EverCharge Frequently Asked Questions - FAQS |
Can I mix different types of batteries in the EverCharge at the same time?
Answer: Although the EverCharge can charge different sizes of the same battery type, it cannot charge different battery types/chemistries at the same time. This is because the EverCharge uses specific voltages and charging methods which are best suited to optimize the charge cycle of each battery chemistry.
How do I know what type or chemistry of battery I am trying to charge?
Answer: Every battery will have its chemistry written on it somewhere. Look at the writing on the battery, it will tell you whether the battery is Ni-MH or Ni-Cd of Alkaline. Then just move the selection witch on the EverCharge to match the chemistry written on the battery.
How much does it cost to recharge batteries with the EverCharge?
Answer.The EverCharge uses very little electricity to per charge cycle. In practice the cost of charging batteries in the EverCharge is only a couple of pence.
I want to charge alkaline batteries and it says on the battery “Do not recharge battery may leak or explode”?
Answer: The EverCharge is no ordinary battery charger and is fully capable of recharging or more correctly reconditioning alkaline batteries safely. It uses a pulsed charge rate with a feedback control system when reconditioning alkaline cells.
How long should I charge alkaline batteries for to get the most out of a reconditioning cycle?
Answer: For maximum recharging or reconditioning of alkaline cells it is best to leave them in the charger for a full 24 hours. Even though the charge light will go green before 24 hours, that time depending on how discharged the alkaline cell is. This is because the EverCharge has reconditioned the alkaline cell to its 1.5 volt operating current. However, we have found that leaving the alkaline cell a full 24 hours (the EverCharge switches to trickle charge after the charge light goes green) more deeply reconditions the alkaline cell and approaches its original capacity.
How many times may I be able to recondition an alkaline cell?
Answer: How many times the cell can be reconditioned depends on the quality of the battery. Using our recommendations for reconditioning alkaline cells we are quite confident that you will get 8 – 10 cycles out of a quality alkaline cell. The first few charge cycles approaching original capacity and subsequent cycles slowly declining in capacity.
I want to recondition alkaline 9-volt prismatic batteries can the EverCharge do this?
Answer: We don’t recommend using the EverCharge to recondition alkaline 9-volt prismatic batteries. See the section “EverCharge and alkaline 9-volt prismatic batteries on the EverCharge Use page for a full explanation.
