If you use rechargeable batteries then you need this! October 11, 2008
Zulfiqar Ali Naushad (Saudi Arabia)
Truly a splendid product!

First off the bundle is quite generous. It comes with various adapters, 4 batteries and a handy carrying pouch.

I use a lot of different types of batteries with this charger and you can mix and match since each battery slot has it's own power rail and is controlled independently from the others.

So you could be charging a AAA in one, a high capacity in another, and refreshing 2 other batteries all at the same time.

The device is easy to use, but does require you to read the manual to understand the wealth of features it has.

Very highly recommended!

CAT Scan for your batteries October 10, 2008

A battery is a pretty inscrutable item. It's got power or it doesn't. But there are stages of discharge and potential rates of charge and maximum levels of charge which can be realized if the battery is prepared correctly. This charger tells you all sorts of interesting things about your batteries. And one of the best things is that out of four identical batteries, it will tell you which one(s) are null/dead. That is great. It's a drag to put batteries through a charging cycle and think that they are ready for some work and then they last 15 minutes because one is dead. But which one? The BC-900 tells you the moment you put the batteries in to charge or whatever process you choose.

It definitely pays to read the informative instruction book with this item. I was a little put off at first as I didn't want to think that much about charging batteries. But it pays to understand what it will do. This is a battery charger that has a variety of modes and using the Discharge and Refresh modes is important for reaching the potential of your batteries. And the variety of current charge rates means you don't have to fry the batteries to get them charged. Slow and cool is the way to go.

I've had mine for about two months and I wish I'd had it much sooner. I tossed three chargers and at least as much $$ as I spent on this one. Plus I bought some more batteries thinking the ones I had were pooped out but they weren't at all. They were fine. They just needed to be "refreshed" which can take a few days if you do it slow but the process really pumps them back up. I'm just using mine for AA batteries for my camera and flash.

If you're going to spend the day taking pictures in the boonies, it's very nice to have some confidence that you're not hauling around dead weight. The BC-900 will make that as possible as a battery charger can.

I like it.

The charger really DOES make a difference! October 6, 2008

Wow, what a difference a charger makes. I use eneloup batteries for my off camera flash units --the Nikon SB 800 and Nikon SB 600 -- both really eat up battery energy. Since switching from my cheaper charger to this one, the battery life is really notably extended. Much less aggravation than with the old, cheap charger. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for

Great product. Pays for itself with better battery life/performance. Too bad there is not a model for C/D/9 volt batteries.

highly recommend it if you want to get the maximum potential out of your older batteries as well as any new ones you purchase. I've already retired all my other chargers and rely on the La Crosse BC-900 exclusively.
