As always, thanks for the great review!
I recently picked up this charger and so far it has worked great, however after I tried with 4 batteries, issues occured. After 4 hours I thought maybe I should check the temperature because they were all on yellow. One battery was too hot to touch, the other 3 were pretty warm as well. I measured the first battery (the left one) with a temp gun and it came out at 55c, the rest were about 50c. I then checked the Eneloop website, and they state that Eneloop (White) batteries can sometimes reach up to 50c when charging, so I aborted the charge as the first battery was close to 56c now. I'm somewhat reluctant to try again with this charger in fear of starting a fire lol. It has charged all my AAA batteries, some of my Fujitsu and Eneloop Pro's without a hitch, but I only charged 2 or 3 at a time. First time I tried with 4 batteries is where the 55c issue cropped up.
Not sure if this is an upgrade from the CC17 that I used previously if it will get batteries that high in temp. :huh:
