This charger is a small desktop charger for 4 cells of AA size or AAA. Basically, the two usual modes available: loading and unloading When you load the current depends on the size (AA / AAA) and the number of load cells. This is between 150mA and 1200mA. The discharge current is fixed with 300mA. The device provides a third mode (Battery Doctor) available. The repair of deep-discharged cells. The cells appear in some chargers as defective and will no longer be charged also. I suspect that the cells are here simply acted independently of any measurements with a charging current. Thus, the cells are then brought back over the threshold and can then be loaded as normal. Status of the charge / discharge process is displayed on the LCD display. Having described the device has a thermal shutdown, provided the cells are too hot during charging. I have tried the whole not. My batteries have not become hot during charging. In the product description is always spoken of batteries. In order to be popularly referred to the single-use products (primary cells). Rechargeable are secondary cells, so-called battery. I advise explicitly depend on batteries (primary cells) or to charge to try this. Selbige are usually not intended for recharging. Anecdote from the past: Previously one has extended the life of a battery so that, by having them mounted on the heater. This has the Walkman still elicits two songs more. Really successful, this approach was not!
As a battery charger for the battery charger, I would recommend without exception! Conventional batteries will see this device with me not! 5 Star gets it because it is the, what it is intended, namely to charge batteries, very well done!
