5 out of 5 stars This is a $$$ saver   December 2, 2008
this charger is the best i had some rechargeable batteries laing around from 2002-2003 they wouldn't not hold a charge anymore did a refresh cycle on them are boom they work almost as good as when i got them maybe missing a 5% of the capacity they used to have. but considering they wouldn't hold a charge before that incredible... reading other reviews i never had any problems with this charger it gets warm when discharging but not hot and defenatly not on fire =)
great buy =)

I've looked at rechargeable batteries as a solution for a long time, but always from a distance. Three years ago, I picked up a $20 retail store charger and battery combo and took it for a spin. Within a month, the batteries wouldn't hold a charge. I didn't understand it and didn't research at the time, so I tossed it all.

Recently, I started looking at rechargeables again. Between Xbox 360 controllers, remotes, and cameras, rechargeables just seemed to make sense if they could ever work right. That's when I went into overdrive research mode and realized that my retail store charger was overcharging and destroying batteries. Everything lead me back to the BC-900. I'm totally satisfied.

For anyone curious about revisions, my model is V35.

5 out of 5 stars Great little battery charger   November 30, 2008
I've only had this charger for a couple of week. It's so easy to use and the charged batteries last longer then standard one use batteries.
I didn't realize that the AA batteries have converters to make them into C's and D's..... They work great...
I use the batteries in 2 small fans that require D cells. I also bought a set of 4 AAA's for my battery powered toothbrush and camera.
I consider this a very good product.

I bought the La Crosse BC-900 after having repeated problems with dead NiMH AA batteries used in a wireless telephone system. I found out that the batteries I had been using had gone from 2650 mah to less than 300 milliamp hours. The telephone charging stations were rejecting the batteries.

I was able to test and determine most of the batteries were of poor quality. By Refreshing, and testing, one can determine the actual MAH capacity of a battery and pair it with another of like capacity.

One trick is to mark each battery with a unique number, build a spreadsheet of all your batteries and keep a history. You might also try a small piece of tape on each battery and note the MAH after charging.

Each of the four battery compartments are isolated in their function,(Mode) and charge levels.

Some users remark that the two interior compartments are hard to get batteries out while other batteries are on the outside. I placed a small loop around each of the two interior batteries before inserting and they pop out easily. A rubber band would work. I used a small plastic tie fastener.

One trick for selecting the mode is to place the batteries in the unit, unplug and plug again. The 8 seconds are sufficient for selecting both mode and charge levels.

I find myself toggling the display to see a status. Each battery displays the MAH at the moment the unit goes from discharge to charge. That number will remain the same until the next discharge cycle. I use a small pad of paper near the charger to note in four columns the most recent MAH read-out.

One will also note the time of the current mode (charge or discharge and the present Milliamp draw. Simple math MA x time determine MAHs.

Since I have several brands of NiMH, so far I am observing that the resultant MAH is about the same for each battery. However, few of the batteries come even close to the rated MAH on the battery. I might have fried them using a "Millennium" Rapidcharger I bought years ago.

I have put all of the old chargers away. I only need one now to put voltage on a discharged NimH to get the BC-900 to read something and avoid a NULL readout.
