The ARE-A4 is a nice

"The ARE-A4 is a nice 4 channel charger. You can select to monitor the charging voltage, current or time independently for each channel. You can charge different sizes and types of batteries at the same time. Each channel is completely independent. The charger accommodates a wide range of battery sizes. This means that very small diameter batteries such as AAA are a little fidgety to keep centered on the positive charge contact, but they usually still charge fine even if they slip off center. Might be room for improvement there. The unit also works fine charging off a 12V vehicle power point. The trick is finding the right size barrel plug to connect to the ARE-A4. Fenix does not currently sell a DC adapter or list the barrel plug sizing for some reason. I experimented and found that a 4.0x1.7mm barrel plug seems to fit best. However, some 4.0x1.35mm and 3.5x1.35mm barrel plugs also work. The charger has no programmable settings. It auto selects the appropriate charging parameters based on the battery chemistry, so it is very easy to use. It charges quickly at reasonable charges rates. The current drops to zero when the charge completes. The display stays lit during charging, which I like."

Excellent Charger

"Works great and easy to use with separate monitors for each of the 4 charging channels. It simply handles all of my Li-ion, Ni-MH and Ni-Cd battery sizes. Highly recommended!"

Three things absolutely love

"Three things absolutely love with this battery charger: 1. It can easily charge several sizes of Fenix batteries at the same time. 2. It does not need special power adapter. Just plug in standard power cable (included) into 110 volt outlet. Provides plenty of power (amps) to quickly charge even the biggest Fenix batteries. 3. You can monitor charging progress of each battery by simply looking at the display for status."
