A good choice for charging your batteries

Not much to say. Works as advertised. No complaints.
It works well

I used this charger to recondition 16 AA batteries. It worked exactly as advertised. It is not a fast process but then it is not supposed to be fast. It charged the batteries up, then it ran them down slowly and shows how much power it got out of them. Finally it recharges them and shows how much they hold. The only down side is once you start the process you cannot interupt it without it starting over. I had a brief power interuption at the house and it started over. It gets a little warm but not bad.

The default charging mode seems fast on MH-C980. Is this harder on batteries in the long run, compared to the cheaper MH-800S?
Default charging on the Powerex MH-C980 Turbo Charger-Analyzer is two hours, which will not harm the batteries.

I just received this charger, and was conditioning some old 2100mA Rayovac rechargeables. When I checked on them, I was shocked to see two of them charged to 3886 mA and still increasing. I immediately unplugged the unit and removed the batteries. One is bubbly looking like it's about to explode. Is my charger defective, or did I do something wrong?
I had two of these chargers do this to me while conditioning the batteries. I contacted the manufacturer. They had me send photos by email. Then the manufacturer requested I return the units to them. They replaced both units with newer units that now have fans. However, I’ve never taken the chance again with conditioning batteries. I now just replace batteries. It was so scary.

Powerex MH-C980: When charging, is the display "always on", or can it be turned off? I am trying to reduce "light pollution" in the office.
By pressing both buttons at the same time, you can toggle this to be always on and off.
