Editorial Review: Product Description: PRODUCT FEATURES:All modes automatically default to 200 mA charge;Charge both AA and AAA rechargeable batteries simultaneously;Overheat detection to protect over-charging. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Easy to use, lots of info about your batteriesI like this charger because you can just stick any combination of batteries in, and walk away. Or, you can check any parameter, on each of the four slots. Or, you can program for 'refresh' which will bring many old batteries back to a useful life, or 'test' which tells you the capacity of the cell being tested. This unit brought back to life some AA batteries I had bought a year ago with a cheapo charger, that would no longer operate my camera. It's a smart charger that will take care of your batteries. Rating: - Caveat - psychological consequences of the BC-900There is a hidden danger to buying the BC-900 (and I'm sure it applies to the BC-700) that hasn't been written about yet. When you catch up testing and refreshing and charging all of your rechargeable batteries, there's a let-down or feeling of ennui as you realize there are no more batteries to fix. It makes you want to run radios and flashlights just to run down the batteries. Perhaps we can call it the "empty battery nest syndrome"... Rating: - Great upgrade from "dumb" chargers...This smart charger is such an improvement over the standard no-frills chargers that I've had over the years. This one can find batteries that are past their rechargable prime and also rejuvinate others to get the most out of them. Most standard chargers can't tell if one of the batteries you're charging isn't keeping up with the rest. They're all charged for the same amount of time with no regard for the individual battery's condition. By charging each battery individually you can find out ...

But after using it for just over a year now, the slots "3" and "4" starts displaying "000" no matter what kind of batteries I put in. Sometimes, it would seems to start charging, showing the current. Then in a few seconds, it will go to "000". The manual says it will show "000" when overheat. But for me, the "000" will show up even when it first started and the unit is cold! I have the firmware 33 BTW. Slots 1 and 2 seem to ... Read More Rating: - Excellent chargerThis has been a great purchase. I have been using an Olympus charger (bought in 2001) and a Sony charger (bought in 2004). Several batteries no longer were chargeable with those 2 chargers. This charger brought them back to life. It works great and I love seeing the information on the batteries, instead of just one little light. Works as advertised. The included batteries, case etc. are great. Highly recommended charger. |
