Envie Speedster ECR-11 Battery Charger

I got this charger after my UNIROSS charger died after 4 years. I liked the old Uniross charger as it used to charge 4 AA cells in just 30 mins. It was a super fast charger. But I could not find that product any where so I bought the Envie charger as it says it will charge in 1.2 hours. I got this delivered in 4 days of my order. This charger is good though it takes around 2 hours to charge 4 AA batteries. I like the LCD display on this charger which shows which battery is charged how much and which one has completed charging. Plus, it has defective cell detecting capability and the best part is it has auto cut facility so that cells don't get overcharged. Including the good service of flipkart, overall, satisfied with my purchase.

The charging completes in less than 20 minutes for any type of battery making me wonder if this is really charging the batteries to their full capacity or not.

Have not tested extensively but from what I observed the batteries seem to run out of charge very quickly.

I use this to charge AA batteries for my Canon camera and they don't seem to last long.

Build quality doesn't look very good and the plastic quality is cheap.

Having a display is good but if it does not show the correct status then I believe it is good for nothing.

I cannot say I am totally unhappy with the product but I have some serious questions on its charging.

As for the only good thing is that it is a desktop charger and the cable can be removed from it. This makes carrying and storing the charger very convenient.

After a long search I bought this charger. I was looking for a quick charger with LCD display, and this has the lowest price tag. You can find many features than a standard charger. It would be good if this charger comes with REFRESH function. I think we need to pay little extra to have REFRESH function. Overall this charger is reasonably good but with poor build quality.

Pros:
LCD display
Can charge 1-4 batteries; AA/AAA; NiMH/NiCD
Quick Charging
Trickle charging
Intelligent cut-off
Bad cell detection

Cons:
Poor build quality.

It would be better if this comes with
* REFRESH function
* Short circuit protection.

Note:
* Pros are compared with my standard battery charger.

Flipkart service:
The best packing I have ever seen. I have bought few products online before, and this is the best packing. And your shipping partner (Bluedart) was faster than I expected.

I always had lot of problems with the AA charger for my Canon SX20 camera. Infact I bought a Konnoc quick chager for Rs.1600 from a retail store and it was very unfortunate that the chager didnt work even for a single day. Later I bought this Envie Speedster chager and till date it has been working really well. The average charging time is less than an hr for 4 x 2300 mAh batteries. It does have a very effective and simple LCD indicators and is easy to use. The product is light in weight and easy to carry.

One small con: The battery becomes too tight when placed into the chagers which makes it a little tougher for installing and removing the batteries from the charger.

Overall: It is worth the money.

Before purchasing this product i was using camelion over night battery charger which takes around 10 hrs to charge a 2100 mA batteries.
But my experience with my previous charger was not good as on a trip i was with my digital camera and batteries were drained too quickly than my expectations. I just got couple of hour for charging my batteries as we were planning to leave from hotel, but due to its slow charging only 20% of the battery got charge and I was unable to use my camera.
So guys spend a couple of bucks extra and buy this product without any second thought.
