Summary: Super Battery Charger
Comment: I purchased this through Amazon for just over $25, 3 months ago. I have been using it non-stop as I cycle through all my rechargeable AA and AAA batteries. I have been using the Discharge/Refresh cycle on all of them. I really like the multiple options and LCD feedback on this device. I am using the 200mah setting so the cycles are taking quite a bit of time to complete, but once I have finished going through the Discharge/Refresh cycle I will up the charging cycles to 500mah and I'm sure the times will be much shorter. I'm very pleased with this purchase so far.

Summary: Great charger, great price!
Comment: I decided to buy this in hopes that I can get more use out of my batteries. I drain a lot of batteries through my mp3 player and my rear bicycle lights and I noticed a steep decline in battery lifespan within months of usage. I found out that my cheap Sony charger was killing my batteries by charging them too quickly so I chose this charger.
Pros:
*I get to see how much capacity each battery has so I know when to bring a backup pair.
*The charger's renew function has brought some of my batteries back to life!
Cons:
*It takes about a day for my batteries to fully charge at 200mA.
*Interface was complicated enough to require reading the manual but the manual was very detailed.
Conclusion:
Overall great product and I would recommend this to anyone that uses rechargeable batteries consistently.

Summary: Saves your batteries, saves your money, why are you waiting?
Comment: I bought this charger for my hoards of the best AA rechargeable batteries out there, the eneloop Sanyo Eneloop 8 Pack AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries. These batteries are simply amazing, and I'm sure that part of those high expectations come from the exceptional charger. I can leave the batteries idle for months, drop them into the charger and they don't need any topping off. The charger allows multiple modes of charging. The less power you put into the battery the better for the battery the charge is. If you feel a cell coming off of a charger super hot, that is terrible for the battery. At my office we had a 15 minute fast charger that the batteries were so hot, you had to wait another 15 minutes for it to cool down!
I even managed to salvage some much older AA batteries I had around the house for use in the kids toys. The charger has a cycle which takes a few days where it attempts to revive old batteries.
This is a definite must buy, I'll probably buy a second one actually so I don't have to spend so much time charging/swapping batteries before a wedding shoot!

Summary: Great Charger for the money
Comment: Before I purchased this charger, I researched the Maha C9000, the LaCrosse BC-900, and this, the LaCross BC-700.
This charger does everything that it says it will, including selection of charge rates from 200mA to 700mA, discharge mode to eliminate memory effect, test mode to measure battery capacity, and refresh mode to rejuvenate old cells (or break in new cells).
The user interface is reasonably simple for the rich features that this charger offers (compared to the Maha, which to do anything other than the default charge, requires dozens of button presses).
While the BC-900 offers higher charge rates (1000mA for 4 cells, or 1800mA for 2 cells), this charger is more than fast engough for my Eneloops (Japanese Duracells). I prefer the gentle 200mA rate most of the time (which is the recommended rate printed on my cells), and don't really need the faster rates of the Maha or the BC-900.
The Maha charger has alot of bells and whistles, most of which I would probably rarely use, particularly with the clunky user interface, and many of these features may actually be replicated on the LaCross units.
The following are the pro's and cons (IMO) of the various chargers:
BC-700 Pros:
Easy setup
Individual displays for each cell, toggle between current, voltage, time elapsed, mAH, etc
Default charge rate of 200mA (doesn't cook my batteries)
Price - $25 two months ago when I purchased it (as of today Amazon wanted $41 for it)
BC-700 Cons:
Price was just increased, now making the BC-900 a better buy (compare before you buy).
BC-900 Pro's:
Everything good about the BC-700
Faster charge rates available if you need them
Freebies thrown into the deal (batteries, travel case, and converters), and as of today, only $40 (cheaper than the BC-700, again compare prices and value before you buy).
BC-900 Cons: None that I can think of
Maha C9000 Pro's:
More and faster charge rates available than on LaCrosse chargers
More features than the LaCross units (although some of the extra features can be replicated on the LaCrosse units)
Maha C9000 Cons:
Single display, and user must wait for the unit to cycle through it's sequence for each cell to see information.
Programming is complicated, and can ONLY be done on a per cell basis, unlike the LaCross that can be done as a set, or on a per cell basis.
Default charge rate is 1000mA, IMO a bit high, potentially cooking your cells, particularly for 'AAA' cells.

Summary: Great battery charger
Comment: I did a lot of research on battery chargers and was deciding between the BC-700 and the BC-900 charger. I chose the BC-700 charger because it lacks the ultra quick charge functions of the BC-900 and I never want to charge my batteries at a quick rate as that damages the batteries. The BC-700 works like a charm. After learning that I got it, my dad brought over a stack of dead batteries that he just couldn't get to hold a charge anymore. After putting the batteries through the "Refresh" cycle, all were back up to a full charge. My dad now owns a BC-700 too!
