Is this Uniross on Amazon the same charger as the La Cross BC
700? It has the same sort of look but is promoted as a "one
hour" charger.

I think that is because if you set it to 1000mA (or possibly
more if you are only charging 2 cells) and have 1000mA cells it
should charge them in one hour. However, set the charge rate at
200 and it will charge them in 5 hours (all 'ish' etc).

The back of the packet says it charges at 200, 500, 700, 1000
mA.


I don't think it's 'the same' as the BC 700 only goes to 700mA
but it could well be the same technically (apart from that g).

This suggests that some of the variants are as thought:

BC900.asp

For me 'the point' for such chargers is the slow charge /
cycling / testing and I feel that is best done at less than
'maximum' charge rate. That's not to say that that isn't a
test / use in itself, just not one I need (or have other
chargers for).

I particularly like the capacity measurement with that charger.
It helps eliminate failing cells.


And that was one of the main reasons for buying one for me as there
are plenty of basic chargers out there. ;-)
