    Question on Maha MH-C204F

    Absolutely. With going to LSD like the Eneloops, you don't want to leave your batteries trickle charging for large period of time. Simply remove them once they are charged (about 4 to 5 hours for AA). Also, like any other NiMH, don't overdischarge them

    My new AAA energizers seem VERY finicky please help

    Try Shoppers Drug Mart for Duraloops. They are standard stock and usually on sale; they were $8.88 :faint: for a pack of four just after Christmas .

    Ok, hook me up with Eneloops and a charger...

    Duraloops are rebranded Eneloops; just remember that not all Duracell Pre-Charged are Duraloop. Only those with white tops made in Japan. Personally, I'd only buy Duraloops/Eneloops, as other LSD I have purchased in the past are not standing up to the test of time. My 2 year old ROV Hybrid...

    New C-9000 failure?

    Not sure if this has ever been reported before, but my older 0F model has a failed slot. I was charging some ROV AAA cells at 600ma, monitoring the charging process beause these cells had missed terminating properly on a newer 0H model. After about 5 minutes into the charge cycle, the first...

    Charging Eneloops in basic Energizer Charger

    You are more likely to shorten the battery life using lower currents due to overcharging caused by missed termination. Use at least 0.5C or above; Sanyo recommend 1C for Eneloops.

    Maha MH-C9000 SUPPORT / FAQ - continuation

    I have a dozen ROV AAA Hybrids, but I don't recall having difficulty seating them. I have had problems seating batteries in slot 3 on my older 0F model, but no issues with the newer 0H. Personally, I would just get ride of the AAA ROV Hybrids. I recently tested mine using the break-in mode...

    I have a choice......

    I used to have both; recently gave my BC-900 away to my brother as I no longer used it. I prefer the C-9000 for the following reasons: 1) better quality 2) better charging current selection (100 to 2000 ma in steps of 100) 3) better discharging current selection (100 to 1000 ma in steps of...

    MH-C9000 Termination Issues [ A "hot" discussion :P ]

    Fixing the termination problem would be nice, but I would still be disappointed unless they also change the charging electronics. I'm a strong believer that cell temperature as an adverse effect on the longevity of the cell, not charge current. At 2 amps, my C801D produced a lot less temperature...

    MH-C9000 wish list

    Or have a buttons like the 800x to detect AAA cells and default the capacity to 800 mha and the rate at 500 ma.

    MH-C9000 Termination Issues [ A "hot" discussion :P ]

    The C9000 is a great battery analyser, but it is not even a good charger! I've compared the outside cell temperature of a Powerex 2000 cells recharging at the same rate (1 amp) on the 801D, the BC900 and the C9000. The 801D's temperature peaked at 44 C for a few minutes, while the BC-900...

    Maha C9000 failure statistics, all users please post

    1) I've had the charger for a little more the a week (stuck in customs/shipping during the holidays). 2) Charge termination: definetly yes (charge mode @1000 and 2000 ma). Problems encountered with slot 2 and 3 only, as been prevously reported, when charging 4 cells. I was monitoring the...

    Charger Comparison

    I've actually did some test recently with the 801D, 204W, BC-900 and CHCAR1 (from Energizer). I was mostly looking at temperature during the charging cycle. The 801D won by a long shot (max out at 37deg C), the 204W came in second (max at 42 degC for about 2 minutes). The looser was the BC-900...
