Having had bad experiences with other "universal" chargers I greeted this product with skepticism. But it does its job and we have found it indispensable at work where we sell several brands of digital cameras and many of us charge our cell phone batteries with it.
The Ansmann Vario charger is simple to operate. There are two sliding pins marked "+" and "-" which need to be adjusted by finger (or included plastic wand) to match the contact points of a battery. Most batteries have clearly labeled positive and negative terminals but sometimes it is difficult to discern and those with poor reading vision may become annoyed at this need for visual identification.
The top of the charger is sprung so that the battery can be held in place. Most batteries will be perpendicular (face down) to the charger so the Vario must be used on a flat horizontal surface. Once contact is made a red LED indicates charging and a green LED will be lit when charging is complete.
We've used a multitude of Canon, Fujifilm, Olympus and Pentax batteries and the charger works with aplomb. As a courtesy we sometimes charge customer batteries and have placed Casio, Kodak, Nikon, Panasonic and Sony batteries in it as well. As mentioned previously this will also charge cell phone batteries.
This is probably not an ideal charger for someone who owns just one camera (or has multiple cameras using the same battery type) and is on the go. It can be fiddly to match the battery terminals with the charger contacts, the charger and AC supply is not one piece and the charger needs a flat surface to operate. I have not used the included 12V auto adapter but can only imagine it's not very practical in a moving car.
But for anyone who needs to charge a multitude of batteries at home or work this is a very practical and reliable charger.
