This charger seems well built and is nicely designed. I would reccomend this charger to anyone looking for a quality NiMh charger.
The included 2500mAh batteries hold a lot of juice, and seem to be built well.

This charger is expensive, but you get what you pay for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Has fan to keep the temperature down, April 5, 2005

manual says it charages 2500mAh AA batteries in 15 minutes. 25 minutes for the other listed batteries - 2300mAh AA, 2100mAh AA, 900mAh AAA, 800mAh AAA. Like the Duracell 30 min & Energizer 15 min chargers, the built in fan does help to keep the temperature down. More expensive than others, but rated for 2500mAh - probably be seeing more of these higher capacities in the future.

I use this charger for 6 months now. Works like a charm. Excellent quality, quick charger (batteries are really full after 15-30 min of charging). And the batteries coming with it are also very good quality and last for quite long. The only draw back with this charger: the power adaptor only support AC 100-120 V 50/60 Hz, meaning that it will not work in Europe. If you're planning on using it for a digital camera and you are traveling a lot, you might want to consider another option (although there are 240-120 V converters around).
