Review on Tenergy Rechargeable Batteries Charger Battery by Saundra Maybank

Charger and batteries just received so too new for a long term review. I can say I have 2 concerns. First, the device emits an odor resembling something like burning plastic or possibly some type of chemical. The smell does not fill the room and is only noticeable next to the device, but it is still annoying. Second, the charger and batteries were purchased as a set. The batteries supplied with the charger are Nickel Cadmium (NiCd). The charger's instruction manual specifically states that ONLY Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries should be charged. Why choose a package deal that doesn't go together? It's like buying a new petrol car and having the dealer fill it up with diesel fuel.
