Hi- I have been participating in another thread (specific do Eneloop batteries) and it was brought up that there are clones of the LaCrosse BC-700 charger.
I am interested in learning more about these, if anybody can help. I did find the Technoline BC-700 in the UK, but nothing else came up on Google, Amazon, E-bay, or the several websites I checked that typically have things like that (DinoDirect, DealExtreme, and Manafont.)
Or, if there were other chargers with equivalent features and quality, but less than the original, I would be interested.
The staple shops in china and HK doesen't bother getting better chargers such as these. At 22GBP aint expensive at all. I paid for mine around 40€ without delivery.
I own the technoline BC-700 it is my main AA/AAA charger... here is the German Amazon site... I got mine bundled with some eneloops so I essentially paid like 15 € for it. Product description here. Manual here.
I think I might just go with this Titanium Innovations charger from Battery Junction at $27.95 + shipping since it's still cheaper than the BC-700 for me here in the USA and it has 8 bays.
