Step 12Battery charger: from AA only to AA / AAA

I have a small Energizer battery charger that supports 4 AA cells. However, I needed to charge AAA cells so I found a quick fix. By using a standoff, I was able to charge my AAA cells without modifying the original charger!

I'm pretty sure you didn't have to "mod" this at all. I have an Energizer charger that looks identical to this with very slight variation and it can charge both AA and AAA. try flipping that black tab under the LED indicator down to pop down the spacer. If I'm wrong, more power to you (no pun intended ;)

Hello! You are totally right! Thanks for your comment, I didn't know this feature before. Let's say that the standoff trick can be used with other chargers ;)
