[h=2]I just bought this beauty of a Panasonic BQ-CC65 'Smart' charger as new. One question please : Is it normal for a charger to make a tiny ticking sound to start with? With time it starts going into a zzzzzzzz zzzzzzzz type of intermittent, regular sounds. This is irrespective of the battery AA or AAA, charged or not, new or old.
Is the sound normal or a sign of a poor quality model? I also noticed that the older and poorer quality batteries can get heated to almost 60 degrees C but then the charger showed the 'wrench' and started cooling off soon after and I think this is more reflective of the poor battery quality and a plus for the charger. Otherwise the charger works perfectly fine. Many thanks for the advice on the sounds [/h]
