Product Description
It's like having eight chargers! The 7th generation Powerex microprocessor features a 0.001V resolution delivering just the right charge! The MH-C808M is designed for today's ultra high capacity C & D batteries with rapid charging current. Charging time for a 11,000mAh D battery is around 5 hours, while other products may take up to 40 hours to complete. Charging Rate: 2.0A for AA / C / D and 0.7A for AAA. Recharge AA / AAA in one hour and C / D in 1 to 5 hour regardless the number of batteries. Easy to understand English-based LCD panel displaying charging status for each battery. Unlike other universal chargers, the Powerex MH-C808M uses rugged fixed contacts rather than spring-loaded ones, enhancing product reliability. It also features a rugged DIN power connector found only in professional products. The MH-C808M provides user with the option to choose between a soft charge and a fast charge mode. The Soft mode delivers the highest battery life and allows 100% compatibility with older, lower capacity batteries. The MH-C808M is the coolest rapid charger in Powerex's line of professional products. Low charging temperature maximizes battery life and performance. The MH-C808M is embedded with a high-rate battery conditioner that will charge, deep-discharge and recharge batteries automatically. The unit includes a heavy duty switching AC power supply. The 100-240V 50/60Hz universal power supply employs a rugged DIN connector for reliable contact.

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the charging feature of the battery charger. They mention that it has great features, such as the option to slow-charge the batteries, which is ostensibly better for them. The charger fully charges the batteries in a reasonable amount of time, and it gets the job done for recharging in reasonable amount. Customers recommend that this is the best charger on the market for typical charging.

Customers have mixed opinions about the value of the battery charger. Some mention it's simple to use and worth the price, while others say it' a little expensive and not worth the money at all.

The entire charger barely got warm after quick charging six 2500mah batteries, and some customers have found different brands of batteries in this charger overheating to the point you can't touch them. This may be why the casing melted with the D batteries, as well as the casin around the left two slots.

Update on 12-15-2015:
Charger is still working great after 3 years.
Summary of important info from instructions page that comes with charger (maybe of use to someone):
* Only use NiMH or NiCD batteries.
* Has 3 charging modes: Rapid Charging mode, Soft Charging mode, & Conditioning mode
* Charges from 1 to 8 batteries at one time (any charging mode)
* When in Rapid Charge mode, ONLY use AA / C / D batteries of 2000mAh (or higher), or AAA batteries of 700mAh (or higher) - takes 1 hour if batteries are empty.
* When in Soft Charging mode, can charge any type of battery size, but AA / C / D batteries less than 2000mAh, or AAA batteries less than 700mAh, will ONLY work in this mode. (I accidentally tried a 1000mAh AA in Rapid Charge mode once and it starting sizzling in a weird way. I immediately took it out - no damage, fortunately, to battery or charger.)
* Has independent charging slots.
* Charge Times: AA / AAA: 1 Hour (Rapid), 2 Hour (Soft)
C: 1 to 3 Hour (Rapid), 2 to 6 Hour (Soft)
D: 1 to 5 Hour (Rapid), 5 to 10 Hour (Soft)
Update on 4-17-2019:
Charger is still working great after 7 years. Due to necessity, have recently purchased a second one in order to charge enough batteries on short notice. I charge mainly AA batteries (PowerEx and Energizer, some of these are 7-10 years old).
