My previous post was about how AA batteries have taken over my life. Â The 800s charges NiMH & NiCd batteries (not that anyone used NiCd anymore). Â It reconditions and deep charges the batteries. Â In addition each battery is charged on an independent channel, so you can charge multiple sets of batteries at varying levels of charge, and they will all be optimally charged. Â I use this in conjunction with my MB-D10 and well, it just works. Â I use 8 eneloops with 8 backup eneloops, I have never had to dip into the backups, and I shoot a lot. Â There is also a small LCD screen on the front of charging unit that shows the status of the charge. Â No more guessing whether red is good or blinking green means charging.
