Review: USB Battery Charger (EBL C9010N)
battery gadget review USB · 5 comments · 250 words
I'll review anything with a USB-C port. When hardware companies offer to send me a gadget to review, I'll always reply back with "only if it has USB-C".
The EBL C9010N has a USB micro socket. *sigh* We live in the future now. Don't buy anything which requires you to have multiple cables and adapters. In terms of what the products does, it is… basically fine. Plug in Ni-MH or Ni-CD batteries and they will slowly charge.
The batteries go in at a slight angle, which makes them slightly easier to get out.
There's an LED to show you if individual batteries are charging (red) or full (green).
And… that's it! There's no WiFi, Bluetooth, or percentage indicator - just individual LEDs. It won't ping you to say it is charged. But then, it is only a tenner.
Build quality is adequate. It is light and doesn't get too warm when charging. It clicks very gently as it charges. There's a misspelling on the back, indicating that it takes Ni-NH batteries.
If you want a cheap way to recharge batteries, this is fine. It's about a tenner for the charger by itself. If you want a charger and 8 batteries, that's about £16.
That's reasonable value for money. But, personally, I think you should treat yourself to something with more features and a modern USB port.
