Review on πŸ”‹ Hitech iC-808UL-LCD 8-Bank Smart Quick Charger/Discharger with LCD Display for AA and AAA Batteries by Patricia Williams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fast and clear lock.

Works with eight cells, AA, AAA or a combination of the above. Unlike some chargers, each compartment is individual; No need to search for matching pairs to charge the batteries. The measurement and parameters are simple but easy to understand. It managed to wake up a few pesky batteries, but no one would mistake that for one of those advanced user chargers. This is just your basic test to see if they accept a charge and then charge it. All of this points to the fact that mine was apparently built in the last few days of the tail capacitor plague. A week after arrival, one of them stopped. Investigation found a nice thick Tonga connector with a broken seal, and managed to remove the circuit board that served half the ports. Replaced the cap and it's been running flawlessly ever since. But now he can only do six cells, not the full eight. So be careful; If you have the slightest problem, return it immediately for a refund. You may have gotten the capacitor plague.

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Something different
