It is already my second charger of its kind. The last went 4 days before the end of the warranty period broken. However Ansmann himself gives 3 years warranty on its products, one year more than usual. The equipment has been replaced without difficulty and was full of batteries bestückt.Prima Service. That alone convinced me again to buy a Ansmann device. I can only recommend this relatively small but powerful device. I had it at that time bought, because it is so small that you can take it well when traveling.
