I charge other branded NiMH batteries with it? Like the Sanyo Eneloop?

(Or more since it can do 4? batteries at once)

What’s the model of this? I’d like to see how it price compares with the PowerEx C9000 or even the Battery Wizard that can recharge standard Alkaline batteries!

Oh, also, did you have to eat the battery? Were you thinking that the # of cycles would decrease the faster you charge it?

The? plugpack does not need to do 8.4A because of the internal DC-DC converter that generates a lower voltage at a higher current.

I would be surprised if you got anywhere near 500 cycles out of them.
