I got my Maha in the UK works fine.

That last one is close (at 8 cells) but again seems to 'boast' that
even in 'soft' mode will fully charge a cell in 2 hours? I was looking
at double that to ensure everything stayed cool and hence lasted as
long as poss? ;-(

The RC electric car guys were nearly all fan cooling their cells when
we last raced. I'd prefer to have more sets and charge them slower
(but not too slow). ;-)

Possibly why the Nicads in my big radio are nearly 20 years old .. ;-)

All the best ..
