Background
Back in around 2018 if I am not mistaken, I was walking around at IKEA and I noticed that they are selling rechargeable batteries. I took a deeper look at the offerings they have and feeling that the prices are quite affordable, I decided to get the IKEA LADDA rechargeable batteries and IKEA VINNINGE USB Battery Charger.
The Stuff
The IKEA VINNINGE USB Battery Charger comes in a rectangular shape design with a USB-A cable sticking out. It is able to charge 2 batteries at a time and supports both AA and AAA size batteries.
According to the IKEA Singapore website, it turns off automatically when the batteries are fully charged, defective, or too hot.
Here are some pictures that I have taken to show what the stuff looks like:

Usage and Experience
I have been using the IKEA VINNINGE USB Battery Charger for years. What I like is that the size of this battery charger is small and portable to bring around, especially when traveling.
Also, with the cable being USB, I can simply use it on a computer, a power bank, or a USB adapter to charge my batteries.
As the output is not very high, it takes hours to completely charge the batteries. Also, there is only one light indicator. I will not know which one completes charging if I were to put 2 batteries to charge.
What I do is that I simply just use a USB adapter, plug it into a power socket and leave it to charge overnight.
