The only downside is that the batteries to take a while to charge. Not a hideously long time, but a few hours is still less than ideal. Still, with the ability to charge four batteries at a time, you can confidently leave for work, and find them fully charged for when you return. I can't ask for more.


Fast Charger?   December 12, 2005

I dread to think how long a slow charger would take to charge batteries. I certainly don't think a charge time of between 7 and 21 hours is in the least bit fast. Should not be described as a fast charger at all.

Flash hub seemed to be very slow to respond to my emails and my order has failed to come now for over a week.


Dependable, but slow   August 9, 2005

This is a decent price of kit that has only one drawback - speed.
I knew it was slow when I got it, and the charge times stated are accurate (takes 18Hrs+ for 2000mAh+ AA batteries), but it was the only Uniross charger in stock at the time I was buying my digital camera (which uses 4 AAs and has high power consumption).

I can strongly recommend this charger if you are budget conscious and have a timer switch you can plug it into (this charger has no cut-off when the batteries are fully charged, so there is a dnager of overcharging).

I've had no problems - I get about 1-2 days heavy usage from 2000 - 2100 mAh AAs in my camera, so I can have another set charging during that time. For long trips, you might need two fully charged sets of batteries and one on charge at home base. For really high-demand usage it might be better to buy a fast charger with a cigarette lighter attachment for the car. Much more expensive though...
