The 2014 new version is called BC-720 (or RS-720) and has the new LX processor:

Now with LX processor for both faster charging and more cool charging

Any reviews on this? Is it any good? Better than the i4 V2?

That's not a replacement for the BC-1000. Its max charge current is 700 mA. If anything, it's an update for the BC-700.

i wonder what improvements it has over the bc700 which seems to miss some terminations

Support Nickel based batteries only from what I can read (NiCad NiMh etc)

Finally the RS-720 was in stock and I jumped on it! I really did not want to go for the RS-1020 as I already had the batteries (and the bag) and just wanted an upgrade to the charger only. Will report here when I compare it side by side. Btw, this charger is the same as RS-1020 right ?

Could you give the link to the RS-720?

It’s normally the first link when you google for “rs-720 lacrosse” but let me save you the trouble …

good old akon’s site ……

Came up empty when Amazon was searched as I thought you got it there. Don’t have the answer for your question. Hope somebody come along with the answer.

Going to try out some charging on this guy to see what it can do. It however comes with the “36” version of the software.
