Battery chargers

The category contains a variety of chargers used to fill exhausted batteries with electricity. Thanks to this, there is no need to buy and replace used batteries used to power various household appliances. Instead, simply place the used batteries in the charging station and then connect it to the mains. After a few hours, these types of energy sources should be ready for further operation. Individual models of chargers differ from each other in several parameters. Before buying, it is worth making sure what type of batteries a specific product is intended for.

Advantages of battery chargers

There are many benefits to using rechargeable batteries instead of traditional batteries. The great advantage of this solution is, of course, convenience. Very often the batteries run out when you least expect it. Usually, you don't have another “fingers” on hand to keep the selected device running. Using rechargeable batteries solves this problem – if they run out, just connect them to charge for a certain period of time. Another advantage of using replacements for traditional batteries are economic issues.

Once purchased batteries and charger can last for at least several years. In general, it is therefore much more profitable than buying another pack of batteries once a month. It is also worth mentioning about ecological considerations. Alkaline cells are difficult to dispose of – after use, they must not be thrown into the garbage can. They should be placed in specially designed containers, which can be found, for example, in electronics stores. The very manufacture of batteries has a detrimental effect on the environment. Limiting the use of such energy sources and replacing them with reusable batteries is much more beneficial for the world around us.

Of course, rechargeable energy carriers have their drawbacks. Over time, their capacity decreases, even if they have not been excessively exploited. With each subsequent filling, their efficiency also decreases. However, they still remain a much more economical and convenient solution than classic batteries used to power, for example, home clocks, TV remote controls, controllers for consoles or toys.

How to choose battery chargers?

People who decide on batteries pay attention primarily to their capacity, charging time and type. In the case of the last criterion, nickel-cadmium (NiCd), nickel-tin (NiZn), NiMH (nickel-metal-hydrogen) non-LSD and NiMH LSD models can be distinguished. The latter seem to be the most efficient. The abbreviation LSD stands for Low Self Discharge, which can be translated as a low self-discharge rate. These types of batteries hold the accumulated energy longer when they are not physically used. These are also the most expensive models, but they will work well in the case of equipment that we use extremely often. NiCd batteries are now rare and hard to come by. NiZn cells, on the other hand, are best suited for devices requiring a higher output voltage. They are also the most environmentally friendly models.

When buying batteries, it is worth choosing the right charger for them right away. The parameters of this equipment are also of great importance for the use of reusable cells. Using the wrong charging base can significantly shorten battery life. The most common mistake made by people choosing chargers is to focus only on the charging speed parameter. A short time to fill the battery with energy does not mean that the device works efficiently and does not destroy the cells. It is worth verifying whether a given charger is equipped with a special microprocessor system that allows monitoring of current and voltage and adjusting these values depending on the type of batteries operated.

Battery chargers in practice. This is worth remembering

It is also worth considering the possibility of loading individual “sticks”in”. The cheapest models of chargers usually allow you to fill at least several pieces of this type of energy sources at the same time. Ideally, the chargers should be powered by 100-230V mains voltage. Thanks to this, they can be used probably in every possible place with access to electricity. Of course, chargers for batteries of various sizes are available for sale, but the most common are devices designed for AA and AAA cells. Smart models are also becoming more and more common, which, in addition to monitoring the voltage and charging time, measure the temperature. State-of-the-art chargers automatically switch off when one of the factory-programmed limits is exceeded.

Manufacturers of chargers are also increasingly paying attention to aesthetic issues. Devices with an attractive design go on sale. The comfort of using the equipment is also very important. Modern chargers are small, so you can easily pack them, for example, in a travel bag and use them even in a hotel.

At el12.pl you will find a wide selection of branded battery chargers

The el12 online store offers several types of battery chargers. We have an assortment from reputable manufacturers of this type of equipment. We sell devices of such brands as Energizer, Haupa, Orno Polska and Sonel. We have chargers that support a different number of cells that require refilling with electricity. We also offer universal models, designed to support, for example, four R6/AA, R03/AAA, R14/C, R20/D and two 6F22/9V batteries. From the simpler devices, we also offer a wall charger with two USB inputs and an LED indicator. The device resembling a power plug allows you to charge many devices such as smartphones, tablets, various mobile devices, flashlights, night lights, etc.

In the EL12 store you can also find more specialized chargers. These include power supplies for charging MPI-508 and MPI-511 batteries. These are cells used to power electronic devices that need more energy, e.g. laptops. The power supplies offered are replacements for the original factory-attached chargers for individual models of portable computers. We have power supplies with a Z2 5.5 mm plug and a universal plug. These are high-quality products made of durable plastic. We also sell highly advanced Li-Ion chargers compatible with all batteries that support the rated voltage of 18V. Such equipment can be used for for recharging a variety of power tools that are used both at home and in professional workshops.

Individual equipment available in the offer may be unavailable in stock at the moment. At that time, the order fulfillment time is a maximum of four weeks. Most often, however, the equipment is delivered to the buyer's address within three days. An annotation about the stock status of a particular product appears on its card.
