Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The CH4 NiMH/NiCd battery charger can fully charge up to five different sizes of batteries. AA, AAA, C or D size batteries charge in only five (5) hours and 9V batteries charge in 14-16 hours.

The CH4 charger can charge:

• Two or four AA, AAA, C or D size batteries
• One or two 9V batteries

The charging is controlled by a Microprocessor and automatically selects the charge current for different types of batteries. When charging AA, AAA, C or D size batteries, a RED LED illuminates and when the charging is complete the LED turns GREEN. When charging AA, AAA, C or D batteries, charging will terminate on either –dV (-5mV/cell) or time (8 – 8.5 hours). When charging 9V batteries the RED LED remains on continuously. If there is a short circuit, bad battery or alkaline battery in the charger, the LED will flash and will not provide a charging current. Dimensions: 8.00in x 4.61in x 2.59in [203.3mm x 117.0mm x 65.7mm].

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Battery Charger, July 21, 2002

This review is from: Millenium CH4 5-Hours Universal Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery Charger (Electronics)

This thing does it all, does the dishes,cleans the toliet, vacums the carpet AND charges the batteries! No more burning the batteries with this little gizmo.It has a processor on board that is smart enough to know when enough is enough so it will stop charging when it needs to, red light(charging)-green light(finished). You don't need to check the charging time anymore. You can leave the batteries in the charger until you need to use them, always have freshly topped off batteries ready when you are. This charger will do 8-AA's, 2-9volt, 4-C's or 4-D's, but can't do all of them at one time. It CAN do the 8-AA's at one time!!! This is a GREAT charger!

Unlike most other rechargers this one charges batteries to the correct voltage then stops, not just on a timer.
I think it's great.

5.0 out of 5 stars The 5 hr charge makes it worth while, June 15, 2001

This review is from: Millenium CH4 5-Hours Universal Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery Charger (Electronics)

The fact is charges in five hours makes it a keeper. Here in California where we have rolling blackouts and live with the constant threat of earthquakes having reliable charged batteries in varies sizes is a must. And a charger that handles various size batteries and not just one size is a must. Personally I believe in owning two and keeping them full of batteries that are charged and rotated in various appliances weekly.
