I use a LaCrosse BC 900 charger. Is it possible or advisable to remove any batteries which have finished charging and replace them with batteries needing a charge?

Example: charging 4 batteries; two indicate full. Can I remove them and put in 2 other batteries to charge?

Thanks.

Yes, you can. Keep in mind however, that you will need to press the slot button for each "new" cell you insert, and then set the charging parameters for said cell. Otherwise, I believe it will charge the cell(s) at the default 200mA.

There's also the restriction on the MAX Charge Rate (limited to the highest Charge Rate previous chosen when initially loading and programming the charger).

More details can be found in:

Method #2 is what the OP is attempting.
