As a tech reviewer, I burn through an awful lot of AA and AAA batteries—everything from my August smart lock to smart smoke alarms and random household bits and bobs. In this video I’m testing the Linogy 8‑Bay Battery Charger, and it’s genuinely one of the most thoughtful “level up” upgrades I’ve used for rechargeable batteries. I walk through the unboxing (fully recyclable, almost Apple‑esque), the USB‑C power setup (no proprietary adapter—love that), and how the charger handles both AA and AAA using these clever AA-to-AAA converters. Where Linogy really stands out is the experience and the automation. You load up to eight batteries, the indicator lights show where each one is in the charge cycle, and once they’re done they literally drop into the bottom drawer automatically—super cool the first few times, and it also helps prevent overcharging. On top of that, there’s a built-in battery test bay and an e‑ink display that shows battery info and generates a QR code to an environmental impact dashboard where you can track batteries charged, CO2 savings, and even “name a tree” and watch it grow. I also cover the safety features and pricing—$79 retail—which I think is solid considering the tech and the overall design.
