The NiMh battery charger should stop charging when the batteries are fully charged. However, the charger I received usually stopped charging before the batteries were fully charged. I know this because I have a very short battery life after charging with this charger.

Evaluate how LittoKala or Zanflare heat up during discharge on this device. My LittoKala eventually smoked and…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Great price
