This charger is a huge improvement on the old four-position charger. The LED display shows the charge status of each battery simultaneously, taking a lot of the guesswork out of how long each one will take to charge (or if they are charged or not.)
It will charge all 8 overnight. Very helpful for sound equipment. I use it to charge Pearstone NiMH AA's for my Marantz and dual wireless audio. With this setup, I can charge all the AA's I will need in one day.

Comments about Pearstone 4 Hour Battery Charger with LCD Display for (8) AA or AAA Batteries:
I purchased this charger to charge some high capacity batteries that I use for my flash and vertical grip after I found the one I was using would not charge them fully.
The best feature is how it charges each battery independently and shows you the status of each cell as well. I also found that I had a couple of batteries that where no good with this charger. Part of the problem with the previous chargers where these bad cells and the lack of ability to identify them. The old charger would simpley indicate everything was charged whereas this unit kept charging the good batteries while identifying the bad one.
This is not a super fast charger however I do not see that as an issue sine it does such a great job of FULLY charging your batteries unlike other chargers. You can also use this charger to discharge cells as you see fit.
I highly recommend this charger!

Comments about Pearstone 4 Hour Battery Charger with LCD Display for (8) AA or AAA Batteries:
No Complaints - the health and status indicator for the batteries helped me root out some bad batteries as well as doing full charges in 4 hours or less. Would highly recommend - compact and the DC cable detaches which makes it easier to fit into different size packages.

Comments about Pearstone 4 Hour Battery Charger with LCD Display for (8) AA or AAA Batteries:
This charger is very good for charging my speedlight batteries. At the end of a day I can put 8 batteries in and in the morning they're ready to go. For charging 8 at a time, it charges reasonably fast. The LCD charging display is very nice and bright and tells the status of each battery.
The discharge time takes a while though and that is why I gave this 4 stars. I don't think it should take that long to discharge but I guess its doing it's job.
Overall, if you use a lot of batteries, this charger is great.

Comments about Pearstone 4 Hour Battery Charger with LCD Display for (8) AA or AAA Batteries:
Put one battery in the unit, or put eight batteries in. Each cell is individually assessed for current power level. If you think some are building up a memory, with a one-button push, the unit will discharge, then recharge your batteries. Automatic trickle charge is implemented to prevent overcharging once full power is reached. Car charger adapter included for ease of use! The only downside I can see, is that it isn't a quick-charge unit. It will take a few hours for a fully depleted battery to reach capacity if all the bays are loaded.

I use it for Pearstone batteries to replace alkalines in household use. Seems to work just fine. I do like the discharge function and the battery status LED indicators are very useful.
Not any faster than any other charger I've used, but otherwise a very good deal.

I like the LCD display, allows you to see The status of the batteries When Charging. It charges the batteries in a fair amount of time. But a full cycle charge can take about 5 hours. (Discharging and charging)

Comments about Pearstone 4 Hour Battery Charger with LCD Display for (8) AA or AAA Batteries:
READ THE SPECS AND PREVIEWS ON ALOT OF NIMH CHARGERS ON THE B&H WEB-SITE. NONE COMPARED TO PEARSTONES 8AA-LCD RAPID CHARGER. BOUGHT PEARSTONE BATTTERYS WITH IT AND IT IS AMAZING TO SEE THE LCD DISPLAY AS THE BATTERYS CHARGE. I AM USING THE BATTERYS IN NIKON EQUIPMENT, AND THE BATTERYS DO HAVE A LOT OF POWER. PLAN TO GET PEARSTONES FOR ALL MY NIKON EQUIPMENT.
