Money Saver for Work
In my line of work as both a residential and commercial inspector, one of my main tools of the trade is a flashlight.  Needless to say I go through a lot of batteries.  I have been using the Platinum LSD charger with AA batteries and I always keep 2 sets of batteries - one set of fully charged back ups and  a set in the flashlight.  I am impressed with how long the charged batteries last in the flashlight.  They last nearly as long as new batteries off the shelf.  The one thing I did notice though is that the light doesn't gradually get dimmer as the batteries get weaker - it goes pretty quickly.  I always keep a spare set in my pocket each day so it isn't a big deal but this can be an inconvenience at times.  This is why I didn't give this product 5 Stars.<br /><br />Another Plus to the charger is it's relatively compact size for a multi-size battery charger. I had a similar one by a competitor and it is extremely large and that tooki up quite a bit more counter and cupboard space compared to the Ray O Vac charging unit.<br /><br />Finally, there may already be a converter for a car outlet out there for this, but if not, that would pretty much make this a 5 star rating in my book.
Rating: 4 stars
