I have a La Crosse BC900 charger that I have used for years and it has treated my Eneloops well. I thought I was treating my batteries best by charging them at the default 200ma rate of the BC900. A few months ago I read somewhere on this forum that the La Crosse chargers sometimes fail to determine "Full" at 200ma and 500ma was a safer rate to charge at. That post and a increased use of rechargeable AA's has caused me to start charging at the 500ma rate. I'm now charging AA's at least four times more frequently than before and can no longer just put the batteries in the BC900 and patiently wait for them at the default 200ma rate. Since I'm now charging at the 500ma rate I have to change the current rate and have found my patience tested. Sometimes (infrequently) I can put the first AA in then hit the current button to change to 500 then do the same with the other three. Most of the time I have a battle trying to change the charge rate of the last three batteries. I know that the charge rate of all the batteries is limited to what the first battery is set at. I can usually change the charge rate of the first battery to 500 by putting the battery in then hitting the button for that cell and while flashing hit the current button to go to 500. For the other three batteries I try to change the charge rate for each battery by hitting the cell button and increasing to 500 for all three batteries. This is very frustrating and usually takes 20+ minutes and involves pulling all four batteries out and restarting multiple times. Another method with the other three batteries is to put them in then hit one of the cells button and change all three cells to 500 at one time, this seems to be more successful. I can not seem to find a way to do this simply without trying my patience. Is there a better way to set all four batteries to 500ma? Am I missing something? Or is my charger defective? I would really like to keep using this La Crosse charger since it has treated my batteries well for years but my patience is wearing thin.
