I bought a $30 battery analyzer on Amazon, and it revealed the truth about my gadget drawer
"I've worked hard over the past few years to move away from disposable alkaline batteries and replace them with rechargeable equivalents. After all, there are some great brands of rechargeable AAA, AA, C, and D cell batteries available that will last you for years. And I've found that the best way to take care of these batteries is to charge them using a decent charger."
"The VX2 Pro is a two-slot battery charger that can take a wide variety of cell types and sizes. You can pop in AA, AAA, C, D, 18650, 21700, and more, and the unit will automatically detect the battery's chemistry, offering a wide array of functions to help you get the most from your battery. The large LCD screen is bright and clear, displaying all the necessary information about the unit's batteries."
"The charger features a USB-C port for charging and includes a 20W charger and cable. It also comes with a handy storage bag to keep everything together when not in use. Also: This is the only power bank I'll ever need for work travel (and all the gadgets it can charge) At the most basic level, you have charging, which brings the battery to full capacity in the safest way possible."
Transitioning from disposable alkalines to rechargeable AAA, AA, C, and D cells reduces waste and delivers long-term value. Proper charging preserves battery life because high current chargers can overheat and shorten lifespan. The Xtar VX2 Pro is a two-slot smart charger that accepts many sizes including AA, AAA, C, D, 18650 and 21700, and automatically detects battery chemistry. A bright LCD shows charging parameters and options, and front-panel buttons let users select functions. The unit charges via USB-C and ships with a 20W charger, cable, and storage bag. Automated charge management optimizes power delivery for safe, full-capacity charging.
