$3.33 for a Monster Charger. What do I get?


Well, I'm glad you asked. We will send you a brand new Monster High Capacity Pro Charger and wall adapter. It is a microprocessor controlled, multi staged charger for Nickel hydride AA and/or AAA.


This Monster Cable charger can charge up to four 2100 mAh AA or AAA batteries simultaneously in just over an hour. It features Smart Digital Charger circuitry that delivers the exact amount of charge your battery needs, which increases the longevity of your battery. Smart charging technology supplies power to each power cell individually, so you can charge one to four at any time and they will all charge at the same capacity without under or over charging.


This charger also features four individual status LEDs, one for each battery, that light up when charging, turn off when done, and flash when the alkaline or bad battery is mistakenly placed in the Pro Charger. This convenient portable charger comes with an AC adapter.


Sorry,batteries and car adapter are NOT included. Bulk Packaged.

Yeah, noticed that too after ordering. Then again, inverters are a handy thing to have. Only got one since it's so darn ugly! Laughing

The excruciating magnitude of your philosophical confabulations are simply too voluminous for the diminuity of my comprehension.

I haven't had time to look up reviews on these, but I think this is HOT.

Most cheapo battery chargers charge the batteries in pairs, it is the higher end ones that charge each individual cell independently--thus allowing the charger to give each battery exactly what it needs. Which you don't get with the cheapo paired chargers.

In for three even though I only have two 3.33 coupons still available.

Thanks fling crew, great deal!

Is this worth doing when you have to find the batteries elsewhere? Can't you get chargers and batteries together just about anywhere?
I was waiting for this, but no batteries?? Tells me no deal.

And you have to get the specific brand of battery to match the charger, right?

No,you should be able to charge any kind of battery as long as it is rechargable.

The indivudal circuits for each battery make this better than the monster unit that comes with 4 1850 mah nimh aa cells and a flip cover. That unit charges two pairs of 2 cells in series, and is obsolete technology.

Yes You can get chargers and battery combos but you will pay much more than this.
NO any brand works but you need NiMH batteries.

Brick wall I should have looked at how long this item is going to run for before ordering. I should have waited until tomorrow to order it so I could have the cheaper shipping if there is something I want tomorrow. The shipping discount reset at midnight daily is my biggest complaint with TF. Evil or Very Mad

was actually waiting for this to show up as we go through a LOT of AA's around here. However, without the batteries it's a near dead deal in that batteries alone are $12-30 Sad Guess I'll have to keep waiting for a good deal that's NOT a mystery.

I think what you're not realizing is the average run of the mill batteries + battery charger bundle have pretty low end battery chargers (and/or low MaH ratings on the batteries).

The typical el cheapo battery charger generally charges batteries in series of pairs. So basically they normally will only have two battery charging LED indicators because two batteries have to be in a bank before it can charge. This means that both batteries get applied the same charge no matter what==even if one is only half dead while the other is dead.

THIS monster charger however is as near as I can figure, a steal at $3.33, it individually charges every battery (and has the tell tale 4 LEDs to prove it) which is a trait you typically only find on high end expensive charges. It means that no matter what you put in, a half dead battery or quarter charged battery, each battery will receive a charge appropriate to what it needs. This will prolong the lifetime of your batteries as well as provide a better charge.

Also as has been pointed out this charger should more or less work with any Ni-mh rechargeable brand. In my opinion the best rechargeable deals usually come stand alone (sans charger) and in bulk anyway.

I'm in for three.

I bought one from ThingFling last year (for a lot more $), and it is absolutely the BEST charger I have ever owned. Smart, fast and good for the longevity of your batteries. You will not be sorry! Two of these will be gifts and one will be my spare.

Those of you in need of batteries should check out all-battery dot com and get their Tenergy 2600mAh AA batteries... Good stuff.

these batteries might not be a good match... quoting from the charger specs, "This Monster Cable charger can charge up to four 2100 mAh AA or AAA batteries simultaneously in just over an hour"
