Jun 8, 2012 - I own a variety of NiMH batteries and chargers (both the fast (ie. Just follow the Charger Manufacturer's instructions for how long to. MA batteries and they never would work with my digital camera, so I gave up on them.

Andy - if you want a GOOD charger you've got to be prepared generally to pay for it. My advice is steer clear of the type (such as the Uniross) that charge a 2000mA batt set in an hour or so. Betcha you'll find when you pull the batteries out they're quite warm - that's simply because ANY overcharge can only be dissipated by the batteries giving off heat. A GOOD charger will be controlled (microprocessot type the best) so that yoiu get a regulated charge and one that literally measures the current flow to the correct level then cuts off - AND does it in a slow time if it needs to. If you don't mind the price (but you ARE getting a virtual lifetime charger of quality) then I would recommend you consider the ANSMAN microprocessed controlled - called ANSMAN Traveller because it comes with about 3 different adaptors to use in any country, not only UK type sockets.
It's dear at about £55 and very few sellers (probably because most just buy a charger and couldn't care about quality ) One seller is - (excellent firm). Another I saw advertised just about a week ago but cannot for the life of me recall who or where.except it was something like '.Batteries' - maybe somebody knows who I mean and can refresh my mind. But PLEASE - do not buy a cheapie. Next best and a VERY good buy (I use one and it's been excellent ) is the VANSON V-1268N. It's controlled (definitely, although it doesn't say it as microprocessor). Each cell is charged individually with a red LED for each (you can do any number, not just pairs or 4) and it will do a discharge first if you wish.all for around £15.and that IS worth a look if you don't want to go to upper limits EJN Andy Troup wrote: This seems to be a reoccuring theme, but how good is the Uniross charger?

Does anyone know which is the best for your 'gawd bless you ma'am' pound?? Cheers, Andy.

Cheers, Andy Andy, If you're referring to the model AAB01690 fast-charger, then I can say that it seems to work well. Charges 4x1800mAh batteries in under 2 hours. However, the 'fast-charger' that I use most of the time is the Vanson Ultra-Fast Model V-1000 (bought in Maplins). This smartcharger also charges 2 or 4 batteries (Ni-MH or Ni-Cd); 4 batteries in under 2 hours.
Are the batteries hot at the end of the charge? Are the batteries damaged? No sign of it yet.
Some people will tell you that it shortens the life of the batteries. But by how much? Batteries that I've been 'fast-charging' for the last 2 or 3 years are still going strong. Some people will recomend using a slow charger that takes up to 10+ hours. For me, life's too short. I'd rather be out taking pics than waiting for batteries to recharge regards.
PS the Fuji fast-charger is quite good. But quite expensive. I have used uniross rapid chargers and batteries and am very happy. Great life and fast charge, never seems to have a problem with overcharging.
I got it from a power ebayer, email me if you want his ebay shop or website. Jake7 wrote: Andy Troup wrote: This seems to be a reoccuring theme, but how good is the Uniross charger?
