Let?s take a closer look at the charger, you notice air holes on the top for cooling, four charging 'poles' the charger is very light.

Once I was ready I plugged the charger into the socket and the LCD came do life with a blue light and the words Uniross where displayed on screen. I popped in my drained Uniross 2500Ma Ni-mAh rechargeable batteries and it started charging, then noise start to come from the charger, it has a fan in the charger which blows out of the air holes on the top :shock:.

About 15mins later the battery had charged and the charger was in trickle mode, what Uniross call Maintenance charge which is used to maintain the maximum energy level this continues for about 30 - 45 minutes after which the battery is fully charged, I've made a little video.PROS:b>

LCD for individual battery charge display.

15min charge.

Works with both 110/240 volts.

Charges any rechargeable Ni-MH and Ni-Cd.CONS:b>

Pricey.

Loud due to fan.

Need 30-40mins to fully charge.

Force required getting batteries into and out of charge.

When removing batteries, the end at the bottom may rip the battery skin.Source:b> Dan's Dome

I had d chance to use a friend's set and noticed that when he loaded the batteries onto the compartments; d jackets were scratched badly.

He said that it was unavoidable as he was told when he bought it that due to the high charging current, the spring loader at the top must be very tight and so when loading onto the compartment, the bottom of the jacket will be scratched. The batteries were very hot even with the fan. It will be worst than putting your batteries under the Summer hot sun on your dashboard.

Believe that only the special light blue 15min batteries (2100mAh only) will be charged in 15min but any normal rechargeable ones will take about 60mins or so depending on the original charge status. It CANNOT charge Ni-Cd.

The instruction says that you can load when powered, I was wondering would you want to have your fingers between 12V at 6500mAh contacts?

The very reason we professional want to use fast charging is that we need the batteries for professional use. The 2100mAh batteries were low entry level and not suitable for our use.

This one is for something about VIDPRO 1hr charger with 2700mAh batteries at US$29.85!!!

As I asked my friend, this Uniross charger will not be able to charge 2600mAh above as the safety timer will cut off so you will not get max power from these new batteries.

Therefore I am not sure if it is really worth that price......just a thought after experiencing the product for trial.

I was quite confused after reading some forum and visiting some websites. I found there are many China manufacturers offering chargers which appear similar to their range on websites.

http://www.vanson.com.hk/index.html

This website showed products of the CR-V3 and Mini plug-in.

http://www.eastbloom.com.hk/cframe.html

This website showed products of the small travel charger.

http://www.everfast.com.hk/catalog/battery...rs-c-23_34.html

This website showed products of the compact charger.

http://www.everfast.com.hk/catalog/15-minu...a-aaa-p-79.html

This website showed products of the 15min charger.

Please have a visit to these websites and compare.

    • For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
