I ordinarily use the charger that came with my Sanyo Eneloops, but this has two nice features for a basic charger - a beep to tell you when it's done, and a bad-battery detector.

The indicator lights, auto shutoff and beep when charged are great features.

I thought the bad battery indicator was a good feature & have come across numerous batteries that I have had for a long time that it says are bad

Very nice features to help determine battery charge status and bad batteries

Having the smart charge feature is super handy, and I love that it fits AA and AAA. very convenient.

Has a feature that tells you if the batteries are no longer good, but I wonder what criteria it uses for that, since a lot of other batteries I had are no good.

Works as it should.

charger & batteries work as they should

Works as it's intended - two stars down because it's difficult to get the batteries out of the unit.
