highly recommended

Almost perfect.

That's my second BC-900 charger. I need to charge 8 batteries at once that's why I own two. I am very happy with it so far. It has many great features, some of them you will use more often than others but it is good to know they are there in case you need them. Charger displays all important info you might need during charging process which is also a big plus. It comes with converters in case you need other type of battery which might be a great solution for some. I have not used it though. There is also a pouch included so you can store everything in one place or have it with you when traveling. The pouch is big enough to fit two chargers which is very convenient for me.
The only cons I have are:
- lack of fan which causes the charging process to stop when batteries are overheated. Charging starts automatically once the batteries cool down.
- capacity - only 4 batteries. It would be great to have one larger unit instead of buying two small ones.
Overall it is a great product. Definitely worth the money. One of the best and one of the least expensive on the market.

Works amazingly well

Works as advertised. I did not notice any undue heat issues, my unit was ON non-stop for 11 days, wherein I was refreshing all my batteries (AA and AAA) at the lowest current setting and the unit never went beyond the room temperature. Maybe I have an unit with the latest firmware or maybe the higher current settings might heat up the unit.

I like it.

I first got it, hoping I could restore several (20) of my older rechargeable NiMH batteries, but after weeks of trying only one or two of the AA could be saved, but all of (16) AAA were restored. The older AA batteries did have MANY more charge cycles in there life than the AAA's did and were heavly used, I date the batteries with mo/yr when I get them and all the AA were dated 2005. This charger does a good job keeping my new NiMH batteries charged and ready for use, I always keep a set in the charger so they are fresh and ready to go. With the Sanyo eneloop battery this step is not necessary as they hold their charge for months, but for the other NiHM batteries it does a great job charging them and keeping them charged. I have used other chargers like the MAHA MH-C401FS that was very poor and may have damaged and or shortened the life of the batteries. the LaCross is the best charger I have used. The 4 C and 4 D-size battery adapters have come in handy, and the 4 AA and 4 AAA LaCross rechargeable batteries that came with this charger have held up well. I stayed away from MAHA's other offerings because of problems I had with the MH-C401FS
but I read of many happy MAHA customers so I may have just gotten a bad one. While I would not personally buy another MAHA product I would however not hesitate to but another LaCross BC-900, and I would recommend it to my friends, just don't expect it to depart from the laws of physics, all batteries have a life cycle.

Way more charger than you'll ever need!

But simple enough if you just want to throw your batteries in and go. Brought a couple old batteries back from the dead. Good price too, especially considering it comes with 4 AAA's and 4 AA's to get you started.

A great charger

This is a great charger. The multiple modes come in handy - refreshing an older battery, determining the capacity, or just re-charging. Being able to control the charging rate is very nice. I usually use the lowest charge rate to be easiest on the battery. The unit is small enough for traveling and it accepts international voltages (100 to 240V). In the past I was using a cheap small plug mounted high current charger when traveling and it trashed my batteries.

The only issue I have seen with the unit is that batteries with a very low voltage are not charged. I drop them into another charger I have for a short bit and then they can be charged in the BC-900. This issue does not happen often, though.
