The Sony is a timer-based. As for the Casio, haven't got my answers yet.

Read from other forums of ways to differentiate between time based chargers and intelligent ones...
1) Look @ specs : If u see delta v detection, then its intelligent. 2) Completely charge a set of batteries. Remove batteries & switch off charger. Place the same set of batteries back in and switch charger back on. Monitor the charge cycle. If charger cuts off charging in a while (like 10-15 mins i think), then its a smart charger. Else, its likely a time based charger. |

Sony 1 hr charger is not just timer based. I tried recharging a fully charged set of batteries. It switched itself off after 5 mins.

I'm afraid not, GP Rapid takes 270 mins to recharge 4 pcs of 1600mAh AA batteries. Listing in an increasing order of charging time for 4pcs of AA batteries for intelligent chargers, we have:
Royovac 1hr/GP SMART Powerbank Compact Intelligent Charger Casio BC-3A (according to info provided by user) Olympus BU-100/Sony 1hr charger GP Powerbank Rapid Intelligent Charger

Looks like going by actual performance, the Compact Intelli-Charger seems to be the best bang for the bucks. The money saved can buy some Sanyo 1700mah batteries which I believe maybe better (in terms of actual capacity) then the GP1800. BTW, what's the Intelligent Charger at the end of the list stands for? Is there such a brand?

slimey I was replying to the first post. GP Rapid is an intelligent charger. Not refering to the charging time.
