Nizan’s huh? I just think of them in the long tense nickel zinc, nizan does have a futuristic ring to it though.

That said, I called all seven Job Lot stores within a 40 miles radius and bought up every package of unsold Powergenix NiZn batteries with chargers which was 12 in all. Two packs have the black FAST chargers (3 to 5 hour charging) which only charge batteries in pairs or fours and ten packs have the more expensive (and I think better) white chargers (1 to 2 hour charging) which will charge one, two, three or four batteries at a time. The white QUICK chargers’ monitor each individual battery’s voltage, begins charging the lowest one up to the voltage of the next higher one, then begins charging them both until they reach the voltage of the next higher one, then charge all three up to the voltage of the highest one and finally charges all four simultaneously up to a full charge. This ability makes the more expensive white charger a hands down winner and well worth the extra $10 or so they cost over the basic 3 to 5 hour charger.

Job Lot sells them for $8 a pack regardless of the type of charger included, so the 48 batteries I have cost me only $96 or $2 each and the chargers were essentially free!

Although NiZn’s are green and as safe to toss in the trash as alkaline batteries, since both Nickel and Zinc are both finite in quantity on earth, I would highly recommend recycling them when they no longer will take a charge. Hopefully as they grow, Powergenix will create a recycling program for customers.

Did I neglect to mention that these NiZn batteries have me as excited as a kid in a candy store? Lol. If anyone cares, since I was unable to find an English Professor to tell me how to pronounce “NiZn”, utilizing the past common pronunciations of Nicad’s and Nimeh’s I simply call them Nizan’s.

It may be though that certain stores will stop carrying them as they really aren’t all that known, but I don’t know for sure. It looks like Amazon still sells them so you can still stock up.

As a matter of fact I did just read about a solar battery charger – I’ll have to look it up again and do a post on it. Perhaps without the vampire bats this time – although I might have to battle blinding solar flares and burning hot lava – we’ll see…
