4700 vs WizardOne  Mar 10, 2010
I own both the Lacrosse BC-700 and the Maha WizardOne chargers. Each has worked extremely well for me. The Wizard is larger and it spaces the batteries nicely for cooling and the lighted display, very bright and large, is all-informative. I don't mind that the display toggles between cells, rather than displaying the information on all cells at once. This is my main at-home charger. I keep the Lacrosse at work. More compact in size, the Lacrosse's unlit LCD display is also smaller than the Wizard's but it also is very informative. The BC-700 charges at 200, 500 and 700 Ma, while the Wizard can charge much faster if needed. Frankly, most of the time, I charge at a low 200 Ma on either the Lacrosse or the Wizard for the benefit of longer battery life. I can't complain about either charger. I enjoy having both. The Lacrosse is cheaper and a little more compact, but if you need faster charging (higher than 700 Ma) then the Wizard will fill the bill. Now, all this said, which one would I pick if I could own only one? A really tough choice, but it would be the Wizard.

5Great Product!  Mar 04, 2010
It's nice to see an actual number to let you know what the charge is. I can't say enough how great this product is and the options you have, yet its easy to use.

5Great Charger  Mar 04, 2010
I bought this charger based on the reviews to use with some Eneloop batteries. So far it has been a great item. I love the refresh feature and the fact that you can choose the charging voltage. It seems to do a very good job of maximizing the life of your batteries.

5best charger for the $...works great  Mar 01, 2010
I had a bag of old rechargeables and this restored them....it does take a couple of days to cycle through the "refresh mode" I simply would have 4 in at a time, and in the morning, one or two would be done, then the next morning another one or two would be done. I plan on using the batteries for substitutes while slow charging the eneloops.

I heard complaing about the interface....just insert battery and before it's channel quits flashing, press the mode button until you get the mode you want, then press the "current" button to select the current.

While it only goes up to 700 mah speed, if you are buying the new LSD batteries (like the eneloops) you shouldn't need a quick charger.....besides, the lowest setting of 200 is preferred anyway.

Overall-----get the new LSD batteries (eneloops or other pre-charged batteries) and this charger and you'll be set...also if you have old rechargeables that are dead, this thing can restore them----i did have to "jumpstart" some of the old energizer's to get them above .9 volts , but now they are at full capacity of 2500.



4hi-tech geek charger  Feb 25, 2010
Great price and great features. Cons are a bit complicated controls and low charge current. Default 200 mA isn't good, and even max 700 mA is not sufficient for fast and effective charge of Ni-MH batteries.
It's not true that slower charge is better, Ni-MH batteries like their charge current to be equal to their capacity.
