1Completely non-functional  Sep 08, 2010
This item may work for others, but for me it's complete waste. It didn't come with the clip needed to use AAA batteries with it and makes no mention of that clip anywhere so it took forever to figure out why the AAA's weren't fitting in.

Then most of the time the screen shows NULL with inserted batteries. You're supposed to push the buttons within 8 seconds of inserting a battery to set the charge options, but I found the time limit more like 2-3 seconds and even then it didn't work.

It may charge fine if you can actually get it to work. I never did. Clearly it has major design flaws and quality control issues. Not recommended.

5Brilliant!  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.

5highly 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.

2Worked 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".

5Nice 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.
