Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Power 2000 XP-333 NiMH Rapid AA and AAA Battery ChargerCustomer Review: Inexpensive world charger and high capacity batteries Summary: 5 Stars
The POWER-2000 XP-333 charges batteries in pairs, with one LED per pair, not as described. The XP-555 charges each battery independently and slightly faster (3 vs 4 hours). The XP-333 charger is very lightweight, the XP-555 is slightly heavier. They work on 110 or 220 V and includes plug adaptors for round European type plugs. I have used the XP-333 in the USA and overseas. POWER-2000 makes several other charger models as well.
The XP-333 and 555 AAs are 2500 mAh, and there are XP-33327 and XP-55527 versions now available with 2700 mAh batteries. AAA batteries charge faster as they hold less charge. AAAs from Power-2000 currently come in 850 and 1000 mAh capacities.
I believe that these capacities for AA and AAA from POWER-2000 and other NiMH makers are twice as great or maybe more than alkalines. As I recall, some years ago Duracell copper top AAs have 1100 mAh. I have not found recent figures on the web, but got the old figure by calling the 800 number on the Duracell packages. Duracell Ultras appear to have a bit higher mAh figure, but I do not know that that is.
The 1.2 V for NiMH vs 1.5 V for alkalines seems to make no practical difference as I am told, and I believe it is correct, that alkaline voltage drops rapidly under 1.5 V after initial use while I understand that the NiMH holds its 1.2 V value for some time.
