Okay, let’s talk about this beast of a charger. First off, 16 SLOTS. SIXTEEN. As someone who’s constantly hunting for charged AAs like they’re Easter eggs, this is a game-changer.

The LCD screens are *chef’s kiss*—no more guessing if batteries are done. It straight-up tells you which ones are charging, discharging, or being dramatic (ERR means ‘I give up on this one’).

Pro tip: The ‘Refresh’ feature resurrected some zombie batteries I’d written off. Though heads up—if a battery’s *completely* dead, it might need CPR from another charger first.

Minor gripes? The manual might as well be hieroglyphics, and mine warped slightly after years of use (still works though!). Also, no USB ports—come on, Tenergy!

Verdict? If your house eats batteries like mine (gaming controllers, toys, that one smoke alarm that beeps at 3AM), this is worth every penny. Just keep a basic charger on standby for those ‘battery emergencies.’
