Here are some customer reviews of
LaCrosse Technology BC-900 AlphaPower Battery Charger
: I really like being able to see the progress of the charging, as well as knowing when the batteries are actually finished. By comparing the charging times of different batteries, I can tell when I have a bad one. I also really like the ability to charge at different rates. If I need a quicker charge in the field, the max setting will do it in roughly an hour (with a battery of 2000mAh). If, however, I am charging overnight, I can set it to a lower rate and give the batteries a good charge they will hold longer. All the options I have needed so far are in this charger.
Excellent product because it monitors the condition of each of up to (4) batteries and tells you their individual charging status. It also allows you to select the charging rate for the batteries for both slow or fast charges.
It comes with AA and AAA batteries, a good-size carrying case, and adaptors for AA to C- and D-cells. All these features make it a good value, as compared to other chargers that you might find in local department stores.
So far this charger has been everything I hoped it would be. It is the best charging system that I have seen. The only reason that I did not give it five stars is that I have not had it long enough to determine its durability. If it lasts 10 years and doesn't eat up batteries then I will be very happy I bought it..
The charger works very well. To understand all the features you need to review the manual. It successfully recharged and even restored some older batteries. It provides the status on all four batteries. It also allows different settings for each side of the charger bay (two batteries on each site). The only negative comment I have is that one of the included AA batteries was DOA.
The description listed that it includes 4 C- and 4 D-size battery adapters, I thought that this meant an adapter to charge C and D batteries, but found the adapters really provide the ability to insert a AA battery into the adapter and use the AA battery into devices requiring C or D batteries like flash lighes or boom boxes. Which is nice feature.
I read all the reviews I could find on this product before I purchased it. If your looking for a 15 MINUTE CHARGER, pick another product. This charger can do so much more than a quicky charger. Not only does it tell the charge of each battery, you can check the battery after you use it and see how much charge is left in the battery before charging it. You can also run the charge down before charging. Helps the life of the battery. I am very pleased with my LaCrosse Technology BC-900 AlphaPower Battery Charger.
Thanks
