Brilliant! Aug 26, 2010
I have been using rechargeables for 10 years, and this (in my view, 3rd generation) charger is the best by far. It charges fast or completely conditions them by cycling 20 times. It has brought previously dead cells back to life, and increased the capacity of both Sanyo Eneloops and Energizers. Best feature is that you can select a separate program, function or display for **each cell**. No more having to charge in pairs; very, very flexible.

highly functional battery recharger - great buy Aug 24, 2010
This charger is a great buy.

On the first battery I tried 'refresh' mode (original mAh rating of 1700 mAh) it originally charge to 429 mAH full charge. After running refresh mode, it rated 1550 mAH! No more buying new rechargables for a while. I'm slowly working through my other batteries. Refresh actually takes several days on some batteries (several charge / discharge cycles).

You can charge/discharge/refresh/test individual batteries (nicad / nimh only).

I purchased with sanyo eneloop batteries which are great.

Worked fine for 3 weeks Aug 22, 2010
Worked very well for 3 weeks. Then the "mode" button stopped working so I can only use the "Charge" mode loosing the vital functions of "Refresh", "Discharge", "Test".

Nice and decent charger Aug 20, 2010
This is a great charger for the price. Its simple to use once you play around with it. Just read the quick reference and manual and you should be good. The only thing is the buttons are a little jumpy so they don't register exactly every time but once you get used to it becomes easier. Start out with one battery to practice then all four.

Fantastic Aug 17, 2010
This is a great charger for your AA/AAA batteries. It can be as simple as dropping your batteries in and walking away. OR, you can select the charging current for rapid charging, as well as refresh old batteries.
The biggest benefit to me, is that you can see exactly what is going on with your batteries. I have already found 3 batteries that I never knew were bad, and refreshed 4 more. These 4 AA batteries took 350mah of charge the first time I dropped them in. I ran them through a refresh cycle, and they now are back up to the listed capacity of 2200mah!
Get it, you wont be disappointed.
