This review mainly is about the false "packaging" by Amazon. I guess, if you know about the false photo and like the charger, it could get a higher rating. It would save the trouble of customers' having to return the product and the cost of Amazon's dealing with returned open packages (I couldn't be sure of the lack of the above two items without opening the package).
There is a customer image that shows the charger with both a cover and an AC adapter. How can the same exact picture be used to describe two different products. This may be a good charger but the deceptive representation of the product overshadowed everything else about it for me.
Amazon should correct the obvious problem created when someone either knowingly or unknowingly uploads a photo that misrepresents a product. The features that the product was misrepresented as possessing (through the photo) were exactly those that I was looking for. That is not a picture of this product.
In fact, the exact same picture is used to represent the Digipower DPS-5000 1 Hour AA/AAA Rechargeable Battery Kit.
My guess is the problems came from an earlier version of the product. My batteries are charging fine and there is no overheating. Looking over the reviews for this product makes one believe that two different products were reviewed, one that worked fine and another that was terrible. I am having none of the problems from the negative reviews.
Not worth the risk in my opinion. Bought these for an RC car, after about 4 days 2 of them started leaking, Through all 4 out.
I am a disappointed that it was misrepresented and not what I expected. The charger I recieved does not include a 120-volt AC cord as advertised in the Product Description. Instead it has a fold out power connector.
Come with car charger also. Wit all the battery hungry cameras this item is a must have. A lot less expensive in the long run than buying alkaline batteries every time you turn around.
