Product Description
The MH-C800S features eight independent slots that can charge one to eight AA or AAA batteries in any combination around one to two hours - it's like having eight chargers! The unit also incorporates a large LCD screen featuring the charging status of each battery. This new charger uses the same precision microprocessor as its professional sister model MH-C801D.
The user can choose between a soft and a fast charge mode. The soft charge delivers the highest battery life and allows 100% compatibility with older, lower capacity batteries. The fast charge allows eight batteries to be fully charged to their maximum capacity in as little as one to two hours.
The Eight Cell charger is embedded with a high-rate battery conditioner that will charge, deep-discharge and recharge batteries automatically for maximum performance. The cycle restores the batteries to their optimal performance level minimizing the memory effect. Batteries that were previously thought ready for the recycle bin can be brought back to life.
The MH-C800S can be used anywhere around the world using the included switching AC power supply, perfect for home, office and travel.

| 72 of 73 people found the following review helpful  Very good but not perfect..., By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Powerex MH-C800S Eight Cell Smart Charger (Electronics) I also own the LaCrosse BC-900 charger, and am glad that I own both; each has its own benefits.Either charger is very good because: - They charge each cell individually, rather than in pairs, resulting in the best possible charge for each one. - They offer different charging rates, so as often as you are able, you can slow-charge the batteries to ensure they last longer, but you can still quick-charge when you must. The PowerEx charger is better in that: - It handles eight cells, not just four. - A major advantage they didn't advertise, as far as I saw: it pulse-charges the batteries. Pulse-charging noticeably improves each battery's total charge capacity, in both mAh and voltage... even when you switch to another charger later on, the battery is the better for having been pulse-charged. LaCrosse doesn't do this. The PowerEx misses on these fronts: - It false-peaks a little more often than does...

I have an outdoor walkway solar lighting system that requires 24 rechargeable AA batteries. Since I swap these out with 24 other rechargeable batteries fairly often, I really needed this product.You can charge one battery or eight batteries or any number in between, and they can be a combination of AA or AAA NiCAD or NiMH batteries -- no other type (but there is no worry about where they are placed in the charger or in what order). The Powerex gives you 3 modes of charge: Rapid, Soft and Conditioning (refresh). Its default setting is Rapid (just put in the batteries -- there is nothing further to do). If you want to Soft charge, place just one battery in and push the button on the right within 5 seconds (release the button when you see "soft charging" printed in the window), then add the rest of your batteries --...

The default rate is "rapid mode" which is the 1000 mAH rate. Personally I would prefer the default mode to be the slower charge rate. The instructions don't tell you that the "condition" mode is actually done using the higher maH charge of 1000 mAH. I had at least two AAA batteries vent while conditioning them since I thought the condition mode would be done using the lower 500 mAH charge rate. You can actually condition batteries at the lower 500 mAH rate by inserting one battery and pressing BOTH the condition and soft charge buttons. Highly recommended for AAA that are rated under 1000 mAH to keep from frying them with the higher charge rate. It would be really nice if the instructions told you about this option. |
