Product? Good. Editorial Review on here? Not good.,

This review is from: Kodak Rapid Charger with 4 AA NiMh Batteries (Electronics)
Right up there in the Editorial review, it says "Each of the four Kodak Max AA NiMH rechargeable batteries offers a 1,850 mAh capacity rating..."This device comes with 4 Kodak batteries - so it seemed to me that it was implying that this came with 4 Kodak Max AA NiMH rechargable batteries that were 1,850 mAh...But no. It comes with 4 1600 mAh batteries.Not a huge deal, but it is particularly annoying for me since I was going to buy something else and then switched to this specifically because of what that said.
But I want to use this stuff now, so I'm not going to go through the trouble of returning it all.

I must be a battery charger junkie. I bought my first NiCd battery charger when they first came out, and I still remember how big and awesome-looking it was. And it charged two AA NiCd batteries in, oh, 24 hours. Then the batteries would run down after about 5 hours in my Walkman. Those were the good old days.Anyway, nowadays I must have more than half a dozen battery chargers. What I like about the Kodak Rapid Charger is it does a very reliable job of charging four NiMH batteries in a few hours. The exact charge time depends on (i) AA or AAA, (ii) how many batteries, (iii) how much charge is left in the batteries, (iv) the total capacity of the batteries (e.g., 1600 vs. 2400),(v) room temperature, and (vi) random factors that even the electrical engineers don't have a clue about. Suffice it to say that a fresh set of 4 AA batteries will charge in about 3 hours, give or take half an hour. Much better than the overnight chargers.Also, compared to my Radio Shack stock...Read more

Charger stopped charging,

I was impressed with the charger for about 1 month---than it stopped charging the NiMh batteries it came with. I took it back to Best Buy only to find that ALL of the Rapid Chargers on thier shelf did not work either. A sales person and I tested them all, hoping I would be able to exchange my broken one with one that worked.
It was more disappointing after calling Kodak ---they were unable to replace it or get my money back. I thought purchasing a Kodak was a smart decision, however, they did not stand behind their product which was very disappointing.
