The best charger I have used, October 7, 2010
This review is from: AccuManager 20 (Electronics)
I have used it to charge different sizes and types of batteries at the same time. Using this charger, I am over 10 years on some of my rechargables, I can bring back batteries that have set for years in toys. If you put the battery in and the light doesn't blink, unplug the adapter from the charger and plug it back in. After one-four times of doing this, I can almost always bring a battery back. I have lost two out of almost 200 batteries in 10 years. I have two of these and leave them with batteries in them all the time.

Beware of Sundance Solar Fulfillment by Amazon, January 26, 2011
This review is from: AccuManager 20 (Electronics)
This was the second NiMh battery charger I purchased via Amazon in the past 2 months, the first was the Ansmann Energy 8 Charger, and then the AccuPower. In both cases I was sent an either defective and/or used, but sold as NEW. I have good reason to believe that Sundance Solar sent me a "Display Model" of the AccuPower and/or returned one because the packaging was obviously "repackaged", finger prints, and the AC adapter was not the same shape as was pictured on every site I saw that carried the product. In both cases I returned the chargers and Amazon is the very best when it comes to returns, which is the primary reason I come back for more punishment...LOL
The problem with both chargers was the overheating of some batteries, which the "Smart Charging" technologies are suppose to prevent. When I charge batteries I always keep a small fan blowing on the charger at all times because I have found this keeps things "cool" and when one becomes "warm-to-hot", then you know for sure it is the charger.
Now I am ordering the C Crane QC2 Quick Charger-2, which is the exact same product as the Tenergy T9688, but under the Crane name it is a few dollars cheaper.
I do wish that Amazon would do a better job at the quality control end of their prime sellers to prevent these situations to begin with. By the way; if you do order this and get the one I returned; you will know it if you look through the manual as i used a tiny little piece of post-it in the middle to let the recipient know this was found defective and used. I put an obvious note inside the charger; knowing that Sundance Solar would quickly discover that and not look for the real note. May i recommend that everyone begin doing this so we can all be assured we are getting what we were promised. God bless all of you.

Great little battery charger, February 8, 2008
This is a great little battery charger. It charges AA, C, D and 9 volt batteries. I plug the lighter plug into a socket that is powered by my 12 volt solar panel on the roof of my house. It is used to charge all sorts of batteries for flash lights, remote thermometers and clocks, even the batteries for my Harris Dracon butt set, COIL tone generator, Progressive Tone Tracking Wand, and my cat 5 cable tester that I use at work.
