If I didn't already have one, I would be jumping on this. Great charger.

I just decided to look at recent posts before turning off the computer and eating dinner.

I had checked Amazon this morning to see the price of the charger and it was still high.

AMAZING, it's down again for a while at least. I missed it last time.

THANKS to Sparky28 for reposting it. Not all of us choose to have recent posts to old threads appear as a priority. Guess I should consider it though I'd have missed this if not for what the mods considered to be a REPOST and which I consider to be a GREAT POST to clue me in to a deal again active!

I second that, especially since I view the bajillions of deals on FW by originating topic, not by last message. I can understand the need to eliminate clutter, but sometimes I think the mods have a tendency to be lock-happy. I just hope their habit of locking threads doesn't prevent people from posting revived deals as new topics or I'd never find out about deals like this.

I agree. Had I seen this post again I would have ignored it. The BC-900 is always out of stock or over priced. Now it was actually at that price... so I bought it. Thank you!

• Can someone who own this charger answer some usage questions? Sure!
  
  
• Does it default to charging mode or does it need to be set each time. Defaults to CHARGE
  
  
• If I only put batteries in for charging, what is the default charging rate? 200ma
  
  
• If I prefer a different default charging rate, do I have to set it each time and for all 4 individual batteries?
  For other than 200ma, you have to set it. But, you can set GROUPS at a time (2,3,4).
  Besides RATE, you can also select individual MODE (CHARGE, DISCHARGE, REFRESH, TEST).
  
  
• Does it remember what I previously set? No.

SEARCH the Archives - I posted a LONG answer within the past year, IIRC...

Here is a non-graphics, non-scanned(?) (i.e., much smaller in size and clearer) version of the manual directly from the manufacturer:

I have Duracell batteries from an Amazon deal last year, but they barely have any staying power in the Logitech wireless keyboard I use. This is different from my previous experience w/ NiMH rechargeable batteries.

Maybe I need this La Crosse charger (and some of the Sanyo Eneloop batteries)?

Placed the order Wednesday, Oct 24, AFTERNOON arrived Saturday, Oct 27 afternoon mail!

Never did have any delivery tracking. Just an e-mail that it had been shipped.

Mine was shipped through USPS. Tracking info is on Amazon.com website.

Back up again for $39.99 with free shipping.

Get it while it's hot.

I ordered two of these about a year ago, one as a present, one for myself. Well, they were sent in two big boxes, which was weird. There was one charger in one box, and a box of chargers in the other box. Yes, the second box had a case of 5 chargers. Made me wonder what the heck someone was thinking when they were fulfilling the order sheet at the distributor.

I did give the extra ones away as gifts on birthdays and whatnot, and they're being put to good use. I use mine very regularly, and it's been great.

Get it while it's hot.What are you talking about? I've looked several times in the past months and it's always at $39.99. I've been trying to catch it cheaper and have it sitting in my cart. Hasn't once been more that I've seen, unless it's just been so for a week or so and I missed it. I can't understand anyone getting excited over what's still the regular Amazon price for pete sake.
