Old versus new - Ansmann Energy 4 against CM2016 - the old technology wins!

Pro:
+ High charging currents for round cells possible
+ Charging currents of cylindrical cells can be flexibly adjusted
+ Very knowledgable regarding loading parameters etc.
+ Heat from the device and the battery is kept within limits
+ Despite high charging currents without fans and otherwise pleasantly quiet

Contraindications:
- Too low and not adjustable higher charging currents for 9V blocks
- Too many old AA cells produce nothing but error messages

Conclusion:
You like to advertise yes in new superchargers uA so that they can refresh old cells. It is here, however, the CM 2016 easy unacceptable picky because he acknowledged old cells like with Err, rather than simply to load. Neither are old cells thus loaded, yet refreshed. Charging simply aborts and then happened maybe not more selective, but the same for all inlaid round cells. The you have to load one sheet until you find out which cell is actually not as accepted, and which cells will not be accepted.

In contrast, my old, but already aufwartender with modern features Ansmann Energy proposes 4 surprisingly good. The charges also old cells without hesitation - if they already are not really stone dead, what will laconically acknowledged there with a red flashing LED as an error and by meter usually is well understood (often simply an internal short circuit, so definitely dead).

Actually not a bad device, but for the price I would have expected more. The low charge currents for 9V batteries, and the fact that old batteries that are still quite usable in flashlights and Co. tend to be simply rejected, can then also make at the end of the day just the talkative display no longer compensate. For Geeks certainly funny, all this then also the PC to evaluate precisely, but I would like simply full battery and also see it a not know why I should throw it away, if I can still easily load in an old charger. An old charger, which was incidentally also already equipped with delta V cut-off, invites 9V blocks in less time and, indeed, reliably detects when z .. Batteries are shorted internally, in less hopeless cases but simply charging old batteries, instead of just to complain about their poor condition.
