This charger is the perfect partner for you're battery charging needs. It charges a 3500mha 7.2v battery in just 40 minutes.
You can charge your batteries using the car battery conectors or the 110-v ac conector. It also cames with a battery charge monitor that bliks in every charge step of the battery, 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. Once it reach the 100% it stays blinking with the green led indicating the peak-charge that will leave your baterry full of charge.
The only point that I want to clear out is that the interface to select 1-A 2-A or 4-A charge load is very tricky. I always charge my packs at 4-A so I don't have any problem but I haven't been able to activate te other charging modes. Even more, if I choose to change the charge mode, I get all the led lights blinking and no charge. It's a detail, because the overall of the charger is very good.
A must have product.
High quality and long-lasting made. It has a Tamiya conector for the batteries.

Do Not Buy This Charger,

I just purchased this charger yesterday and hooked it up to a 6 cell 7.2 volt 4500mAh Ni-MH battery to test it out. As the first reviewer stated, it would not charge on the 1 or 2 amp settings, only 4 amps which is a little much as most people suggest 2-3 amps.
So I let it charge at 4 amps and periodically kept an eye on it to see how it was doing and it never moved from the 0-25% bracket. One hour went by, then 2 and 3 hrs and still no movement to indicate any more charge. Then I began to fiddle with the settings that let you switch between 4-7 cell battery charging and it showed 76-100% for a 5 cell battery which it shouldn't because it's a 6 cell (the battery was new as well so it wasn't that).
So I decided to put it in my stock Super ClodBuster and run it. I got maybe 10 min. of run time before it started to slow down and eventually run out of charge. For 4500mAh battery, I should get at least 2-3 times more than that. So something here wasn't right, the...Read more

This review is from: Vision Peak 2 AC/DC Peak Charger (Toy)
this is good charger for its price, it can charges a 8.4v 5000mah in about 50 min when using 4 amp.
its very easy to use.
i have one problem with it, many times i restart the charger because it giving me error and all the lights are blinking. after restarting it fine.
**Update**
i found that charger is giving false peak of the battery charge, its giving me 70% of the full charge and then the green lead goes on.
i can use my car after that for 10 to 12 min. max.
i charged the same battery with another charger and i played with it for about 25 min.
i should join the others and give only one star.
