I have been using my Duracell CEF14 battery charger to charge my Panasonic EVOLTA and IKEA Ladda batteries for a long time. For some reason, my CEF14 charger started not to charge my IKEA batteries fully and decided to buy IKEA STENKOL charger. I’m using it for about 6 months and this time is enough to make IKEA Stenkol battery charger review.

IKEA Stenkol Overview
The IKEA Stenkol Battery Charger is designed to charge only AA and AAA rechargeable NiMH batteries. These batteries are most commonly used household devices like tooth brushes, flashlights, cameras, remote controls, and small toys. Notice that, it is not suitable for some other batteries, like 3.7V 18650 batteries. Stenkol is part of IKEA’s eco-friendly products behavior which aims to reduce disposable batteries. Great for earth! I like supporting these companies and products, too.
IKEA Stenkol is not the best battery charger, but it is a good combination of performance and price. If you are looking for an affordable but reliable battery charger, IKEA Stenkol is great choice!

Design and Features
IKEA Stenkol has a clear and simple design. It has four slots and you can use both AA and AAA NiMH batteries simultaneously in each slot. Good thing with this charger is that; You can charge each slot individually! In older chargers, usually you must charge batteries 2-pair or 4-pair but you can charge only one battery, in any slot which Stenkol! This is a big plus.
All slots have a two color led indicator to inform you about charging process.
Meanings of led indicators:
- Pulsing a White led Light: Battery is Charging normally
- Continuous White led Light: Charging Completed.
- Flashing Red led Light: Faulty battery or Slot.
IKEA Stenkol has a nice original green color and simple but elegant design. It is very easy to mount and unmount batteries to the charger slots.
According to IKEA, Stenkol is made of Polycarbonate plastic which is 50% recycled.
