Not a bad idea, but the picture of each charger already shows the number of cell that can be used in it.
Strike that commentā¦. there is already a column for number of slots. Anything besides what is listed already would be clutter, IMHO.
I really do like the key to the rating system also KHJ. I like it better than using a ābig smileyāā¦ this makes it easier to understand I think.
I do not believe I can do that. I cannot see a good way to add that information to the list. I am not sure it will be a good idea to fill more information into the slot column.
I have updated the original post with the latest improvements.
Thinking a bit about it, I found a way. Now I will color the numbers in the two single slot current columns red, if the charger need a pair to charge.
I have updated the table.
I cannot promise that 100%, other good ideas may show up.
I am also wondering about how many different indexes to generate (The only work for me is the initial configuration, after that it will be automatic):
All charges
NiMH only chargers
Universal chargers (NiMH+LiIon)
LiIon chargers (Any charger with support for LiIon)
Analyzers (All chemistries)
Good chargers
Bad chargers
Chargers with power bank function
USB powered chargers
Chargers support >70mm long cells.
It can easily be too many, I will have to limit it.
Might be nice if it was possible to sort by clicking on the the desired column, like slots, current, charger name etc. Itās always frustrating to have to through the entire table to find a specific charger. Most of the time if itās not possible to sort I donāt even bother.
For me, Iād be happy with just the basics:
All charges
NiMH only chargers
Universal chargers (NiMH+LiIon)
LiIon chargers (Any charger with support for LiIon)
Analyzers (All chemistries)
For chargers that support >70mm long cells, maybe you could color the max cell length in green in the table? That would make it stand out a little more for people looking for that.

With permission, I could import the data in a few hours. Iād be willing to do it without any form of compensation either, meaning none of my affiliate links anywhere on the page. I didnāt do any of the work, after all.
HKJ, if you are curious what this could potentially be, I can throw together a private prototype just for you to look at. If you donāt like it, it will be deleted.
It is less than 200 entries, it is not much for a search database.
I have nothing against a parametric search, but for me the problem is that maintaining another index would be more work (I do add a new entry about once a week).
