The Konnoc KCR-A099 seems a lot like Sony BCG-34HRM or Soshine SC-C3.
I opened my KCR-A099 and the circuit board is not the same, so these are three different designs.
Soshine and Konnoc circuit boards have "Shenzen" on them, referring to Shenzhen Konnoc Charger Industrial Co.
UnknownVT has done some testing with the Soshine SC-03, it can be found in
here. :goodjob:
The results and the functions are very similar to those what I get from testing the KCR-A099.
Heres some info about the KCR-A099.

Product Specifications and test methology of Konnoc KCR-A099 1 Hour LCD charger
Prepared by Grant David of Konnoc.
1 Product Features
1.1 Application Range
Suitable for 1~4 pieces of AA / AAA Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries
1.2 Microprocessor Controlled
1.2.1 –Delta v cut off
The charger stops charging once the microprocessor detects the batteries are fully charged.
1.2.2 Timer Protection
For safety use, charging termination is also controlled by timer.
1.2.3 Defective and Non-rechargeable battery detection
Safety Protection for using the charger if you attempt to charge defective or non-rechargeable batteries, If you charge non-rechargeable and rechargeable together, detection may not work properly.
Charging rechargeable alkaline batteries may result in battery leakage.
1.3 Other protections
1.3.1 Reverse Polarity Protection
Protects the charger and batteries against incorrectly installing batteries.
1.3.2 Over Current Protection
Maintains constant charging current during the charging cycle.
1.3.3 Over Temperature Protection
Protects the batteries from being damaged by overheating, the charging will automatically terminate when the temperature of charger or battery reach to 65oC + 5oC.
1.4 Low Battery Leakage Current
If the battery charger is not connected to AC power and the batteries are left in the charger, the charger will discharge the batteries in a certain amount of current.
1.5 Trickle Charge After Full Charge
After batteries are fully charged, there will still be a small pulse charge current applying to batteries.
1.6 Refresh function
The charger has the pre-discharge function, when the battery is discharged to 1.0V, the charger can automatically switch to charging status to charge the battery.
1.7 Individual LCD display the Charging process
The grid of battery figures rolling in charge status indicates the battery is CHARGING correspondingly. If the battery has been charged for 50% nominal capacity, the first grid will stop rolling; If been charged for 75% nominal capacity, the second grid will also stop rolling; and If been fully charged , the third grid will stop rolling and display full power and end charging.
If you need to pre-discharge the battery, switch to discharge status, the LCD will display the battery is in refresh process, after the battery discharge to 1.0V, the charger can automatic switch to charging.
1.8 LED Indicator
LED ON indicates the charger has been connected correctly.
LED Flashing indicates WARNING of
※Defective batteries
※Short circuit
※Non-rechargeable batteries
2 Electrical Performance and Technical Parameter
2.1 Input
100~240V AC 50/60Hz 10W
2.2 Charging Currents
950~1050mA
2.3 Charging Voltages
1.4V DC For individual charge
2.4 Battery Leakage Current

2.5 High-Voltage Shock Test
Method: Connecting high voltages 3000VAC for 1 minute between input and output terminals.
Requirement: Current leakage between input/output must be less than 10mA, and the unit should still work as normal.
3 Mechanical Tests and Requirements
3.1 Drop test
Drop from 3 feet height onto an oak board of 10 mm thick. The test shall be carried out 3 times respectively in 3 different surfaces of the case.
Requirement: The charger should still meet High-Voltage Shock Test.
3.2 Bending test (Electrical cord)
Loading: The plug and S/R should withstand weight of 200 gram.
Cycles: Swing 120o left to right for1000 cycles.
Speed: 20 cycles/min.
