Worthless--save your money
I bought the charger, extra AAs and extra AAAs and NEVER used any of them. The batteries NEVER held a charge. Heck, yesterday, before I ditched it all, I had charged the AAAs for a good 24 hours and the flashlight I put them in barely registered a microwatt of power. And the girth of the AAs was too wide to fit any of the devices I tried putting them in.
Disappointed
I've had the 555 unit for about a year. At first it worked well, but now the charger does not charge the batteries fully and can take 1 or 2 pictures and get the "change battery" message from the camera. Now, the red lights on the charger flash and turn off after a few minutes. Even bought new rechargeable batteries, but it won't charge them either.Unable to find any support for this unit. Should last longer than 1 year!
Disappointing
After more than 12 hours, this "rapid" charger did not charge the batteries that came with it. The charger was also very hot to the touch when it was trying to charge the batteries.
Inexpensive world charger and high capacity batteries
The POWER-2000 XP-333 charges batteries in pairs, with one LED per pair, not as described. The XP-555 charges each battery independently and slightly faster (3 vs 4 hours). The XP-333 charger is very lightweight, the XP-555 is slightly heavier. They work on 110 or 220 V and includes plug adaptors for round European type plugs. I have used the XP-333 in the USA and overseas. POWER-2000 makes several other charger models as well.
The XP-333 and 555 AAs are 2500 mAh, and there are XP-33327 and XP-55527 versions now available with 2700 mAh batteries. AAA batteries charge faster as they hold less charge. AAAs from Power-2000 currently come in 850 and 1000 mAh capacities.
I believe that these capacities for AA ... Read More
mis-information
Description or product is wrong. There is no quad independent power/charging indicators. They are set up in banks of two. One light for two charging bays. Batteries must be charged in banks of two. Tried e-mailing Vidpro for additional info on this charger. E-mail came back as undeliverable. Cannot find any reviews on the internet for this charger.
