Hi!

I'm trying to decide what charger to get for my Eneloops, and I'm confused.



The BC-700 is cheap and recommended, but tops out at 700mA.

Eneloops are ~2Ah.

Proper charging of Eneloops should be 1C = 2A, right? All what I have read points that they should be charged at 1C, but definitely not below 0.5C



So BC-700 would charge them at 0.3C and it would take 3 hours and it would be bad for the batteries and could possibly miss the termination?



I could just get Maha c9000, but IIUC I have to set up the currents for every channel every time I put batteries to charge, which...could get old very fast.
