I've stopped using my other chargers altogether now. The soft-charge feature is great for not overheating the batteries and the individual charging is just great for better performance.
My only issue is with the power cable connecting to the charger being of a non-standard type - at least non that I know of. If that thing breaks (it has pins, it might break easily), it would be hard to replace.

Reliable and Versatile

I picked this up to add more capacity to my charing of speedlite batteries. I have an EBL 12-cell charger and a La Crosse 4-cell smart charger. The EBL is brute force quick charge, while the La Crosse has Smart low-current and Refresh cycles. The Maha is better than both given it has more flexibility than the EBL, and it’s larger and maybe a wee-bit more useful than the La Crosse. Refresh on the La Crosse can take days, while a similar run took only a few hours on the Maha

Perfect balance between large non-smart chargers and smaller smart chargers

I really like the individual charge indicators for each battery.

Works as advertised

Need a quick charger for my eneloops, this works great.

Great Charger

Smart charger works great. Batteries charge quickly without over charging and they last a long time. 

Great for price.

Easy to operate and works great. Performs per what the specs and instructions say.

Excellent!

I use two of these and they are fast and reliable. Look no further for charging your AA  and AAA enloops.

Best battery charger

Took a little time to figure out the difference between charging modes, but works as advertised.

Good product

My other chargers charge batteries in pairs, so if one is partially full and the other empty they both stop when the first is full. this charger not only charges individual, but you can condition the batteries for longer life.

Charges single AA's instead of pairs

These overpriced rechargeable batteries and the system work well together.  I have never had an issue with either.  I do wish the digital display was easier to read.  The battery charging indicators are clear, but the words on the screen are microscopic and hence illegible.   I would NOT buy these unless they were on a very good sale, but they seem to be of good quality and have lasted me a while.

Good Batteries

Love this bad boy! Recharges superfast and reliable. Can't go wrong with this.

Give me lotsa Power!

I've brought a few batteries back to life with this unit. I'd been getting by with a pretty standard 4 battery charger, and  didn't realize how poorly a charge I'd been getting until I used this charger. The powerex batteries impressed as well. Very happy with the purchase. 

Excellent charger. Fast when you need it to be, and brings old batteries back to life when you have spare time.

Small hard see screen but other then that is perfect !

Smart Charger

I can't say enough about how well the charger works. I have reconditioned and recharged 16 batteries since purchasing this charger. I would highly recommend this item. Easy to read display, seems well built, and easy to follow instrctions.

Excellent Charger

All charged up

I am a long-tIme hobbies, turned semi-prophotographer and have two Canon 600EX-RT Speedlites and use Eneloops batteries.  This charger works perfectly for me and I like that I can do slow charge of fast charge and also can charge anywhere from one to eight batteries at a time!  My two Speedlites use 8 batteries total, so being able to charge the whole set after a long shoot is great! Very intuitive to use, with easy to read and understand graphic display!

Perfect for my needs

At twice the price, a bargain! Will be purchasing another one soon. Does what it claims, reconditioned my old batteries (over seven years old), and rapid charged my new ones. In hind sight, I should have bought two. This item will pay for itself by extending the life of my battery investment.

Should have bought two...

I should have bought this years ago.  I've always used a rapid charger and didn't think about the impact on battery life.  This is the best of both worlds - slow charge or recondition when there is time and rapid charge when you need it ASAP.  Highly recommend!

Awesome battery charger

I use a lot of AA batteries for various devices and the 8 slot charger is great,  The batteries are used along with Eneloops and I can't tell the difference, which as good as any I've found.

Good stuff

Charger is great and have used for several years. The batteries that come with it died sooner than my  my other brand. These were ised in a nikon flash.Gtraet recycling time while they lasted. charger yes batts so so

GREAT CHARGER

I like the ability to charge 8 batteries, independently, at a time. Various charging levels are helpful as well. If you use, or think you'll use, a lot of AA or AAA rechargeables, this is a great unit.

Great charger.

I have looked at various chargers with as many as 12 stations Decided on Maha because of its 1 hour capablity. Doing 18 in two hours is faster than doing 12 in 3 or more hours with other chargers.

To charge batteries for a wireless microphone.
