The scope of supply and the functions are very versatile and have often been mentioned here. Only the device has two major drawbacks that are self-evident, and should dominate every good brand charger.
- Despite alleged temperature control, but apparently only the device, the batteries are extremely hot! Even at the slightest selectable current of high 400mA, what a gentle charging of the battery, especially the AAA, is in itself too much already, it comes in the last third of the charge time to temperatures estimated at more than 60 degrees, hardly you can refer to ,
- This already is a further point of criticism, namely the very tight and little polschonende bracket. It has also been for the middle so little space for the fingers that only a prying with a screwdriver or similar is feasible.
- The unit has a very big problem with the battery detection. With me about 90% of my batteries were identified as defective and can not be loaded (Flashing 0000), which they are not natural. Among them are brand batteries and of course affordable products such as top-power. But a system I could not recognize it. Also here already described the landing with another device, which is not the intention, has brought nothing.
-The MAh display is arbitrary and can not be used as a charging indicator when inserted. A freshly charged was When reloading again shown with 0. After 15min came FULL on the display. I also showed them to just before the end of loading a AAA 850mAh about 1300mAh, which is not realistic in itself ... The TEST function lasts forever and can not be used as a quick recognition.
I had very scratched 2 devices with the same behavior, which is obvious These were the 2nd to a sold as new Retour device because the adhesive dots looked already opened, missing a reference list in comparison to the 1st packaging and the 12 volt plug of the power adapter was.
I am very disappointed by Ansmann and see myself now in order to another loader!
Update 09/02/2015: After a phone contact with Ansmann, as here already described several times, they offered me to test a device with the latest version of where the very much criticized poor recognition of batteries or sorting allegedly faulty battery has been resolved or mitigated ,
Since there is no indication of a different version on the device for me, I can only rely on the statement of the employee. There is no other distinguishing picture when you insert my batteries recognizable! The time 0000 flashing anzeigten which make again, but go to another processor charger tested an electronics provider to load. Because here another customer speaks in this context of an improvement, I'm a bit confused and know not to whom I believe ...
Unfortunately, the meaning of the Refresh function is for me then not entirely clear when the batteries are previously sorted out, which could be bolstered with a normally Freshen again. Pay a little more watching the thing ...
