Ted, or anyone, i bot a RShack "Auto Sensing" model (for ni-cad and lithium).
the manual and box says, "automatically senses full charge and shuts off".
further, in the manual it says, '`...charge only fully discharged cells...'

I replied to this but don't see it and my ISP has been having the
nasties so:

I wouldn't trust it but YMMV. First off, they don't mention delt-V
termination or NiMH. Second, there should be no need to fully discharge
cells before charging if it were truly a smart charger.

another feature is a "backup" fixed timer, 1.5hr for nicad, 2.0 for lith.
it's RS model 23-405, 50% off recently. it's heavy, brick shaped, but
is it really fully automatic?

I don't think so and wouldn't trust it but I haven't personally seen
it. I *know* the Maha's are good.
