Batteries are only as good as the charger, with which they are charged. I have all these years always used cheap 10 Chargers, where you could set the options "Test", "Unload" and "Download" only with a slider. Then there was a red LED light per battery, which indicated that the battery has a contact. When was the battery is full? That was always the question. They held on to the 12-15 hours that were indicated on the battery. But over time, but enters the dreaded "memory effect" and a battery after another gives up the ghost.
But then came the revolution! I've bought a high-tech charger that has digital display and each battery individually controlled. Retrieved from "Varta"? No! Retrieved from "Techno Line", a me hitherto completely unknown company. So what could I expect? I did not know it. It was the model "Technoline BC 900 Battery Charger blue". And at this point the "Varta" batteries come into play.
Because these batteries are not only powerful and have in all cases more power than it is, no! This charger manages not only the batteries before to preserve the "memory effect", but to give the "Varta Professional" with every charging an ever higher performance !!! The "Varta NiMH battery AAA 1000 mAh 4-pack" now have a capacity of 1,100 mAh and even hold in my wireless headphones, with whom I hear every day 16 hours my TV, a whopping 3 days to be until it recharged. And with said charger that goes in exactly 1 Hour - incredible or ??? But every word is true, for I have put my hand in the fire. Even at the local "Varta Professional Mignon AA NiMH rechargeable battery 2700 mAh 4-pack" over-Trump Hung the capacity of around 100 mAh is achieved over time. But one need only one note: Insert each battery separately and, even if it appears to be empty, always only the "Unload" ("Discharge") mode set to "500". That's the whole secret !!!!
In this story you can see that the best batteries will go to the wrong charger also the drain. But the best batteries will learn with the best charger even an increase in output. For this reason I recommend to anyone who is looking for a new charger in conjunction with new batteries, only recommend the "Varta" and buying "Technoline BC 900". This is a team that makes your batteries far more usable and durable than the usual known 1,000 times recharging. I have the battery and said charger now for six months and can confirm from this long-term experience only, signed and sealed.
