Super Convenient 4.5 *s This is a great product with only a few issues. I can't do half stars so I'm rounding up. Please do not let the fact that I didn't give it a perfect score dissuade you from purchasing. I just want to give a well-rounded review. Pros:
  • 8 Bays
  • NiMH AND Li-ion batteries
  • NiMH/Li-ion Simultaneously
  • Power cord keeps it away from the plug
  • Individually controlled charging
Cons:
  • Output current is 650mA across the board??? This is a fast charge and burns through batteries quicker than a trickle charge
  • I'm not sure how it throttles the mAs as it gets to full charge as ...
  • Several batteries became quite warm
  • Experimentally, one water-damaged NiMH battery got quite hot in this charger (my other charger refused to charge it)
  • No control over the charging process.
  • 4-bar LED shows charge level but it's not totally clear to me that the charge process is over when the 4th bar is first lit. I'm guessing solid 4 bars means 100% but that's a guess.
Overall, I really love this product. I have chargers with more control but they don't charge Li and NiMH simultaneously. I would definitely recommend this charger.
