Car Charger for iPod Nano 5G, 4 Mar 2010

By 

Jonathan C. Bruce – See all my reviews

  

Exactly what I wanted and allows me to keep my iPod Nano 5G charged in the car so I can listen to my favourite tunes all day long.

At the price hard not to rate this at 5 stars.

Superb Value, 16 April 2010

Bought this mainly as a back up/emergency use in car for iPhone 3GS and it is brilliant.

Sure all it does is charge, but thats all I needed! No connection issues, perfect fit, perfect charge!

Could not be happier for a product at that price to actually do what it says!

Some quirks, 19 Feb 2010

I bought this as a replacement for a “one hour fast-charger” that I think hasn’t been properly charging my batteries.

It works, but it seems to have some oddities, unless my unit is slightly faulty. I checked all my recharagable batteries (mainly AAs) to see if they all worked OK. I went through them all discharging and charging and then discharging (in a torch or two). I found that when I took the batteries out of a torch that had been left on all night the charger would sometimes reject them (flashing red light), apparently it didn’t like any cells that had very low residual voltages (less than a 100mV or so). Usually, by leaving the battery in for a while and trying again the prioblem was overcome, but a bit of a pain. But when it charges it seems to work. Some batteries I thought might be duff seemed actually to be fine, but because of the lower voltage produced by these cells (1.25 approx) one of my digital cameras reported them as flat (which for it they were) but they still worked fine in other devices.

Also, a part charged, warm, battery can be rejected if removed and reinserted, seems to need to cool down.

And I was surprised how long a just-charged (unused) battery would appear to need charging if it were reinserted in the charger.

But it is nice to have a charger that you can put in odd combinations of numbers and cell sizes.

The charger that could…, 7 Dec 2009

By 

M. Knight – See all my reviews

  

Duracell charger:

Pros:

- Good size and weight to it. It does not feel cheaply made even though it is plastic. Hinged lid with an oval gap in it to avoid overheating. Seperate plug which makes it easy to place charger. Main batteries are held in place by sprung loaded compartments

- Individual lights for each battery. Each battery is assigned an led charging light so makes charging indvidual batteries a plus

- Charges individual batteries

- Charger avoids overcharging cells

- 110 – 240v ac can be used overseas

Possible Cons:

There are no major flaws that i am aware of as it does everything i need it to (only used AA and AAA in the charger)…

- Obviously not a quick charger, will take about 4 to 6 hours for most batteries. So if you do not need batteries fast it is not a con. Just stock up on some rechargables and keep them ready in the charger, duracell supremes are cheap on marketplace, so stock up.

Comes with a 2 pin plug !, 25 Mar 2010

By 

Mr. Paul Billingham “paul55112″ (UK) – See all my reviews

  

Am a bit annoyed that the product description mentions nothing of the fact that it comes with a 2 pin euro plug despite being despatched from the UK.

Cleverly designed plug, 10 Nov 2010

I bought this plug together with my new ipod touch 8gb. The ipod does not come with a mains charger so this does the job perfectly as I can charge my ipod around the house. Some thought has gone into the design of this plug as the usb socket sits at the top when plugged into the wall, which makes it easier to plug/unplug the cable.

Does Exactly What It Says, 28 Sep 2009

there are many usb chargers on the market – it’s better to get something better quality, where the leads don’t pull out etc. the Groov-e charger is exactly that, has a neat little led light when charging.

for this price you can’t go wrong

Awful!, 12 Aug 2010

By 

D. Sampath (London, UK) – See all my reviews

  

This is very bad, bought this on a express delivery as i wanted to use this on a trip to wales. I was dismayed to see that the power this charger provided wasn’t enough to even keep my HTC Desire going and finally after just 2 hours of hours of use, my phone shutdown and had to rely on Atlas for directions It stopped working totally the next day. Don’t ever buy this cheap chinese item. Go for a genuine one from HTC instead.

does the job, 17 Jun 2010

Kathryn Marshall (Cheshire, UK) – See all my reviews

  

The charger is very compact and easy to pack away in the glove box so its always at hand in case of emergencies. It’s been great to have this last month as I’ve not been home much and not always had access to charge the phone normally. It seems to have a good rate of charge too.

Bargain!, 5 Jan 2010

By 

E. A. Newcombe (South Wales, UK) – See all my reviews

  

I was a bit worried about not buying an apple charger because of some of the problems reported with other products, but in the end I was so impressed by the price I bought this one. So glad I did! Haven’t used my iPod nano for several months however as soon as I plugged it into the charger it began charging and was fully charged in a few hours. Also postage was extremely quick… no problems at all – buy this item!
