- La Crosse Technology BC-700 Alpha Power Battery Charger
Best charger I owned! Brought back to life "dead" batteries that other charges gave up. Recommended it to friends at work and they are happy too with this charger. I use it regularly to recharge AA and AAA cells from various manufacturers. I use discharge/charge mode and charge/test mode often. Left the charger on overnight and it doesn't overheat or fry batteries. It changes to trickle charge as soon as charging is completed. Love it!

I only have one gripe about this product, the picture shows a nice compact looking charger, what they don't show is the bulky power plug which contains the transformer.

I put them in this and used refresh mode and all but two were restored to near-original capacity. It takes a few days, but refresh mode is worth it.
I was having to change out the batteries from my wireless mouse and xbox 360 controller every other day, now it's been a few weeks and the controller batteries are still 3/4 ... Read More
Rating: - The BEST AA recharging unit out there!
An earlier reviewer mentioned that this will "only" charge up to a rate of 700Ma.For those of you who might be uninformed about "rapid" charging units, 700 Milliamp rate is more than adequate, unless you need your batteries immediately, if not sooner!!I charge my Eneloop batteries at a rate of ONLY 200 ma.Yes, it does take over 10 hours at times (when the batteries are near totally depleated), but your batteries will last more than twice as long (before throwing them away) if you charge at the ...
