If you wanna buy GP Recyko, TRY NOT TO BUY the value pack!! It, consist of a charger and 4 AA batteries, is the cheapest among the packages with charger. The charger model is AR01, which requires consumer to charge 14 hrs for full charge.
Long hours of charging is one of the reason not to buy. The main reason lies with the charger indicator. In usual charger, the indicator will show diff colours to indicate the status of charge. However, for this case, it always light up green, regardless of fully charged or still charging... It also means even after 14 hrs, its still charging!! This will only spoil the batteries and WASTE MY ELECTRICITY!!
I called GP and they told me thats how it works and its also stated in the instruction manual in the box and online too. I dun understand why they would create such a product, especially when their 2 and 6 hr charger does function "intelligently"!! Worse, GP has a history on rechargable batteries and their chargers. My old charger, 4 years old, is even "smarter" =)
I still hope GP or someone could tell me why they would create such a charger.... Does value pack means inclusion of "out-dated" charger? Only GP knoes....
