The end of the year is a traditional time for summaries. Based on our sales data for 2024, regarding retail sales on the hurt.com.pl and total sales including wholesale, we have prepared a subjective ranking of Ni-MH and lithium-ion battery chargers for you.
1. everActive LC-200 microUSB charger for cylindrical Li-ion batteries
The undisputed sales leader. It allows you to charge 1 or 2 pieces of lithium-ion batteries in popular sizes, including 18650 (including "long" ones with electronic protection).
A big advantage of this everActive charger is very simple operation and high reliability at the same time. It charges batteries with a relatively high maximum charging current of 1000 mA for each installed cell. 2 x 18650 2200 mAh batteries are charged in just 2.5 hours.
The charger is powered via a micro USB port via any power supply used to charge e.g. a mobile phone.

2. Panasonic eneloop BQ-CC55 Ni-MH battery charger
The eneloop brand is particularly appreciated by professionals. eneloop batteries are used by photographers, recording studios or in popular trail cameras. It should therefore come as no surprise that the eneloop charger also ranks very high in our ranking. The Panasonic eneloop BQ-CC55 charger is often purchased as a set together with eneloop Ni-MH rechargeable batteries (white or eneloop PRO – black).
The eneloop BQ-CC55 is an easy-to-use, fast and well-made microprocessor-controlled charger. It has 4 independent charging channels. The approximate charging time for eneloop AA 2000 mAh batteries is about 3 hours, and for eneloop AAA 800 mAh batteries also about 3 hours.

3. everActive NC-450 Ni-MH battery charger
This small everActive charger is a frequent choice of customers due to its very attractive value for money. It has all the basic functions required for the proper operation of Ni-MH batteries of sizes R6/AA and R03/AAA. It has a backlit LCD display to indicate the charging status. It also has independent charging channels that allow you to charge from 1 to 4 Ni-MH cells of any capacity, in any configuration, including batteries of different sizes, i.e. AA and AAA.
4. everActive NC-1000M Ni-MH battery charger
The everActive NC-1000M charger is a relatively new design. The year 2024 will see a significant increase in the popularity of this charger, resulting in a very high position in our ranking.

6. EverActive LC-100 Li-ion cylindrical battery charger
Another compact charger for lithium-ion batteries. The LC-100 is the sister of the LC-200 charger, but designed for single cell charging. It has a charging current of 1000 mA and a function to reactivate deeply discharged cells. The charger is powered by a micro USB port.
7. Charger for cylindrical Li-ion and Ni-MH batteries XTAR VC4SL
The first universal charger in our list. It allows you to charge not only popular Ni-MH batteries, but also lithium-ion batteries. In addition, it has a number of useful, advanced functions: a three-stage charging process for Li-ion cells, 5 charging currents to choose from, grade mode (charging/discharging/charging – allowing you to accurately examine the actual capacity of the battery), or storage mode. It has 4 independent charging channels and an extensive LCD display. The charger is powered by a USB-C cable.
