Panasonic BQ-CC55SBA Advanced eneloop Individual Rechargeable Battery 3 Hour Quick Charger with 4 LED Color Charge Indicator Lights

This Panasonic battery charger exceeded my expectations in both build quality and performance. It feels solid and well-constructed, with a compact design that’s perfect for travel or desk use.Charging is fast and efficient – it fully recharged my AA and AAA NiMH batteries in a few hours. What I really appreciate is the individual charging channels, so I can charge 1, 2, 3, or 4 batteries at a time without any issues. Each slot has its own indicator light, making it easy to monitor charging status.There’s also built-in safety protection to prevent overcharging or overheating, which gives me peace of mind during overnight charges. It runs quietly and doesn’t heat up much.If you use a lot of rechargeable batteries (for remotes, cameras, game controllers, etc.), this Panasonic charger is a smart investment – reliable, safe, and convenient.

The media could not be loaded. This charger become my go-to for keeping my devices powered up. This charger is well-built and extremely user-friendly. What I appreciate most is the individual charging slots. Each battery charges independently, so I can charge any combination of AA or AAA batteries without needing pairs.The 4 LED color indicators are a fantastic touch. They clearly show the charging status and indicate when a battery is fully charged, which gives a lot of peace of mind (red-yellow-green). It’s fast just about three hours for a full charge, so I’m not waiting around for long.This charger is compact and fits easily in my travel bag, making it convenient for trips too. With its high quality and reliability, this charger has been a game-charger (you see what I did here) for keeping my rechargeable batteries ready to go. Highly recommended for anyone needing a quick, efficient and straightforward battery charger. Great vale for money spend!

I'm a pretty recent convert to rechargeable batteries having bought an Energizer Pro Charger set 11 months ago. While that charger (and the included batteries) has performed well and has been very reliable, it only charges in pairs so I decided to upgrade to a smart charger capable of charging cells individually.Some reviewers of the BQ-CC55 noted that the batteries get too hot or complained of noise coming from the charger while in use. Charging two Energizer 2000 mAh AA cells at a time, the batteries did get warm but not hot. It also charges those two AA cells in about an hour and-a-half which is quite a bit faster than the 3-4 hours it takes for the Energizer charger. After using the charger for the fourth time, I did notice very faint, sporadic, high-pitched beeps that I didn't notice the previous times I used it. Since then, I haven't heard any sound produced by the charger so it's a non-issue.The colored LED status indicators are well-designed and one of the best features of this charger in addition to the fast, smart charging. The lights begin at red (<20%), turn to yellow (20%-80%), then green (80%+). Charging is complete once the LED shuts off after turning green. One feature I like better in the Energizer charger are the audible tones generated when the charging process starts and when it finishes. It's helpful to have an audible alert when charging has finished in case the charger isn't within line-of-sight, but that's a small nit. The BQ-CC55 is a step up from the Energizer Pro Charger and the one I wish I had bought in the first place.UPDATE 02/2019: After a year and four months of using this charger a few times a month, it developed strange high-pitched electronic noises (the closest sound I can compare it to is electronic squeaking). I've read other reviews which described this issue and now I have it also. The noise fluctuates in volume and also changes tone so it isn't one consistent type of noise.It seems the charger still works just fine as the batteries were charged to full capacity. It's just that the noise is annoying and an unwanted development in a lightly-used product. Hopefully, it's a minor issue and one that won't affect the charger's performance in the long run because this a a really good product otherwise.UPDATE 07/2019: Ever since the one instance when the charger started emitting sound, the sound has vanished. Thankfully, it was a temporary issue. I've used it many times since then and it's been silent. After 2 years of use, this charger is still working very well.

nice charger

This is a nice fast charger that charges your AA and AAA NiMH batteries.It has a fold away plug that hides so they aren't always sticking out. It works with 100-220v AC and has a non polarized plug, so you can insert it into a wall outlet in any orientation you like. While the charger is pretty good at what it does, there is 1 minor issues with it that you should know about.AAA batteries do not go all the way in. This is normal, but the issue with this is that some people may try to force the batteries in, causing damage to the batteries or the charger. So be careful and don't push in those AAA's. Would buy again! Just wish this model came in Black.

I like cool techy things, this is one of them it's a solid little battery charger I like that each battery slot has its own LED so it will show the charge level of each battery separately, now there are 2 different designs of this and they look almost identical one just doesn't have the lit up LED color above the battery but that's half the reason I picked this one overall good product, no complaints would buy again

Works well. The best thing I like is that it stops charging when it's done. This is nice if I forget I'm charging something. It's not 'overcharging' the item and the unit isn't staying hot. Be aware if you plug it in to a power strip, the weight of the battery section can make the strip lean in that direction. Not a problem but just be aware of this.

Works really quickly. Took a battery from less than 20% to more than 80% in 7 minutes. Works great.
