Do I need advanced charger or use DMM to know battery condition? (with pics!)

I have a MAHA C9000 for testing and charging my AA and AAA nimh-batteries. Not exactly budget, but very nice.

I have also sent for a Opus BT-C3100 V2.0 in a group buy here on this forum. Seems to be a good deal and a decent charger. Not perfect, but decent. It can analyze and charge both nimh and li-ion. And you can specify the charge current so the nimh batteries don’t get too warm.

I will mainly use it to monitor the capacity of my li-ion batteries, and to charge some 26650. I will most likely keep using my Pila IBC for charging 18650 and my MAHA C808M or the MAHA C9000 to charge nimh.
