I bought this charger and batteries to play with my new CD/MP3 player. When arriving home, I opened the box, read the instructions and decided "yes, fairly simple, I'll give it a go".
Let me note that there is a switch on this charger, and you can choose either Ni-Cd or Ni-Mh. Fairly simple to understand.
So, before plugging them in to charge, I put the switch to the correct side of the charger, and then plugged them in. A red light came on in the right slot, which also happened to be right next to the Ni-Cd, to indicate which side of the switch you choose. Just a coincidence, but I had to think for a moment that maybe it was charging Ni-Cd instead of Ni-Mh. I'm not sure how much of a wise design this is, but that was the only problem I have had with this charger.
The batteries themselves have a decent lifetime after a full charge, and I was able to listen to my CD/MP3 player for about 4 days, quite a lot of the time, and at full volume, before the batteries went flat. I was very happy with the life of the batteries.
The red light I mentioned earlier goes green at the end of the charge which is very handy for not overcharging your batteries.
These batteries cost me about £16.99 from Comet and they take 5 hours to charge.
I'd like to give this product 7 out of 10.

Sounds promising. I use an extremely old Uniross charger and although it and it's batteries are well past their better days, it still works. I think it may be time to replace it with one of these though! Love, Jai. xxx.
