Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)1. I've had several universal lithium ion battery chargers, all by Lenmar and they all work.
2. Actually, just to back up a bit, if you're someone who has only one device (with battery) to charge, then you may not want / need this; you might be content with using the charger that came with your particular device. However, if you're someone with multiple devices, who travels and doesn't want to carry different battery chargers, cords etc... then you should definitely consider a universal charger.
3. Here are my brief impressions of this unit:
a. It's definitely the most simplest and least bulky universal charger via Lenmar. I've owned the more popular Mach1 Lenmar universal charger as well as their other one (I forgot the name), but they all require specific battery plates for your specific battery. Thus, one would then have to pack up several battery plates along with the charger etc... With this unit, you don't need to purchase battery plates, because you have to determine (ie move) the contacts on the charger so as to touch the + / - contacts on the battery (ie a fairly easy thing to do).The unit itself is fairly light, fairly compact / small, it closes up nicely and the associated AC cord is fairly compact.
b. Ease of use: once you read the very very brief "manual", and figure out that all you have to do is move the contacts on the unit so as to correspond to the + /- contacts on the battery, then it becomes a no brainer. The first time you do it, you'll wonder if you're doing it right but after talking to lenmar they recommend, first attaching the batter / contacts etc... THEN, plug the unit to the AC, then just kind of sit back for 30-60 seconds, and then you should see the LCD panel light up with the appropriate data showing that the battery is being charged etc...
c. Versatility: this is the main benefit of this unit. As noted above, you don't need to purchase those battery plates, everytime you get a new device.I have three digital cameras (no problem with those three different batteries, I just took out the lithium batter in my cell phone--> no problems charing that up, and since this unit has a USB plug, I can also charge up my ipod touch. Furthermore, this unit comes with a AC adapter, a car charger adapter, and some AC adapter for use in what appears to be European countries.
d. Speed? I haven't nor do I have the ability to do any scientific tests, but I'm going to assume that the main downside of this unit is that it may charge the batteries at a slower rate compared to the Lenmar Mach1 (or whatever it's currently called) universal chargers.On the otherhand, unless you're a professional where you need rapid turnaround in battery chargers, this should work out for the vast majority of folks.
4. All in all, highly recommended for those needing a universal charger, in a lightweight, compact package, without the need for multiple battery plates. Well done.
