Type of review

Starting to really like this charger. It actually charges each cell independently and can even identify bad cells, which is nice. Even though the D-Cells are PHYSICALLY blocking the 9V slot, you can certainly install it with a pair of 9V wire clamps so you can charge 9V at the same time with no consequences as far as I can tell. To be honest the only thing I can think of to improve this product is maybe a similar extension so you can load 9V along with C and D cells physically blocking the 9V…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubt

Works well, well built, simple.

Works well, well built and very easy to use. The spring-loaded battery terminals are comfortable to the touch and not flimsy. It doesn't have super bright LEDs to keep you up at night. This continues until FINISH appears on the display. With USB power delivery, don't expect your batteries to be fully charged quickly. Simple and carefree. Does not heat up when fully charged with batteries, unlike some chargers. It contains 4 D-Cells so I run two of them to charge 8 at the same time. Other D-Cell

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors have arrived

Works well but D batteries take time to charge

I bought this to charge 10,000mAh NI-MH Tenergy 4 cell D batteries. (Note: These are high capacity D batteries, not the ones you typically find in large department stores which only pack 1 AA battery in a D case). Charged 24 hours from 10% of the charge (once you put it). They were almost charged when I had to temporarily unplug the USB-C and then plug it back in. After that, the state of charge started near the starting point. It took another hour to fully charge. It is best to use a USB-C…

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
