Burro Battery Charger - Smart, Fast, AA/AAA - Building Better Lives in Africa
An AA/AAA battery charger optimized for long battery life and convenient use worldwide. Make the switch to rechargeables now. Burro rechargeables work better than alkalines, are better for the environment, and can cost less than one-tenth what you're spending on throw-aways. We've learned a lot about optimal battery charging while operating our novel rechargeable battery rental service in Ghana, West Africa, and the Burro Charger delivers exceptional value and performance.Chargers are different! Be wary of units offering "2 or 4" charging positions-their charge cycle is not controlled individually which can lead to over-charging and battery damage-not to mention the inconvenience of having to wrestle-up a spare battery when you need just one or three charged. The Burro Charger offers four independently controlled channels to protect battery life and give you maximum flexibility. Less expensive battery chargers often use low currents that take overnight to charge. This is both inconvenient and can reduce battery performance compared to higher, optimal charging currents. Similarly, more expensive "very fast" or "15 minute" chargers are too much of a good thing. The Burro charger hits the sweet spot with two amps total charging current, giving charge times of about one hour per battery installed-plenty fast for most applications, and optimized to keep your batteries performing well long-term. A gentle trickle charge kicks in automatically as the battery begins to reach full charge, topping it up to full capacity, and keeping it there safely. Universal input voltage makes the Burro Charger perfect for global travel, and its separate power cord is more convenient for most applications than trying to wrestle a charger full of batteries into an available wall outlet.Pair with Burro Rechargeable Batteries and add a Burro Mobile Charger for unlimited power on the go for your smart phone and other USB devices.
