For some time now I've wanted the freedom and safety of charging batteries on my kitchen counter and not in my car (unless I'm at the field) and getting a power supply set-up seemed both expensive and a whole lot of work. So... I've been eyeing this item for some time but really poor reviews on HK left me a little dubious about its quality.

Well I finally decided to give it a go and I purchased one. It arrived on Friday and that evening I charged 2X1500mAh, 2X1300mAh, 3X1000mAh and 3X610mAh batteries one after the other. (My charger is a Turnigy Accucel 6 which I think is the best thing in that price range and out performs non Turnigy chargers at 3X the price).

I charged the 1500 - 1000mAh at 1.0 Amp and the 610's at .6 Amps and so far all is well with the unit which at no time ran hot but most importantly I didn't have to go running to the garage every 5 minutes.

I must point out that I cut the plug supplied and fitted a South African 3point plug. I thought the wires were a little on the thin side but with a 1Amp draw I don't expect this to be a problem

I hope this inexpensive little item continues to perform and I'll post if it should suddenly give-up...
