The charger is small and compact. I use it to recharge Ansmann AA and AAA batteries with a large capacity. The batteries are charged quickly (quick charger), and hold even after many years without further ado. The battery of Ansmann I can only recommend, they have virtually no self-discharge, can recharge months lying around and after that give juice. To discharge function, I can not say anything because I do not use my batteries can be recharged in the half-empty state. Annoying, perhaps, is that not a single AA or AAA can be charged. I love that in mind, I invite four at a time. Beware of cheap chargers! A quick charger as this is controlled by electronics and dosed the charge current depending on the battery condition. Chargers always charge independent of the battery with the same charging current use batteries from above average fast!
