 Plastic feel. smart charger. misinterpreted batteries November 26, 2009
Martin R. Pitel (Toronto, ON CANADA)
Comes with a travel bag, adapters, and extra batteries which are always nice. Charger is smart compared to other quick chargers that are timed. Love the feature which allows me to change settings on how I want the batteries to be charged(refresh, charge, discharge, etc).
Downsides are the plastic, cheap feel of the charger which I believe could lead to overheating and other similar incidents. Batteries are not 2600 mah as stated but they work. On some batteries that had not been used for a while, please note that there is a minimum charge for the batteries to work on the charger or the charger would read it as "NULL."
Overall, aside from the cheap, plastic feel of the charger and the misinterpreted batteries; the charger is solid in its own right and so far it is the best charger that I had. If not for the sale price I would not buy this charger, so a 3-star for me.
Good Charger - Cheap adapters November 26, 2009
R. Romero (Los Angeles, USA)
I bought this charger because we are expecting our first child and thus have a bunch of battery operated toys. I decided that instead of wasting batteries, I would be green and recharge. I was specifically looking for 4 D Cells and 4 C Cells and it appeared that this unit provided these. I got the unit and went about "refreshing" the batteries per the instructions. This took about 4 days to complete on the AA size batteries. I went to put the AA batteries in the D Cell adapters and realized that you have to use the C size adapters inside of the D cell adapters in order for the D Cell to work. This means that you cannot use the C adapters if you are using the D adapters. So it's either/or but not both. Additionally, the adapters are very poor quality and pop open easily. The charger appears simple to operate once I figured it was fully automatic and the quality of the charger met my expectations. I returned the unit because I looked for additional C adapters and they were about $20 on Amazon. Additionally, I would need to buy 4 more AA rechargeable batteries in order to use the 4 D and the 4 C that I need. I figure at that point, I'm well past any savings this system could provide - for my needs. I returned the unit.

Just what the doctor ordered! November 22, 2009

I was looking for a charger that was simple enough that my wife would be ok with using it, and with features that would allow me to optimize my varied batteries that have collected over the years. The product was beyond expectations (I have bought other "special" chargers in the past). Simple to use, great user interface and good value.
 complete crap November 22, 2009

This is a complete waste of money. Charger ran for 3 days and 'Select' buttons 2 and 3 are now permanently depressed. Never over heated and used as directed, just poor design and build quality.
