 The charger really DOES make a difference! October 6, 2008

Wow, what a difference a charger makes. I use eneloup batteries for my off camera flash units --the Nikon SB 800 and Nikon SB 600 -- both really eat up battery energy. Since switching from my cheaper charger to this one, the battery life is really notably extended. Much less aggravation than with the old, cheap charger. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for

Great product. Pays for itself with better battery life/performance. Too bad there is not a model for C/D/9 volt batteries.
Best battery charger I've ever used September 30, 2008

highly recommend it if you want to get the maximum potential out of your older batteries as well as any new ones you purchase. I've already retired all my other chargers and rely on the La Crosse BC-900 exclusively.
if you use a lot of batteries, this will save you lots of money September 30, 2008

I never caught on to the "smart" battery charger before. I had thought a simple charger from energizer or duracell would be adequate. I was completely wrong. Those chargers will just kill the battery cells over long term/repeated use. I had been using a pair of rechargeable batteries for my logitech wireless mouse for about 5 years and i had thought they were done since they would no longer charge in the dock. I put them in the BC900 charger and it refreshed them back to almost its original capacity... 1550/1800. and this was just using the discharge test mode which charges the battery, discharges, then charges it to its max capacity. im sure if i use the discharge/refresh(charge and discharges until max capacity is achieved) mode i could probably get them back to close to its original capacity.
This is a MUST buy if you use a lot of rechargeable batteries... it will save you money easily over the long run compared to using other chargers. The extra batteries and accessories also adds value to the charger package. mine is v35 with the newer AA 2600mAh and AAA 1000mAh batteries.
Finally arrived. September 30, 2008

The estimated date of shipment for this product was 10 days after purchase. Not like Amazon. I will update the review if and when it arrives. I gave it 5 stars based on other reviews. More to come.
Finally received it. The many positive and detailed reviews of this product are on target. Although it is relatively expensive compared to others on the market, its functionality, versatility and the information it provides on each battery justify the price. It definitely merits 5 stars.
