 Nice little full function charger except..... August 8, 2008

Nice little full function charger except (1) the external power supply or power brick could is little too big; (2) the carrying bag is poorly torn on the first day. Otherwise it is great and good value.
 A great charger August 2, 2008

This is a great charger. The multiple modes come in handy - refreshing an older battery, determining the capacity, or just re-charging. Being able to control the charging rate is very nice. I usually use the lowest charge rate to be easiest on the battery. The unit is small enough for traveling and it accepts international voltages (100 to 240V). In the past I was using a cheap small plug mounted high current charger when traveling and it trashed my batteries.
The only issue I have seen with the unit is that batteries with a very low voltage are not charged. I drop them into another charger I have for a short bit and then they can be charged in the BC-900. This issue does not happen often, though.
Way more charger than you'll ever need! August 2, 2008

But simple enough if you just want to throw your batteries in and go. Brought a couple old batteries back from the dead. Good price too, especially considering it comes with 4 AAA's and 4 AA's to get you started.
Works amazingly well August 1, 2008

Works as advertised. I did not notice any undue heat issues, my unit was ON non-stop for 11 days, wherein I was refreshing all my batteries (AA and AAA) at the lowest current setting and the unit never went beyond the room temperature. Maybe I have an unit with the latest firmware or maybe the higher current settings might heat up the unit.
Almost perfect. July 30, 2008

That's my second BC-900 charger. I need to charge 8 batteries at once that's why I own two. I am very happy with it so far. It has many great features, some of them you will use more often than others but it is good to know they are there in case you need them. Charger displays all important info you might need during charging process which is also a big plus. It comes with converters in case you need other type of battery which might be a great solution for some. I have not used it though. There is also a pouch included so you can store everything in one place or have it with you when traveling. The pouch is big enough to fit two chargers which is very convenient for me.
The only cons I have are:
- lack of fan which causes the charging process to stop when batteries are overheated. Charging starts automatically once the batteries cool down.
- capacity - only 4 batteries. It would be great to have one larger unit instead of buying two small ones.
Overall it is a great product. Definitely worth the money. One of the best and one of the least expensive on the market.
