Reviews
I bought this charger because I wanted a smart charger that would switch off when batteries are fully charged (I only had a "dumb" charger before). Not only is this charger smart, it also treats every battery separately (my old one needed pairs of batteries). It is also quite fast (refreshed and charged 4x2000mAh batteries in 6 hours whereas I had to charge them for 20 hours with my old "dumb" charger), and can refresh batteries. However, one of the biggest advantages, in my view, is the charger's small size and light weight, suitable for carrying it in a pocket, and universal worldwide voltage. It is not a "plug-in" charger, it comes with a standard 2-wire cord like the ones you have for stereos and small appliances (e.g. Universal AC Power Cord WITH Two Prong [Misc.]). Basically, this means that you can take this charger around the world with you without the need to get adaptors - you can just take a cord from a local stereo or desk lamp, or buy a cheap cable locally). I'm using this charger in my home country (we have 220V power network) with a cord from my stereo :)
