I came across this Sanyo 30-minute charger here, and they mention its capability to charge Sanyo 2300mAH cells in just 30 minutes. I have a large investment in Sanyo cells, too.
It sounds pretty impressive. 4.6 amps per cell charging current - wow! Not quite the Rayovac 15-minute system, but this leverages my current investment in cells (all 24 of them) because otherwise I'd have to purchase ROV IC3 cells and it could add up quick.
They say it has a 15-minute charge function that runs exactly 15 minutes, but I suspect that they terminate the charge at 15 minutes, which will 'top up' the cells to 50% or thereabouts so that you have at least some power to start using straight away. It doesn't accelerate it any further. Good for half-drained cells, though.
How does this stack up against our 'gold reference standard' of the Maha C401FS? I only own the C777Plus2.
