Customer Reviews
Love this charger
This charger works great, tells me if my old batteries are still viable, slow-charges, rapid-charges, reconditions batteries, is fairly compact in size, and the price is acceptable. Plus, it's really freakin' easy to use. I don't think I've ever given 5 stars before, but this product deserves it.
I do wish I'd saved some money and gotten the BC-700, because I really don't need the extras.
One note: full reconditioning of old or unused batteries can take days... No two ways around that, it's not the fault of the charger, and very very few chargers do a real reconditioning.
Honestly, I don't see any reason to buy any other charger for A or AA batteries. And, no, I have absolutely no ties to this company nor its distributors.
So far so good
After much reading I decided on this Lacrosse. I have traveled extensively in China and I use AA cells in digital cameras and other high-drain devices-flashes etc. Since I am using high MAH Powerex cells as well as a whole bunch of older Energizers which are still doing well after 4-5 years of use I wanted a charger that would individually charge cells and enable me to match sets of cells. It works well, is easy to program and VERY IMPORTANTLY is small, light , and will take 220 volts as well as 110. No heat issues or other problems so far. The rest of the kit is a nice freebie. Because of free shipping this is a better deal than E-bay or any other merchant I could turn up. Thomas Distributing got my business for the Powerex AA's but not this charger because of the fine print in their return shipping charges. And I wish you good luck if you are getting into the whole set of issues involving precharged AA's . Watch out for the size of the batteries if you have a battery door problem prone camera like the Coolpix 990's, 880,s etc. Some of those new Kodak cells are huge and could put a lot of stress on your battery door. The Powerex are fine in terms of size.
Does not charge D-Cells
this charger seems good, the package was nice, etc. It's important to note that the adapters allow you to use a AA cell in a spot where a D cell should go - a pretty bad idea, as the capacities are very different.
Nice charger, but it doesn't charge C or D cells.
