress

The Ansmann PL 4 Light is a great product to introduce new customers to Ansmann. It has the same charging power as the Ansmann Powerline 4 Pro, but without all of the bells and whistles and offered at a price that is about $10 lower. You won’t get the power adapter for your car’s cigarette lighter, or the 3 functions buttons. You still get a handy USB charging port for your portable devices (disabled while batteries are charging). The end result is the same…your batteries will be conditioned and charged in identical fashion to what the Powerline 4 Pro does. It did a great job when I used it for the first time and the batteries are performing like champs!

This is a great charger with the power and quality of the ANSMANN brand at an entry-level price. Basic features include individual charging and monitoring of 1-4 AA or AAA cells as well as a USB port for charging cell phones or other devices. The LCD display is easy to read and shows % charged and voltage of each cell. There are no complicated buttons or menus, just insert your batteries and let it do it's thing. This is a great charger if you're just getting started with quality rechargeable batteries or if you need a small portable charger or backup charger to compliment one of Ansmann's larger charging systems.

This charger is great! I've been an Ansmann rechargeable customer for a while, and this is a great addition to their line of chargers. The display is great, instead of just having lights, its great to be able to see the level of charge in each battery. We have a couple of the larger chargers in our church, but this Powerline 4 is a great way to not only start using Ansmann chargers, but to have them around your home or office, and it's small and portable too! Definitely MUCH better than any regular battery charger you'd pick up at a store, definitely recommend getting it, or a few!

It works but it drains and recharges the batteries every time no matter how charged they are to begin with it brings them to zero and starts over.

Ansmann is the best. That's just an industry fact. The only reason I'd didn't give this a 5 star review is that the USB "charging" port is only rated for 1A. That's incredibly slow. Almost all USB chargers are rated for at least 2.1A, if not 2.4A. So it'll charge your device faster than a laptop USB port (0.5A), but it's still going to take a long time.
