- Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2015If you have need for a nimh/nicad battery charger for 6v-12v batteries ranging from 1000-5000mah then this is definitely a charger to consider. With two charging speeds, 1a or 2a, to choose from this fits a variety of needs. I use it to charge a 9.6v 2000mah nimh pack and on the 2a speed it takes about 1 hour. This does use a Tamiya style connector but does come with micro-tamiya and alligator clip converter. If you need something with another connector this still may be a good options if it would be eaper to buy this and then the tamiya>whatever you need converter than a charger with the connector that you need. This charger is indeed a smart charger. It will read if/when your battery is full and stop the charge at that point. It will also sense damage to the battery and has a sensor to check for an overheating battery and will shut off charging if those conditions are detected. All of this for under $20? Tremendous value.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2016I absolutely love this charger. I bought it with my Tenergy 9.6 volt butterfly battery and it works wonderfully. It came with the battery relatively quick and was very easy to set up. The charger comes with 3 different adapters in order to charge any battery a typical air softer would need. It charges my 9.6 volt very fast even with a completely dead battery and after fully charging will stop charging it. This is a nice feature so the battery does not overheat or stay on a charger longer than needed to preserve battery life. The cord is not very long but as long as you're just charging a battery with it, it works just fine. The light indicator on the top of the box on the charger will light up when charging and turn off when done. This is a very nice feature especially if running late to a field. For the price, this is definitely a great product.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2011I use this to charge a few custom battery packs I made for a power tool. I don't have a good way to test charge density but I do get the correct run time from the packs. Great value and easy to use. It does appear to continue charging at a decent rate after the light turns. It keeps the battery pretty warm at the end of the cycle so I wouldn't leave it plugged in too long once the charge is complete. Oh yeh, don't forget to insert the thermal couple inside the pack. It appears to have a safety built in and didn't completely charge the battery when I left the TC out. Great charger for the price, I'll be getting the higher voltage one as well.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2014Well, technology marches on, and nicads are unpopular with the EPA. (cadmium) so NiMH is coming on line. This charger does both, so I connected it to my 5 cell flashlight charger case. It works great and will charge either battery pack. For 5-10 cell packs 1000 - 2000 mah, place the charge rate switch on 1 amp. For packs 2000-5000 mah, place the charge switch on the 2 amp charge rate. Don't leave the charger unattended even tho it is supposed to stop charging after 4 hours, as per instructions. For the unwashed, nicads have a longer lifespan if recharged around the 30% discharged point: however, they also tend to accept this discharge level as the new totally discharged level. NiMH can be recharged at any discharge level without this effect, and tend to have more capacity than nicads; however, it also takes somewhat longer to charge them and they tend to deliver less current than nicads. If you really need current, go to lithium-ion. For my flashlight, I chose the NiMH and a led replacement bulb. A good combination.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2014The seller was Battery Superstore. I paid 15 bucks.
It included the following connector adapter cables, but I don't use them:
* one standard female Tamiya to alligator clips
* one standard female Tamiya to small/mini male Tamiya
I am using the Tenergy to charge a 7.2v 2000mAh battery and a 7.2v 3800mAh battery.
I needed a banana connector to charge my batteries, so I also purchased a Redcat Racing ST-TAMFTO4B Version 4.0 Female Tamiya to Banana Adapter; the adapter fit the charger just fine.
The charger is still new, and I haven't used it much. I'll update this review, if I have any problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars A decent basic RC NIMH charger
A basic budget charger for NIMH or Nicad battery packs, works good and gets the job done. To the person that almost burnt their house down, you tried to charge a Lipo battery with a NIMH charger!!! Wow you have no clue what you are doing and should not own Lipo batteries! Lipo require a totally different charger that accept the balance wire. Research before you buy and use stuff you have no clue about.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great. Charges my 9
Works great. Charges my 9.6v (1600mA) butterfly battery in about 2 hours, and my 8.4v (1100mA) butterfly battery in about 1.5 hours. As a comparison, with the regular cheap wall charger that came with the M4 riffle, it took around 5-6 hours for each. The Tenergy charger also comes with a wired temperature sensor to monitor the battery pack while charging, and it will shut off automatically if it gets too hot or it reaches 5 hours of charge time.I fell much better about charging my batteries now with this charger. Well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect charger that has absolutely no competition on Amazon!
I bought a new airsoft marker and I needed a nice charger to charge its battery. This one was recommended by a friend and I couldn't be happier! this charger was able to satisfy all of my needs with its safety features and quick charging capabilities.
Pros;

✔️ Really simple to use, the instructions included are great and help a lot!
✔️ The safety features are the best of its kind for the price with auto shut off when it's done, heat sensor and 2 different charging modes.
Cons;
❌ None! This is a perfect charger!
In conclusion, this is a perfect charger and has absolutely no competition on Amazon and is a no-brainer for any NiMH/NiCd batteries!
