GP ReCyko Charge 10 Ultra Fast charger is the worlds fastest NiMH rechargeable battery charger., Black

Product Information

To test the GP ReCyko 2600mAh AA, I used an Ansmann Energy XC3000 battery tester. First, I measured the charged batteries’ voltage, which should be at least 1.2V. Here, the voltage was 1.35V. Voltage drops as the batteries are emptied, although that loss is lower with rechargeable batteries than it is with alkaline batteries.

First, I drained the batteries and then fast-charged them for 10 minutes. I measured the tested capacity at 1769mAh using a high load of 600mAh (+/- 20%), with the test stopping when the batteries reach 0.94V. The results here were spot on the rated capacity. Built on innovative charging technology, it can recharge batteries in just 10 minutes*! But the charger is only half the story. The magic lies in the combination of both Charge 10 charger and Charge 10 rechargeable batteries - designed for everyday life, they will outperform expectations on both high or low drain devices.

Speed Charger

Price is the other issue: these are more expensive batteries than much of the competition. If you need the extra power, the extra outlay is worth it; if not, a set of lower-capacity batteries may do the job for you. To test the batteries, I used an Ansmann Energy XC3000 battery tester. First, I measured the starting voltage, which should be at least 1.2V for NiMH batteries. The Duracell Rechargeable AA 2500mAh measured in at 1.29V, which is a good starting point. Voltage drops as the batteries are emptied of charge, although the voltage drop is lower for rechargeable batteries than alkaline non-rechargeable units. A relatively high price and comparatively short number of charge cycles do take the shine off them a little. Design and Charges Charge 10 charger is compact and stylish, it charges four 1700mAh AA Recyko Charge 10 batteries to 90%+ of full charge capacity in just 10 minutes. Other AA rechargeable batteries are also compatible with the Charge 10 charger. Its intelligent charging profile selects the optimum charging current, from 1.5A to 10A, to fully charge up the batteries in the shortest period. Choose between two charging settings: Ultra-fast when time is of the essence or Eco mode to maximise battery lifetime.

An excellent set of all-rounders, the GP ReCyko Pro 2000mAh AA batteries can do everything. While most will last for around 500 charging cycles, these ones will last for a huge 1500 cyles – three times longer. That helps offset the slightly higher asking price, as these batteries will last for longer than the competition. Recyko Charge 10 AA 1700mAh NiMH rechargeable batteries contain a specially engineered chemistry that enables them to be charges in 10 minutes* with the Charge 10 Ultra-Fast Charger. With high performance attributes and a cycle life of 700 times**, it is ideal for power-intensive devices. This battery comes pre-charged and ready to use. And what’s more, it retains up to 80% of its power after 12 months. With an operating temperature ranging from -20°C to +50°C, it delivers reliable performance even in extreme environments.I use an Ansmann Energy XC3000 battery test to measure actual performance. First, I measure the voltage of the batteries when fully charged. The initial voltage of the GP ReCyko Pro 2000mAh AA was 1.4V, which is pushing what you’d expect from an alkaline battery. It used to be that rechargeable batteries suffered from high battery drain, losing a considerable amount of power while sat idle, which made them unsuitable for many jobs. For example, in remote controls, rechargeable batteries would run out of power at more regular intervals than standard disposable batteries, making them an annoying choice. However, improvements in technology now mean that there are rechargeables that can compete with alkaline models for longevity. By powering your camera with ReCyko Pro Photoflash rechargeable batteries, you reduce the extra clutter that photography demands whilst ensuring your camera is ready when you are. That said, the batteries are rated to last for only up to 300 charge cycles, which is 100 fewer than the Duracell Rechargeable AA 2500mAh batteries and 400 cycles shorter than the GP ReCyko Charge 10 batteries (assuming the slow-charging method is used). Charge 10 is compact and stylish - it charges four 1700mAh AA Recyko Charge 10 batteries to 90%+ of full charge capacity in just 10minutes. Other rechargeable NiMH AA and AAA batteries are also compatible with the Charge 10. Its unique charging algorithm profile selects the optimum charging current to charge up the batteries in the shortest period. Choose between two charging modes: Ultra-fast mode when time is of the essence or Eco mode to maximise battery lifetime.
