Best Battery Charger ?

Must say I have the powerex mh-c9000 wizardone and it's great ,it's not cheap but I can't fault it for charging batteries .You may need a bit of time to get use to it because you can set it to do so much ie 19 charge settings ,10 discharge ,refresh and analyze ,break-in new batteries ,cycle charge and discharge !!!!!!!! But you'll get more life out of your batteries

Don't waste your money on a cheap charger - it will cost you a lot more in the long run.

Don't agree as stated earlier with small electrical appliances like chargers.
Rechargeable batteries are now so cheap, The supposed slight extra life you may get from using them in a highly intelligent charger as opposed to a basic intelligent charger can't be anything more than minimal.
I do agree not buying an intelligent one is a false economy and you may overcharge your batteries which certainly will reduce their life

I have some 7 day shop 2900mah rechargeables and their life between charges is excellent and at around £5 for 4 they are good value as is the V charger I linked to

I've used 7 Day shop's own brand since they started offering them - which must be a decade ago, at least. But my recent experience of them has been poor, particularly with the higher mAh varieties. The fact that you have found otherwise suggests there may be problems with quality control, which wouldn't be surprising at such low prices.

I had one of their V chargers too and replaced it. As they say YMMV.

Hmm maybe - have bought 4 or 5 different batches over the past 18 months or so and touch wood no problems so far

i had a problems with a camera battery charger that broke (pins in plug) and they replaced without quibble

I agree on both counts.

I have used 7DS batteries for years, but haven't been impressed with some recent batteries I had bought which wouldn't hold a decent charge (about 2/3rds).

I also agree that their service is good though, and have had to replace things in the past - all went very smoothly.
