Good day to all. I've been looking at more of the chargers available from WalMart and London Drugs and have simply added to my list below. Hopefully this may be of use to others. My results so far: Kodak K4000: single pair of series-connected cells. Works VERY well! Energiser CHDC7: 2 sets of series-connected cells (4 cells total). Appears to be a decent charger but does not like the cells I'm trying to charge: the charger goes into error mode shortly after connecting the pair of 1450 mAHr cells. Energiser CHCAR1: 2 sets of series-connected cells (4 cells total). Funky arrangement where the 2nd set of cells is automatically connected in series with the 1st set if the charger detects that 4 cells are inserted. Not ideal for my application because it requires that the a single pair of cells be located into the first channel and I can't count on the customer to do that. However, it does appear to monitor charge on each pair of cells and terminates charge to either pair that is fully charged while maintaining charge to the other pair. Charge indicator goes OFF only when both pairs are fully charged. NEXcell NC-50FC: 4 individual cells. Not suitable for my purposes. I think its the nicest charger I've seen, though. 4 separate smps supplies: one for each channel. Two blinking bi-color LEDs are a pain to read - way too many messages on only 2 LEDs. Also has a discharge circuit (followed by automatic recharge) for conditioning balky NiCad cells. Sanyo NC-MQH01U: 4 individual cells. Not suitable for my purposes. Also not very consumer-friendly - one has to pay attention to where the cells are inserted because cell location changes charger functionality. Rayovac PS16: 4 individual cells. Not suitable for my purposes. Another one of those funky switched-cell chargers: they have FETs controlling the individual cells and appear to multiplex a single charger circuit between all 4 positions. Might actually be a decent charger - I plan to look at them further once this project is out of the way. CP2550 / CH-3930: Switch-selectable 2 or 4 NiMh cells. Switch simply puts the extra pair of cells in series with the first pair but unit does not check for charge difference between pairs. Suitable only of the 4 cells are used in the same device - thus: not suitable for my purposes. The following chargers fall into the "Truly Awful" category: Ultralast V-99B: timed charge only. Didn't look any further. Rayovac PS13: timed charge only. At least this one has current limit (some of the others don't!). Energiser CHVC2 / CHVCWB2: another truly awful charger. Simple transformer / diode / resistor charger. Does not even have a timer for ending charge. Avoid! The recent discussion on battery charges has prompted this question: does anyone know of an easily or readily available (in Canada) NiMh charger suitable for charging 1 or 2 pairs of series-connected 1450 mAHr cells? I'm at the tail end of finishing up a project which uses 2 series-connected prismatic 1450 mAHr cells permanently mounted inside the project enclosure. Two battery connections are brought out for charging the pair of cells. I need to charge 1 or more of these units at the same time: a charger that supports simultaneous charging of independent pairs of cells is preferred. I've been trying off-the-shelf chargers from the local superstores (Walmart, London Drugs, Staples, etc) without much luck. There are some truly awful chargers out there, people!
