It charges and restores batteries well in some conditions but: - the display is not lit, which makes it very frustrating to use - the operations require a good couple of reads of the manual, not intuitive at all - batteries in certain conditions - completely drained, or unused for a long time - simply won't be charged, as specified in the user manual, they require to be charged with a normal charger first All in all a huge waste of time and money, I will have to buy something else.

I bought this charger primarily because my range of AAA batteries have differing capacities (500mAh, 700mAh, and 1000mAh, and my old charger couldn't deal with this at all well. Being able to select the charge current on a battery by battery basis means I can charge 4 at a time without any problems whatsoever, and the LCD display gives useful feedback on progress. I haven't used the USB socket yet, but the ability to charge my mobile at the same time is an added bonus. Downsides? Well if I'm being picky it's a shame you can only charge AA & AAA batteries, but I only have a couple of 9V smoke alarm type batteries and my old charger can cope with those, so it's not a big issue. All in all this is a great charger with great features and I'd definitely recommend it.

The charger is excellent, with numerous helpful functions and variable charging rates. A minor niggle is an inability to charge wholly 'dead' batteries. However, search online for the paperclip method of getting around this. The manual is rubbish, however search for the La Crosse BC-1000 manual - the vast majority of which applies to this item.

Brilliant charger for AA/AAA batteries, lots of settings but easy to use if you read the instructions!!. Can recover older batteries that have developed memory problems. Great make, had another 2 uniross chargers for over 20+ years, still working fine and saved me a fortune(and wastage in landfill),in single use batteries. Recommended product. Everyone should use this, after all most rechargeable batteries will do 500+ cycles or more. Worth the extra investment, pays for itself many times over. Save money and the planet!!.
