Review: Freeloader Battery Charger peripheral

Charge batteries from a USB port

The Freeloader Battery Charger is an add-on for the Freeloader solar powered charger and lets you replenish a pair of NiMH or NiCad AA or AAA rechargeable batteries (two AA cells included).

It also works via USB and takes around three and a half hours to fully charge the batteries - three LEDs indicate charging progress.

With no USB extender cable, the charger hangs out rather awkwardly from a USB port, but it’s otherwise very simple to use: insert the batteries, flip out the USB connector and put it into a USB port.

An LED flashlight is also built into the charger, which is a nice touch.
