PowerGenix Quick Charger and Batteries Review and Giveaway

Posted by Ellie-A Little of This and a Little of That at 11:39 PM


I have always have had such a hard time finding batteries that will last in my camera.  Well until I came across PowerGenix Batteries.   Seriously I know it sounds like just a line but it's not.  I put the PowerGenix Batteries in my digital camera at least 2 weeks ago and they still have full power.  I usually have to change them during the day if I am using my camera at an event.  I used the batteries the camera requested that I buy and use with the camera and they still didn't last as long as the PowerGenix.  They are amazing and I am in awe that I still have full power.  
 This is what PowerGenix sent me:


From the website:
PowerGenix Quick Charger delivers an efficient & fast charge at a great value. Charge two AA or AAA NiZn batteries in 1 to 1.5 hours, or charge 4 AA batteries in about 3 hours. Features a built-in "switching" power supply which will automatically adjust to any voltage from 100-240VAC for international use. The PowerGenix Quick Charger is intended for use with eco-friendly NiZn batteries only.
NiZn technology is perfectly suited for high-tech devices like MP3 players, digital cameras, toys, and LED lights.
Experience the Power by making the change to cutting-edge, environmentally friendly PowerGenix NiZn Chargers and Batteries today!



PowerGenix is an environmentally friendly battery developer and manufacturer based in San Diego, Ca.  PowerGenix's rechargeable  AA batteries are a great choice for consumers because they provide the power level of disposables and the environmental benefits of disposables.

The batteries I use the most are AA in my digital camera.

Unlike many other materials, both nickel and zinc can be recycled again and again while maintaining their physical and chemical properties, as there remains the same amount of each element at the end of a particular product cycle as at the beginning.

I usually buy Duracell batteries for our devices (digital camera, remote controls, flashlights, radio). At the PowerGenix site, I learned that nickel zinc batteries were developed almost 100 years ago to power automobiles!

kathy pease on April 2, 2010 7:09 PM said... 25

PowerGenix’s batteries deliver 1.6 volts of power, allowing users to get full performance out of their devices. To put this in context, most electronic devices are designed to perform optimally with disposable alkaline batteries, which deliver 1.5 volts of power. However, traditional rechargeable batteries (NiMH and NiCd chemistries) deliver only 1.2 volts, which causes devices to under-perform.
