This device does what it is supposed to do, i.e. charge two rechargeable AA batteries. That's the "pros". The "cons" are: 1) it takes about an hour to complete its work. 2) The batteries are difficult to remove from the charger. The instructions say don't use a sharp object to remove them but I have to use a small screw driver to extract them. 3) There is no cord. The device itself plugs directly into the wall outlet. That's not terrible, but having a cord would be nice.

This charger will save a lot of batteries. The charger works great and the customer service provided by Garmin has been amazing. (I lost one of the plugs and Garmin sent me a new part for FREE.) I still carry a set of alkaline batteries just in case the rechargeable ones die.

The supplied rechargeable batteries will not charge. They actually never charged, even out of the box. I am not sure if it is the charger or the batteries. But I messed with it long enough that now it is outside of the return window. I just couldn't believe something from Garmin, and Amazon, would not work out of the box and I thought I was doing something wrong.
