I am very pleased with this charger so far. It does what I need. I had been struggling with a "dumb" charger that only charged in pairs; it was telling me that batteries were "Bad" and refused to charge but I could not easily tell which ones nor how "bad". This Technoline is great. I've even taken around 8 batteries back out of my tub for recycling and brought them back to life. I really love that I can charge singly, set the charge rate, and know exactly how well (current draw) it is charging and discharging. I love the option to "Charge Refresh" (useful for reviving old batteries) and then "Charge Test" to understand what the actual capacity is. My only real problem with the unit is that I now regret not buying it sooner - thinking of all the time wasted with my old charger trying to charge stubborn batteries. I've recommended it to my Dad. It is now on his Christmas list.Read full review

Got this for my sons xbox 1 controller as it eats batteries. Now he always has a set charged (takes 2 AA'S btw) only thing to note is the box says the buttons are soft touch when they are not. It seems this is branded different names from different suppliers but it's the same unit inside. Overall a good buy tho the settings can become abit hard to understand but if you study the instructions it should be easy to use, it does work straight out the box which is good but if you just want to charge batteries with it I would suggest not pressing analysis of the buttons and just let it do its thing.

So far I have only used the charger on its default settings. Basically you insert the batteries, switch it on and it charges the batteries at 200mA until they are charged. It charges the batteries individually and determines when each battery is fully charged. I have charged both aa and aaa batteries. It will charge between one and four batteries at a time. It seems well made. I have not yet used the advanced features such as 1. discharge then recharge 2. Refresh which keeps discharging and recharging until no improvement in capacity. 3. Different charge rates to reduce the time of charge. Apparently it will charge a completely flat battery which some intelligent chargers will not do. So far I am pleased with it. It is easy just to insert the batteries and not have to worry if the battery is already fully charged and I am overcharging it. Discharge recharge cycle should be good to avoid memory effect.Read full review

Be warned this little charger might make you a bit 'geeky' about rechargeable batteries once you've read the manual and fiddled with all the buttons! Lots of useful settings - and the fully discharge function has revived many of my really quite old Eneloops.

This charger is loads better than the Energizer one I was using before I bought this Technoline BL700N. The Enegizer would just light up green telling me the batteries had charged OK, but they would run out of power quickly - the same batteries charged with this BL700N last a lot longer. The discharge/recharge function is handy and especially the refresh mode which bought back batteries to life that my Energizer charger would refuse to charge with a loud bleep!
