    How important is it to initalize lithiums??

    So I just got a device that uses a lithium battery. When I got it, I was so excited to try it out that I fired it up and began to use it. The battery showed a half charge but then pretty quickly went down about 25%. I then read in various forums that when you first get a product with a...

    What's the SAFEST NiMH charger?

    I have had a LaCrosse BC700 and it has performed flawlessly for me for years and I recommend it highly, but I would NEVER call LaCrosse an "expensive high tech product manufacturer". They are anything BUT that. They just sell inexpensive battery chargers, weather stations and clocks. One...

    AA Battery chargers any recommendations?

    Good choice. I have a BC700 as well and it has charged my Eneloops flawlessly for years. Highly recommended.

    which charger for AAA and AA batteries

    700mA is perfectly fine for AA Eneloops. Been using my 700 to charge Eneloops at 700mA for years now. Absolutely no problems whatsoever.

    Maha C9000 NLee the engineer Misleading review

    Well, Brian, I'm glad you feel better, but NLee is neither stupid or biased, nor has he stated non-existent problems. The FACT is, is that the C9000 IS more complicated to use than the LaCrosse BC-900/700 when the C9000 is taken out of it's default settings. With the LaCrosse chargers, you...

    Best AA Rechargeable Batteries and Charger

    Re: Best AA/AAA battery Charger? Maha, Lacrosse, etc... As of August 2012 Please post up the links to melting batteries and plastic fire in regards to the BC1000. As far as I know, there were issues such as these with the old BC-900 and BC9000 along with the early MH9000, but I have not...

    Advice sought for new AA/AAA charger

    I've been using the BC700 now for a few years. No complaints whatsoever. A bit more user friendly than the 9000 being that when you go out of default, you can make your settings globally, as well as being able to view the stats of all the batteries at once without having to scroll thru each...

    LaCrosse BC-900 vs LaCrosse BC-700

    I've been using the BC-700 with Eneloops for over a year now without EVER having a problem. When charging 2AA, I'll use 700ma. When charging 4AA, I'll drop it down to 500ma simply because the batts are spaced pretty close together and 500ma will generate less heat. When charging 2AAA, I'll use...

    Noob question: Lacrosse BC-7000 and AAA

    I assume that you mean the BC-700, eh? The batts should sit all the way to the back end (positive side) with the negative side sitting against the second set of pins (the little ones) in the front. Load the negative side first. It should look like this, minus the gray hair along the sides...

    Charging Eneloop batteries

    Re: Null display on bc 700 Here's something to consider. Don't let your batteries get that low. Continuing to run the batteries that low will shorten the lifespan of your batts, regardless what charger you use, so in this sense, the BC700 is doing you a favor by letting you know that you...
