The LaCrosse BC-700 is now available. The only difference from it's predecessor, the BC-900, is lower charging rates and a different color.

Agreed, when charging 2700 mAh cells @ 700 mA, you're only charging at .26C . . .I note the default charge rate is 200mAh. That presumes a lot of confidence in their optimum charge detection and termination processes.
It will be interesting to see how it does in the real world...
Same here. I also never use the 200mA setting -- my patience is limited. No problems at all with 500 or 700 mA.I never had any meltdown issues with my BC-900 and still use it several times a week. I never charge at rates higher than 700ma, so that could explain my success with this charger.
+1 more. I've used my BC-900 for a year now. At least a few times a week. Only use 500/700. I did use 1000 for a set of 2650 Duracells the other day. No problems.Same here. I also never use the 200mA setting -- my patience is limited. No problems at all with 500 or 700 mA.
