Ansmann Energy 16 Plus Speed Battery Charger

The Ansmann Energy 16 Plus Speed Battery Charger is a compact, high-performance charging solution designed for both home and professional users who require reliable charging across multiple battery sizes. Compatible with NiMH and NiCd rechargeable batteries, the charger supports AA, AAA, C, D and 9V cells, making it ideal for everything from cordless phones and remote controls to torches, cameras and industrial equipment.

One of the standout features of the Energy 16 Plus is its ability to charge batteries individually rather than in pairs, giving far greater flexibility than many standard chargers. The charger can handle up to 16 x AA or AAA batteries simultaneously, up to 6 x C or D cells, or up to 2 x 9V batteries, depending on the charging configuration used.

Each charging slot features an independent LED status indicator which clearly displays the charging condition of every battery inserted. The intelligent microprocessor-controlled charging system automatically monitors battery condition and charging status to help maximise battery life and charging performance. A flashing red LED indicates an issue such as a defective battery, incorrect polarity, or unsuitable input voltage.

The charger delivers fast and efficient charging currents across all supported battery sizes. AA batteries are charged at up to 1000mA, AAA batteries at 400mA, C and D cells at 1000mA, and 9V batteries at 60mA. Typical charging times are approximately 2.5–4 hours for AA batteries, 2–4 hours for AAA batteries, and longer for high-capacity C and D cells depending on battery capacity.

The Ansmann Energy 16 Plus is mains powered and includes a physical hardware power switch for convenient operation. It also features integrated USB charging outputs for powering external USB devices directly from the charger, adding further versatility for travel, workshops, offices and home environments.

With advanced safety protection including overcharge protection, defective cell detection and short-circuit prevention, the Ansmann Energy 16 Plus offers a dependable and flexible rechargeable battery charging solution for demanding everyday use.
