Not your average charger this - look after all your rechargeable batteries properly (Li-ion and Ni-MH) at a low cost for this type of charger. Unusually, handles C and D cells as well as AA and AA + various others.

Do they do a socket version?, would prefer to leave it plugged in the wall - no leads.

That looks great. Just what I was looking for. Thanks

Not with the same specifications, unfortunately. You could, of course, leave this plugged into the wall via a USB wall charger, which is what I'm planning to do.

Wow. Now that's what I call a review. Might have to grab one. Is there anything else I should be cooling at in the similar price bracket ? I know there are a few folks on here that really know there stuff about these things

If you want something else look at Nitecore but they're regarded more low end to these.

Just leave it plugged into a USB outlet. Alternitively look into the Nitecore series. The same price but socketed.

I got this the other day and can honestly say one of the best chargers I've bought. Universal and charges the obscure batteries like 18650 (my main reason for getting it). And the display seems accurate enough, allows you to see exactly what is going in.

Best price around too.

Thanks for the comments...happy if you think this is a good charger...have done a flubit on it (instant offer was £22.20) but if it doesn't come back much better than that ill just order direct from Amazon

good little video review on Amazon here

6th Feb 2016

Flubit came back with £20.21. Purchased. Thanks OP and others for info.

If only it also did NiZn Batteries - Want to try these as they are 1.6v.
Is there a charger out there that does the lot ?

8th Feb 2016

Received this today - and it's as impressive as the reviews say it is. Solidly built, with a quality feel to it. I bought it mainly because it's the only fully intelligent charger on the market (so far as I can see) that can cope with AA, AAA, C and D cells (both Li-ion and NiMh) at anything like this price. In fact, I can't find one at any price!

Works well, too.

If only needing to charge NiMh AA and AAA just bought a re-badged BT-C2000 for £16.50 on a best bid on Ebay...

I have this -it is superb - I'd bought a load of eneloops and thought it's high time I had a decent smart charger. Plus I also need to charge 18650 and RCR123 batteries so this is ideal - well worth the small outlay.
