 Great Recharger! September 8, 2008
I got my unit about one week ago and since that time, I have recharged quite a few of my batteries and all seem to be excellent now as far as charge goes.
I have found that when a battery is inserted that reads "Null", I am able to pop that battery into my old cheapo charger, charge for a half hour or so and then use this unit to refresh the battery for use.
I would NEVER use my old cheapo charger again for any rechargeable battery that I own. I found that after I "thought" a battery was charged with the old unit, timing the charge, the battery wouldn't last any time at all, even in a wireless mouse!
Great unit and well worth the cost. If you are going to expend the money for more costly rechargeable batteries, spend a few bucks more to make sure you get a good charge, consistently! Highest Recommendation for an all around great charger!
Best and most versatile charger September 8, 2008
This charger does it all, can perform the same or different functions simultaneously on any number of AA or AAA NiMH cells from one to four, in any combination: charge, discharge, test or refresh. It allows you to find out what the ACTUAL mAh capacity is (this may take a couple days or longer if the batteries are refreshed, discharged and recharged repeatedly until the individual cells reach full capacity), and what an eye opener that is when compared with the manufacturer's rated capacity. For me this was one of the most important features, because I've always wanted to know what the batteries' true capacities were. But for someone who doesn't want to take the time to do that, and it does take time, a quicker (if less thorough) capacity test can be done instead.
Some users may just want to use it as a battery charger, and for that purpose it's still about the most flexible unit available -- certainly at this price. It can charge any number of cells up to four, AA and AAA mixed and of different brands and capacities if desired, and at different user-selected charging rates for each cell if desired. Outstanding!
 A nifty charger September 7, 2008
All the numbers and information give me a better sense of security that the charger knows what it's doing than the black box, 1 led type chargers.
Small charger, BBBig power adaptor September 5, 2008

Don't be fooled by the picture. The power adaptor is more than half of the charger!
Good product September 5, 2008
This unit came with the latest version of the chraging program on it. The unit works well. It is used every day without any issues on the lithium batteries. However, if you have some old rechargeables that are completely dead this unit does not always start. So to address this I pop the "dead" batteries into a an old Radio Shack charger. This jumpstarts the batteries with a very small base charge. Then I put the batteries in the new La Crosse charger to condition them.
