I own quite a few chargers Ansmann. All perform their services today. Basically you should know in advance what you want to do with it, or which batteries will be charged. This one has got to succeed the Photocam III an LCD display, which improves the information content of the charge state of each well (previously a single LED products) .The display lights up very brightly (blue), and is therefore not to be overlooked in the dark! Basically, however, one should note that the charger does not have individual supervision, ie it must always be paired 2 same battery (type, capacity, NiCd or NiMH) werden.In inserted the display an equal loading progress (bar graph) in the occupied slots will always be displayed even at different discharged battery. That's actually not korrekt.Eine trickle charge is apparently integrated, so that one (more four bars-no movement) can be plugged in the charger even after full charging. The supplied batteries are a Ansmann-acquisition, but very tidy. Neither the charger nor the battery are overly warm or even hot, it's also not a typical fast charger. From a value for money here, it's empfehlenswert.Wer often goes on tour and perhaps always has to load only 2 batteries, since there are smaller units of GP. My absolute unbeaten Favorite- and so today - however, the Ansmann Energy 4, also a plug-in charger. Costs eta 5 more, but without enclosed batteries. But Einzelschachtüberachung present refresh function of only partially discharged battery pack, battery AA, AAA, 9V and with various adapters for different foreign connectors. If indeed probably no longer manufactured, but there are at Ebay - Mobile-energy, price about 27 euro Here, you do nothing wrong, zumals really defective batteries do not even be raped. And: the charger is absolutely robust and makes a high quality impression, although from China but what comes now not really from there? Result: good device, batteries are fully charged properly. The display is actually frills. A different battery assembly has not tried!
