Customer Reviews

Great Charger
This is the first charger I've seen that actually lets you choose how fast you charge it, which is a big plus. Each battery has it's own display with different, selectable stats (charge rate, amount charged, voltage). Most importantly, it actually seems to stop charging when the battery when it's full. This is a must buy.
