Especially in comparison to the one I had before. I bought this charger for my son after having one myself for the past year that I use for my Canon digital camera. I've been very satisfied with it. My batteries rarely need charging now, and when they do it's done in 3 hours or less. I have no negatives at all for this product, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality, reasonably priced charger set.
i bought this a couple of months ago and was initially highly satisfied with the batteries. however, a week or so ago the charger stopped working. every time i'd plug it in the light would be on for half a second before going off. you could jiggle the charger in the plug to see if it worked, but the charger doesn't stay in the position.so i'm basically left with four good batteries and a charger that doesn't work, and now i'm back to using my old charger which would take over a whole night to recharge.you're far better off with a rayovac or something, the new ones which charge batteries in fifteen minutes.
Each cell is monitored and quickly and fully charged without overheating; then the current is reduced into "trickle-mode". It has a plug-in cigarette adapter so one can charge batteries while in one's car (or SUV).
I evaluated MonsterCable pack (4-AA batteries plus charger) but I have found the Lenmar Gamma 1Hour the better choice. I have recently purchased a Canon A60-digital camera, which, like all other digital cameras, is a power-hungry device so it made sense for me to purchase rechargeable AA-NIMH batteries plus a charger.
The Lenmar Gamma Mach 1 is designed with 4 separate circuits for charging one or two, or three, or four (AA or AAA) batteries. Lenmar Gamma provides higher-capacity AA batteries (2000mAH NIMH).
Lenmar's charging-time is 65 minutes for 4 2000mAH AA-batteries; MonsterCable needs 3 hours. The microprocessor-control is superior.
[Note: it is not recommended to charge NiCad batteries on the Lenmar Gamma 1Hour Speedcharger].
Decent product. I am a photographer and need good power when I am on the red carpet like movie premiers. My techie friend w/ $$$ parents likes to buy Monster products so i gave it a try. The batteries are marketed well. This delivers enough juice for about 80-100 flashes and I exchange out to the 2nd set of Monsters I have. This is my budget way of getting good consumer batteries so I don't have to pay the $4-500 in a professional battery hip pack which would last me 900 flashes which I don't need. These batteries I have are manufactured in China or Pakistan. Don't like it affects the quality.
