zac08, are you recommending the Maha Powerex MH-C401FS charger?zac08 said:I would gladly endorse the Maha charger... It has individual charging circuits and there are 2 choices for a fast charge and a slow charge. I recommend using the slow charge for better battery lifespan.
But it has been mentioned many a times that the KONNOC does not fully charge the 2500 mAh batteries... Care to comment on this, Triton?Triton said:You can also try Konnoc... also has independent charging circuit so can support newer higher capacity batts. Has got individual batt guage and refresh function. However it doesn't have slow charging. Unlike the Maha (which is also a good charger), the power block is built into the unit so better for traveling. Sony has one model (BCG-34HRMD4 Super Quick Charger with LCD Indicator) that is fairly similar to it. I suspect Konnoc is the OEM.

Anyone selling La Crosse locally. Eastgear use to carry them, can't see it on their website now.wrx_sti_22b said:The expensive La Crosse charger charges the batteries quite cool... :thumbsup:
Triton, do you mean that the batteries' performance is about the same whether you charged it on KONNOC or MAHA? If the performance is the same, then there is not much point to get the MAHA as it is more expensive.Triton said:I have been using it and faced no problem so far.. No drastic drop in performance compared to my Maha. As for high heat, I feel that Maha at Fast mode is as hot as any other brands out there.
Just my 2 cts worth... no scientific testing - just real world user feedback.

xiaolanku said:Anyone using GP 15min charger? its charging current is at 7000mAh for AA batts hence charging at a very fast rate. It also comes with an inbuilt fan to cool batteries down.
As compared to Maha Powerex MH-C401FS, it only charges at 1000mAh at fast charge. Does the batt heats up alot?.
I was contemplating which of the above charger to purchase,
GP chargers - Current too high, reduces battery cycle life.
Maha Chargers - Charge till too high of a temp, reduces battery life.
Any comments of which to get?.:dunno:
