I'm happy with my Voltcraft IPC-1L, bought it at Conrad.nl for about 25 euro, it has all the splendid functions mentioned before, I use it group my batteries in sets with the same capacity. Greetz, jos On 12-12-2010 4:35, Eric Weir wrote: On Dec 11, 2010, at 6:14 AM, Eric Featherstone wrote:

I'd suggest taking a look at whatever Thomas Distributing are selling this week at a good prace - LaCrosse, MAHA, etc. I've been using a MH-C401FS as well; it's worked flawlessly for the last eight or more years (since before I bought my *ist-D), keeping my aging stock of rechargeables working
