Product review: The MH-C9000 WizardOne NiMH battery charger from Powerex Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

That's why I've put my reputation behind only one brand of battery: powerex. These batteries (which we also sell at www.BetterLifeGoods.com) are among the best I've found in the industry (and I've searched resources across Asia, the U.S. and Europe). Their 2700mAh AA battery is made in Japan and comes with an astonishing five year warranty. That's the best in the business! Plus, they're RoHS certified, meaning they adhere to strict guidelines on the reduction of hazardous materials. Click here to view / purchase our powerex AA batteries..

Powerex NiMH rechargeable batteries that work with the charger. To maintain my journalistic integrity on this product, I'll give you both the pros and cons of the MH-C9000 later in this review (see below). Offers features simply not found on other battery chargers This charger makes your rechargeable batteries last longer and perform better, so you get more out of your investment in any NiMH battery you own, regardless of the manufacturer.

Actual discharge capacity: 1792 mAh (tested at 270ma discharge rate) Cost to recharge a powerex NiMH AA 2700 battery: 2 cents Actual discharge capacity: 2635 mAh (also tested at 270ma discharge rate) In other words, a quality rechargeable battery provides more power than a Duracell Coppertop for less than 1/100th the cost! (You can reproduce these same results on the MH-C9000, by the way. Test the batteries yourself and see!) Using alkaline batteries, in other words, is an enormous waste of money and natural resources. Throway batteries are bad for the environment.

So if you're interested in saving money, reducing toxic waste, conserving natural resources and being a smart consumer, check out the MH-C9000 WizardOne charger and get some powerex NiMH batteries to go with it. You can't go wrong with this combination of outstanding technology and safety features. The MH-C9000 is now the charger I use at home. It has replaced my La Crosse BC-900 and an entire bank of cheap chargers from Duracell, Energizer and Sony that I'm giving away to Goodwill.

NiMH battery charger showdown: Maha Energy MH-C9000 WizardOne vs. La Crosse Technology BC-900 AlphaPower Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Only two consumer-level battery chargers are competing for the top slot: the La Crosse Technology BC-900 AlphaPower Battery Charger and the powerex MH-C9000 WizardOne battery charger. For this review, I purchased them both and conducted numerous tests over a period of several weeks. Ultimately, I liked the powerex MH-C9000 so much that I decided to carry it on www.BetterLifeGoods.com , so keep that in mind as you read this review. Here's my critical look at both products: The La Crosse BC-900 Battery Charger The BC-900 offers four main modes: Charge: Charges the battery to full capacity.

Energizer Batteries Exposed: NewsTarget Investigation Reveals Truth About "D" Rechargeable Batteries Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Recommend honest brands are Sony, Sanyo and powerex, all of which are available in much higher capacities than the Energizer "D" battery (at about the same cost). I believe that rechargeable batteries are an important "green living" technology that can help consumers be less wasteful in their use of valuable earth resources. NiMH batteries can be reused 1,000 times before being thrown away, greatly reducing landfill and the introduction of toxic metals into the environment.

We recommend our powerex 2700 AA batteries, also available on this site.) You can also use this battery compartment as a makeshift battery charger. Insert any pair of rechargeable AA batteries and crank the dynamo handle for several minutes. A charge of approximately 200mA (milliamps) will flow into the batteries. Please note that this is only a makeshift battery charging solution. You'd have to crank the dynamo handle like this for one hour to charge a pair of typical rechargeable AA batteries to only 10% of their capacity. But in a pinch, it's a workable makeshift solution.

The best way to charge the unit is to charge its AA batteries in a NiMH battery charger like the powerex WizardOne battery charger we sell on this site (which is a premium, top-of-the-line charger that also measures battery capacity and performance). In all, you'll find our 8-in-1 Dynamo Emergency Tool to be an essential device in your vehicle or home (or use it in both places!). It's a smart step towards personal or family preparedness. Every person we've shown this to has said, "I gotta have one in my car!
