As the thread title states, post your charger make, model and what you like or dislike about it.....
I am looking at purchasing one soon and have been doing extensive research on reviews for the various brands out there like, Maha, La Crosse, Ambient Weather, Opus, etc...
During my research I came across this forum:
CandlePowerForums
This guys are all about anything battery related, just like we are all about anything radio related. With that said, there is some pretty good info on batteries and chargers there. The guys there seem extremely knowledgeable and thus seem to know what they are talking about.
However, I still feel I need feedback from fellow scanner hobbyists you can relate to my/our needs. So let me know what you got and why it's great for you.
Personally from my review/research I have decided to rank my potential purchase choices as follows for 4 cells smart chargers:
1. Ambient Weather BC-2000 - Ambient Weather BC-2000 Intelligent Battery Charger for AA / AAA Rechargeable Batteries
2. Maha MH-C9000 - MH-C9000 - Maha Energy
3. La Crosse BC 1000 (700 would work too) - BC1000 by La Crosse Technology - Tomorrow's Weather Today
4. Opus BT-C2000 - http://www.amazon.com/BT-C2000-charger-set-100-240V-Battery-Analyzer-Portable/dp/B00JL3XL2G (Could not find this manufacturer's website, which makes me wonder if they have any customer support)
FYI....I purposely posted links to the actual manufacturers, so as to enable folks to see the company's profile and or customer support mechanisms. Which to me at least helps me decide whether I want to invest in a company's product.
Looking forward to what you guys have to say!
