Don't be fooled by the picture. The power adaptor is more than half of the charger!

This unit came with the latest version of the chraging program on it. The unit works well. It is used every day without any issues on the lithium batteries. However, if you have some old rechargeables that are completely dead this unit does not always start. So to address this I pop the "dead" batteries into a an old Radio Shack charger. This jumpstarts the batteries with a very small base charge. Then I put the batteries in the new La Crosse charger to condition them.

I'd wager that many of you are comparing this to the Maha Powerex MH-C9000 WizardOne Charger-Analyzer as I was. The reviews by NLee that compare the two were quite helpful in providing background information. I was going to get the MH-C9000 but it included less stuff than the BC-900, it was more expensive than the BC-900, and it wasn't sold directly by Amazon so there would be additional shipping charges on top of the higher product cost. Based on those factors the BC-900 wins the price / performance comparison against the MH-C9000 right now.
One of the things that I was wondering, and you may be as well, is specific information on the capacities of the included batteries. Reading through the reviews it looks like La Crosse bumps up the included battery capacity periodically. The shipment I received today had 2600 mAh AA batteries and 1000 mAh AAA batteries and the charger had firmware version 35 on it. The side panel of the box does state what capacity the included ...

Even though I have other intelligent chargers, I bought this one because it would charge cells individually and it had the ability to test and report capacity of batteries. I have a large number of different brands of NiMH batteries and I have found it quite interesting to see how the brands have actually compared to their "advertised" capacity. It has been quite an eye-opener.
Programming the thing is a little clunky if you want to make it do different things to different batteries at the same time, but if you want to do the same thing all inserted batteries, it is very easy to use. So far, I'm very happy with the unit.

This thing was better than i expected. I received firmware v35 which apparently doesn't have any problems like some older ones. Has some very useful features and it seems to charge to a higher capacity compared to my old charger. very happy overall plus best price i can find too.
