[QUOTE="Glevum Owl, post: 607459, member: 27703"] [COLOR=#000000]I've had a few days to play with the charger and, although it's too soon to say if it's tickled any life back into my older batteries, it has charged everything I've put in it without trouble. [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]All in all I'm pleased with it.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]A few observations:[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]- the instructions are pretty clear (some Amazon reviews thought them complex),[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]- easy to operate: plug in, insert batteries, dim display, walk away,[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]- it seems best to fill the slots working left to right as I couldn't otherwise dim the display - odd but minor idiosyncrasy,[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]- unit stayed cool even when all four slots were full and charging,[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]- an Li-ion 18650 took hours to charge - this is first such battery I've had so I've no idea if this is normal but it works fine in the torch,[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]- AAs were held securely - tried two at normal current, then two at low current - charged fine, no heating just slightly warm to the touch,[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]- AAAs were loose in the slots and can slip off the contacts if the unit's knocked but OK with a little care,[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]- slots are wide enough for fingers presumably because they're designed to take the more portly C cells - see image but note I have small hands![/COLOR] [ATTACH align="left"]245843._xfImport[/ATTACH][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
