Seems to work well
(4 out of 5) by J. Thomas Trask on Oct 14, 2009I don't know much about battery chargers, but this seems to work well. The only problem is that for the price, I can't imagine that it really works that much better than other chargers...

Great product, hardly no instructions
(4 out of 5) by M. F. Rodriguez on Oct 8, 2009Yes, charging your batteries is not that hard, but this great equipment would benefit from a more detailed manual describing more clearly what the light color and flashings mean. Other than that it seems to work great. I love that I can leave my batteries charging until I need them.

Great charger
(5 out of 5) by P. Braun on Aug 7, 2009 (East coast)This charger works great. It is costly but worth it. My batteries hold the charge for a long time.

Initial impressions and Ansmann's USA website info
(5 out of 5) by Barrett A. Steele on Jun 10, 2009 (Newport Beach, CA, USA)This review is for the Ansmann Energy 8 (part number 5407022) charger. I just started using it, so more info will follow... but I wanted to share Ansmann's USA website, in case you were having trouble with their German one. Its: [...]
On that website, you can find a list of resellers in your area. If you have questions about the products, ask the resellers, or use the live chat feature on the Ansmann USA website. I found them to be very helpful.
Note that Ansmann also sells an Energy 8 "Plus" charger and an Energy 8 "Professional" charger. According to their representatives, the "Plus" charger (not available currently on Amazon) has the very same functions as the "regular" Energy 8, but has a more streamlined body and "updated" LED displays. However, the charging and refreshing functions are the same.
The "Professional" series is a 19" rack-mountable device, despite the photos that the German website shows. If you look at the US website, it shows the 19" rack-mountable design. The "Professional" series isn't available in the US yet (according to their reps) because of some patent issues with the battery testing function that the professional series touts.

Simple Fast and does the job.
(5 out of 5) by Mohammed H. Hadjazi on Mar 2, 2009 (Dubai, UAE)Best thing about this product is that it has no buttons or a screen with complicated code numbers, just a very simple light code. yet it does the job perfectly, first it analyze the battery then it discharge it and then it recharge with overheat protection. I can't imagine anything as simple and effective as this for a normal user like me. lots of my batteries came back to life because of it, i thought all charges are the same until i tried this. I don't understand why big companies like duracell and Energizer sell cheap chargers with its batteries. if there is something to complain about, maybe it is not portable enough with its rounded shape. Five stars for sure =)
