Most satisfactory quality

When I insert batteries of different sizes at the same time, the display seems to start blinking and seems to stop charging. Although designed for NiMH batteries, smaller ones like AAA or AA will not fit properly/easily and may not charge unless you carefully insert the battery into the slot and make sure it is not tilted to the right or left is. .

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember

without charger

I have ordered this unit before and it came with a charger but it does not charge (or discharge) the cells as advertised. not even close. Lucky to see 0.5A charging or discharging. If you load multiple cells, forget it. They had a budget engineer to design the power supply for this thing. 1 star because they shorted out my AC to USB wall adapter - what? This thing is supposed to put out only 18 amps for 8 cells and all I get is a USB cable and I need to figure out where to connect it? I'm upset

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

This is a good quality charger/tester. I was able to check the actual mAh of all my batteries (first 4 banks only) and it charges up to 8 batteries at a time. The testing process takes a long time, so please be patient. That being said, it was great to see manufacturers over-price their batteries. It helps to find good/bad battery suppliers so you can stick with the good ones. Unlike other people here, I had no trouble charging AA or even AAA batteries. Just be aware that the charger is…

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some errors
