Great price on a widely available 2-channel charger.
With most people using batteries in pairs, the limitations of a 2-channel charger shouldn't be significant. However, note that you don't have to pay a million dollars more for a comparable 4-channel model (where each battery is recharged independently).
I have over 40 amazon basics rechargeables. Most garbage batteries ever. Low charge, quick drain etc no matter which model version. I wont waste a single penny on these ever
After spending a bunch of money trying out different brands of rechargeable batteries, I have decided to simply stop using them entirely. They all suck.
The biggest problem is that rechargeable AA batteries have a nominal voltage of 1.2v as opposed to 1.5v of a typical battery. For some devices this works fine, but I have simply run into too many instances were they don't work, or only work for a very short period of time. Some devices, for example, require six AAs. That would normally be 9v, but with 6 rechargeables it's only delivering 7.2v - the device powers on for a split second and shuts off again.
They also seem to lose quite a bit of charge when sitting idle.
I'm going back to waiting for the $0.25 per battery deals on normal AAs. Way less headache, they're actually full when you grab a new one, and I also don't have to worry about losing them.
I'm sure for other people it's different, but for me they're just not worth using.

i really tried to make this work. lots of bad batteries either discharging too fast or the
"top/nipple" isn't long enough to reach the metal slot in devices.
Title is confusing. 4 AA/AAA batteries sounds like somehow they are compatible with AA and AAA, or that there are total of 8 batteries. For $11 it's 4 AAA batteries and a charger

How are we still on 2000mah batteries? I used to buy 2500mah batteries 20 years ago
the 2000mah batteries are MORE durable. it is the inner construction that matters, not the mah. you get more capacity and less durability an electronic geek told me concerning the Eneloops.
Those are only good if you're on-the-go. You have to occupy a USB-C charger for each one with that system. Sucks for households with lots of rechargeable battery devices. Sucks for households that have kids. Give me one device I can plug into the wall and charge 4 or 8 batteries at a time. Much more convenient.

In fact, IKEA has their model [ikea.com] widely available for $7.
Alternately, Costco has often sold a four-channel charger in starter kits (so with batteries) for under $20.
Good luck!

Is 21$ a good price ?

The charger in that example is a 8-battery, single-channel USB-C powered model (you have to supply the USB-C power brick).
Definitely a diffferent beast to the charger on offer here or something like the $7 IKEA model mentioned earlier.
Good luck!
