Energizer Dock & Go

I've found this to be a handy little charging device. I will break down my experiences quite simply into advantages and disadvantages.

Pro: The battery 'pods' are useful to grab off of the stand and throw in my backpack. It seems to charge the batteries at a good pace. The "vertical" design saves some desk space. The light indicators are helpful.

Cons: The 'pods' are rather delicate. The hinge on the top of the pod separates into two pieces very easily, and also snaps back into place with the same amount of ease. Placing the pods into the stand can be a bit tedious, as they fit in at an angle. I find it to be a process that requries two hands. Lastly, I have a suspicion that if I lose power in my apartment, the charger starts draining the batteries. I have not done actual tests to prove this, but if I take the batteries out after the charger has been unplugged for a while, it seems that are not as charged as they would be otherwise.
