Charge AAA NiMH Batteries in an AA Charger

Step 3 Charge some AAA batteries

In the photo you can see how the AAA battery with the rolled paper adapter fills the same space utilized by an AA battery. This photo is for illustration purposes only. In actual use it is unwise to charge different types of batteries in a charger like this. Also, this charger calls for either two or four cells charging in it at the same time. You will want at least two of these adapters. If two are charging, place both batteries in the same side of the charger, left or right. Check the directions for your charger.

I now have a larger charger that can handle AAA or AA batteries. But, this small charger is light and compact. It still makes a good choice when traveling.

actually Phil, the AAA batteries are shorter than AA so it wont always work..unless there are springs sticking out ot the charger..instead,why dont you get aluminum foil and stick it in there so its bigger?if you post it i promise to give you a rating,but you are posting false info so i wont rate you,sorry...

You do err. Look closely at the photo in Step 2. Do you see the metallic round spot in the end of my adapter? It is a piece of brass rod. It makes up the difference in length between AA batteries and AAA batteries. Notice also the description of material to be used for this in the words, "Get a thin brass rod or a short piece of #10 bare copper wire. Drill a small hole in the center of the wooden plug and press the copper or brass piece into the hole...Place the roll over an AAA battery. File the brass or copper piece until the length of the AAA battery with the paper adapter is the same length as an AA battery." I believe I did not post any false information, but in your haste you did not read what I wrote nor observe the photos I posted. Now, about my rating from you....
