    Re: SkyRC — IFA 2014 / CES 2016 — MC3000 charger-analyzer I successfully updated to FW 1.14 too. My procedure was to unzip MC3000_Firmware_Update_V1.14.rar and follow the readme.txt. In essence if you try to follow the upgrade procedure in the original (FW V1.13) manual then MC3000 Monitor...

    Test/review of Charger Panasonic BQ-CC65

    ## Possibly the best beginner charger HKJ, this is a great review (as usual). I particularly like that you've thrown a good range of batteries at it: Standard AA, Standard AAA, Pro AA, and an old battery (a powerex). That both: gives the charger a good shake to see if will break; and helps...

    Eneloop charger criteria

    Thanks all for the great responses. Wall of text @ChrisGarrett. For someone to write a post that counts as "a wall of text" is a serious foul in internet terms. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wall%20of%20text Given my extensive use of paragraphs, and spacing, I don't think...

    Eneloop charger criteria

    Intro What criteria should we be using to regard an Eneloop charger as one that "works well"? In other words, what features would an eneloop charger need for it to not count as "flawed"? I'd appreciate any help to answer that question (however we frame it). What follows is my current answer...
