I try to explain. Normally, if one does not want to research enough, one assumes that prices convey the information about the quality of a product. Of course it is not always so, indeed companies exploit the statement above sometimes, but in general one could trim many of the "cheap but poor" choices using the price.

It does not work always, but it helps.

Quote:Actually I have been recommending the BC700 here for years. You will even find posts in the old forum. The reason for this recommendation is the BC700 being a true processor-controlled charger with many useful functions – that you do not have to use if you do not want to. Without any manual setting it defaults to a charging current of 200 mA which is just fine for AAA NiMHs with their 800...1200 mAh capacity. Fast enough for convenience and safe end-of-charge detection, and slow enough for long battery life.

Thanks for the additional info.
