I have had mine now for nearly 5 months and I don't remember them smelling bad. I use my charger EVERYDAY! I hope it resolves soon for you otherwise maybe contact the seller for an exchange.

I just had the same problem with my last order (11/13). They smell AWFUL. Now that I see someone else had the same problem, I am going to contact the company.

Exactly the same thing happened to me. If anyone knows of another brand or reseller that might actually sell good quality batteries it would be a good idea to hear from them.

Send it back. Try another one. They arent supposed to smell like that.I bought two and no smell like you describe.

I have had mine for some time and don't recall that it was a problem when I installed the battery. Sounds like you may have to return it and get another, BTW, I do like (and trust) the unit.

To be honest I did not discharge them first. I put them in the bays that worked. I had problems with a few of them. I now just tried the bays that did not work worked, but with a different kind of battery. There is something wrong with mine. Bummer

No. If it smells , it's bad. I would suggest that you return it for a replacement. Hope this helps, Maria

I noticed a smell from mine, probably something to do with their being manufactured in China.I don't recall any smell from one I bought 10 or so years ago that was manufactured in the USA.I'll try the new one some more to see if the smell goes away.

I received mine in a small box. Each battery was upright, not terminals touching. The date says "1114A", which I guess means the batteries aren't expired. Nevertheless, that they are opened is worrisome.

I have tge same batteries and they dont make noise. U probably need to get new ones. It could be defected or the charger

I'd be willing to bet the soap has dripped ( and damaged) into the battery compartment. Do your battery terminals appear corroded ?

Mine is great. The batteries were bad and I called the company and they sent new ones out immediately. Great customer service.

My son's did the same thing. We replaced the batteries with no success. We had already pitched the packaging and the garbage has been picked up so we can't return it to TRU. However, I may go purchase a new one and put the bad one in the package and return it for a refund. However, I'm afraid the new one will have the same problem.

Maybe your old set of batteries leaked. If so, use a damp cloth to wipe the battery compartment, especially at the electrical contacts. You may need to scrape them a bit, if there are hard precipitated.

I just opened mine and got the same chemical smell. It is disconcerting. I'll leave them open for a bit and see.

I purchased mine so long ago that I don't recall any specific smells other than getting used to the ions. That may be what you smell. It fades over time. Also be sure that you've removed any plastic on the filters.

I have never had mine emit this smell, so I would recommend you check to make sure you took all the adhesive film off all the surfaces. If you have already done that, then I would send it back if you can.
