Hot! Price drop! Linky, ASIN B00077AA5Q. This is the old thread, but I think this price entails a new thread title.
Yes, the link has a referral that benefits OCEF, a non-profit charity organization registered with IRS as a 501 (c) (3), dedicated to help less-privileged children in rural areas of China to finish their education up to 9th grade. See also OCEF Shop To Help. OCEF earns 4%-8.5% of your Amazon order total for the poor needy Chinese elementary school students in rural areas. An order with 1 BC-900 charger earns them about $1.75, at the current Chinese RMB/US Dollar exchange rate, that almost means textbook costs for one student for one semester.
Since in FatCash Program Amazon.com has 0%, I added the referral to OCEF. However, if mod thinks this is not appropriate, please remove it.

I picked 2 of these up last year.. these are really as good as the reviews mention. I had a bunch of off-brand "dead" NiMH batteries, it rescued all of them and returned them to service (and they've been fine for the past year). Very good charger if you use a lot of AA or AAA rechargeables!

Quick question since you have these. First of all, I did order one, thanks OP.
My dilemma is having one that can charge 4 AAA's at the same time. Can this do that? I got my son an XMOD RC car from Radio Shack for XMAS and it uses 4 AAA batts. My current charger from Costco will do 4AA at a time or 2AAA. THanks in advance.
Right, can't beat that. I got one at $39.99, but the 4pk NiMH AAA batteries were missing so Amazon nicely credited $7. Today I asked for the $5 difference ($39.99 -> $34.99) and got approved. So the final cost is close to $28, without the rechargeable AAA batteries that are not very useful and I don't need anyway.

Thanks to the OP in the original La Crosse thread.
