Preface:
Had the Ansmann 1001-0005 initially relatively frequent and long in operation. I used it to charge my batteries for my high-quality LED flashlights and older Siemens cordless telephones, which are still powered by the large AA batteries. Were used exclusively brand new batteries, such as Sanyo Eneloop white and black with slightly higher capacity. It must of course be no Eneloops; only I had let myself be carried away by the time the disproportionately high quality reviews little, especially since the white slightly weaker capacity batteries from Sanyo had a reputation of being very robust against mistreatment. Once has the Stiftung Warentest tested allerhang pre-charged batteries of the latest generation I would also others, some still tested as better batteries, decide today readily.
The new batteries (here the aforementioned Eneloops) tolerated in moderation, especially when new problems fast charging with high charging currents, when the batteries are required fast times. Nevertheless, one should actually positive with this property not be taken too literally, make especially not often use this method.
Reason: In some modern battery with low self-discharge, depending on the manufacturer, the effective capacity decreases by rapid charging more or less time-lapse from what by implication means that the manufacturer's maximum recommended number of cycles for charges - would not be nearly ereicht and discharges.
Now briefly to the device:
Overall, and after plenty of deliberation, I was not convinced by the device. The weaknesses in the details.
Least expensive equipment can not keep imposing more costly technology. It should not be blind to rely on a lot of positive feedback and are decided not only by cheap price. Any subsequent purchase are likely annoying and can be easily avoided with previous research better!
The highly acclaimed charging technology corresponds unfortunately only the usual and cheap mass production standard. The above-average number and high reviews probably testify to lack of opportunities for comparison, the buyer and marketing strategies of the vendor / manufacturer.
The operation is cumbersome and not well thought out in every detail. Especially when the charge with mixed battery types - and sizes - is to be charging currents individually is to quickly find inviabilities here.
Highest charging currents for example only in the outer charging slots. Average charging bays in these cases, disabled, etc. The batteries are deulich to warm to hot to my mind. Whether this is good for batteries over time.
With completely intact batteries often does the changeover to trickle charging very delayed and unreliable, which is why the charge of a single battery can take much longer to complete than a Inden matic of remaining capacity and variety in other rechargeable batteries.
Some loaders are because of their enormous maturity at low load, - discharging recommended only when the batteries are not needed as quickly or else geeignetets charger in the household is present.
Due to the very compact design and the display falls puny up in areas hardly Readable from. The details of the invited falls of only three digits. I do not need glasses and have very good eyes, think it is really a disgrace. The manufacturer should decide in this case for an automatic or manual switching display with large font and attention to detail.
The control buttons are small and flabby. They make an imprecise impression. Do I have to charge identical batteries must nevertheless for each charging bay the program or load, - discharge current can be set separately. There is no automatic transfer of pre-set parameters to the other shafts. The setting of the charge - discharge takes place in part to big jumps. It lacks one or other intermediate.
The kit includes a 12-volt charging cable to operate the road in the vehicle and a USB charging port, for example, for charging a mobile phone, if it be necessarily and no other charge possibility. This function is not connected to the display, yet they can parallel charge of batteries in the device to.
Overall, I according to my different practical experience little faith in the daily reliability of each individual load.
Have decided against some extra charge and intense selection for the rather individual and almost perfect charger volt power Charge Manager 420, where I even after months of regular use, initially in parallel with the Ansmann, could not find the smallest point of criticism and it has a totally reliable charging technology ,
Who possessed far more than an older and simpler charger is safe perfections with this at his own expense, but not suitable for demanding users.
Thank you that you have read this far in the hope I could contribute something to your purchasing decision or general informational content.
