When buying and using rechargeable batteries, you should also purchase a charger for them, which will significantly extend the life of the batteries. At the same time, the choice of a charger largely depends on individual needs.
Instructions
Step 1
When buying rechargeable batteries, check with sales consultants for information about which type of charger is compatible with your batteries, or find information about this on the Internet.
Step 2
Decide on battery charging time. If you need fast charging every time, it is better to buy chargers specially designed for this, which can restore the batteries in just 10-20 minutes. However, the service life of such devices is short - they wear out rather quickly and stop working. It is best to choose a model that will charge a full set of batteries in just a few hours.
Step 3
If there are several types of rechargeable batteries in use, for example, "little fingers" and "finger" ones, you should opt for combined chargers.
Step 4
For those who like to travel by car, there is a charger that works from the cigarette lighter in the car. With it, it is very easy to give new life to dead batteries from a camera or player.
Step 5
In the case when it is often necessary to recharge not fully exhausted batteries, it is better to purchase a device with the function of fully discharging the battery before recharging it. In this case, the discharge process lasts only a few minutes, and you can follow it on the liquid crystal screen, which is equipped with such a device. This function extends the battery life. This charging model is suitable for owners of energy-intensive cameras.
Step 6
The price of chargers largely depends on the charging speed and additional functions, for example, liquid crystal indicators, automatic shutdown, and others.
Step 7
Try to buy chargers for rechargeable batteries only in specialized stores that provide a warranty for the product being sold.
