La Crosse Technology RS700UK-BLI Universal Battery Charger

This is a compact and solidly built charger (RS700 LA Crosse £20). It has 3 charging speeds and built-in overheat detection. However I get the strong impression that the slower the charging the better i.e the faster the charge, the faster the batteries are going to start playing up not holding charge etc. What interests me is the refresh and test functions. Basically you set a battery (each compartment is individually controllable) to refresh and leave it for a few days. At very low current it discharges and charges and attempts to reset the battery to its optimum capacity. I shall update my comment to reflect how successful this was. The display is very clear and shows all the information you would want. All-in-all very pleased so far.

Very good charger and one of the few that seems to be sold in the UK Amazon store that will charge batteries individually (at least without charging you an arm and a leg *pun intended* :)I tested twelve new 1900mAh AA batteries from Fujitsu with it (which included a full discharge and recharge cycle) and the same number again of the Amazon Basics 800mAh AAA's and it did a stirling job with them despite being required to work almost non-stop through six sets of batteries.I have not tried mixed sets of recharges though and it's early days but so far I am very happy with this charger - particularly the individual charging (the batteries tested all had different actual capacities and charge times) and the ability to slow charge for maximum rechargeable battery lifetime.

After reading lot of reviews and deciding which battery charger to go for, I took a chance with this one. Very happy with it! This is the best you can get if you ask me, lot of functions easy tu use and not highly overpriced! I would reccomend this product! La Crosse Technology RS700UK-BLI Universal Battery Charger

Agree with others. A little difficult to remove batteries with my large fingers.Otherwise excellent.

Very good. 2 years now and i still like it

very nice charger.

Good little charger . does a great job with charging. Brings bad rechargeable batteries back to life. Good Buy Good Price.

Used the charger 2 or 3 times and today it was overheating and the display was totally dead. Total rubbish!
