Another cool product added to our website recently. This is a very interesting and useful item. It is a battery charger that can adapt to different batteries and the contacts on those batteries. Basically in general, all a good battery charger does is connect to a battery and apply the correct amount of voltage to it, usually about 4 volts at 1 amp for an hour or so, then less voltage as the battery continues to charge fully. Chargers can tell how long a battery needs to charge by testing the voltage on the battery, as a battery charges up its voltage increases. After a few hours the battery is full and the unit stops charging.

Our mini universal battery charger can charge any battery within a voltage spec of 3.5V to 4.2V which covers many camera batteries, and most cell phone and PDA batteries. Batteries with more than 2500mAh may have a problem charging in this mini charger, and the positive and negative contacts must be no farther apart than 1 1/4″. You can view a video of how to use this univseral battery charger on youtube which is linked into our website advertisement here

This battery charger is extremely useful for devices where you want to charge a spare battery while your using the other battery in the device. Such as this example, say you have a cell phone or PDA that you use constantly and when it runs out of power, your stuck to plugging it into the wall. This is very inconvenient. So now if you have a spare battery and this charger, instead of being stuck to a wall cord until the battery recharges, you just have a battery constantly being charged in this mini universal charger, once your cell phone or PDA runs out of power, take out the battery and swap it with the battery that is on the charger and the dead battery will charge while your now using the fully charged battery. See how useful this can be to keep your device portable.

Check out the video and let us know if you have any questions or comments about it. We should be getting a bigger universal charger in the future that can do bigger batteries and charge batteries with higher voltages, the price is much more expensive but it will give those with like a 7.2V battery an option.
