    What charger am I looking for?

    I have a C808M and I think it was worth the price. Charging rates are as follows Fast Charge Current: 2000mA (AA), 700mA (AAA) Soft Charge Current: 1000mA (AA), 350mA (AAA) Also has a conditioning cycle and a very low tricle charge current so you can leave the batterys in the charger...

    is spontaneous charger combustion an urban myth

    I place all of my chargers in a pyrex baking dish when using them and never leave the house when they are running. Even my Maha 808M. Its not that I dont trust them but why take a chance?

    Comparison of consumer-level Li-Ion chargers?

    You made some good points I also would like to see more information on litium-ion batterys and chargers. By the way I belive AW sells a larger 800ma power supply for the DSD that should cut the charge time almost in half for the larger cells.

    Maha C777-Plus II Charging issues

    Cell reversal usually happens when the pack was discharged too low. I dont think there is a cure for it either. I have had my C777-Plus for years and never had any problems. Your problem with the batt pack may not have been caused by your charger, have you charged any other packs with it?

    Can Downboy 'spoil' and regulate at different current?

    If I remember correctly if power is applied to the regulator board and there is no LED connected or if the LED burns up and opens the circut then the regulator board will be damaged quickly. Im so sorry to hear this, I hope you have better luck on the next one.

    Energizer CR123 - Made in China ?

    I dont think I would strip it. Lithium can ignite if it comes in contact with oxygen or moistue. (even just the humidity in the air) and can do so with no source of ignition. These are some of the resons they have these have safety features built in.

This is from the time the battery warning goes off to full charge...
