Pros: This is a great battery charger. No fuss, just charges your battery!
It has LED indicators to show when the battery is being charged.
It also works with batteries my old charger wouldn't accept, which is the main reason that I bought it. No problems at all.
It's a four-channel charger, which means you can also charge only one battery at a time. A real pro; many of the conventional chargers here don't do that!
And finally: it has a European plug. Yay!

Cons: None for now

Bottomline: Really usefull, direct, doesn´t have LCD´s to show percentages, etc. Just one led for each battery, and that´s sufficient.

Ownership verified by DX Perfect charger!

Pros: Excellent charger. Has LED indicators showing when the battery is charging, or when it was finished charging. Fast charging, without being too fast as those chargers reduce your battery life.

Cons: Only problem is the power cable is a Europe plug - you need a converter for UK / US. Alternatively, the cable is a fairly generic one so if you wanted you could just buy a proper cable from a computer shop. Being an Aussie living in the UK though, I'm already used to having converters everywhere :)

Other Thoughts: The indicator showing when the batteries are fully charged is great - and I suppose an indicator that it does not overcharge the batteries

Bottomline: The best charger I have owned - Fast and good indicators, easy to use - and the cheapest too.

Ownership verified by DX Good four channel charger

Pros: There are not that many four individual channel chargers out there. Many battery powered toys and some other items now either use 1x or 3x AA batteries which is a pain if you only have a standard 2x or 4x charger. You are always hunting around trying to find an extra (discharged) AA cell, to fill the extra slot. Not to mention the fact that you can have major problems if you start mixing different capacity or brand cells. This charger will charge 1, 2, 3 or 4 AA cells individually.
Has a simple red/blue led for each channel. The led is Red for fast charge mode and blue for charged/trickle charge mode. Operates OK on 240v in Australia, however you will have to cut the mains plug off and fit a local version, or replace the power lead with an Australian version.

Cons: Would have been nice to have a 12v input for the car. Batteries and charger do tend to get fairly warm (hot?) during the fast charge process. This may be a problem in hot climates - >40 degrees C in an Aussie summer!! The temperature drops back to ambient when in trickle mode.

Other Thoughts: Didn't notice sku.6152 before I ordered this one. Sku.6152 does seem to offer more features for a little more money. It has an LCD display and a discharge mode which may be useful. I may have purchased the more expensive version if I had noticed it, but at the moment I am happy with this 'basic' version. Maybe it is better to stick with the K.I.S.S principle anyway! Less to go wrong with this one?
If you really want a top notch charger/analyser, buy the MAHA9000 for ~$100!

Bottomline: Good four channel AA charger!
Cheap!
Works as advertised.
