When I was looking at what battery charger to get for my smoking new Fenix TK40 I decided to go with the Maha charger Powerex MH-C9000 .
This is not only a battery charger but also a battery analyzer.
The maha charger can refresh dead batteries and has a whole heap of other features.  Which I will go through here and do a quick review of.

So firstly, why did I get this fancy maha charger instead of something like the Sanyo battery charger shown below?

Well to perfectly honest I can’t remember why I got this Sanyo charger in the first place.  I have had if for a while and have even forgot where I bought it from. I think that I must have bought some rechargeable batteries and this came with them as a package deal or special etc.

Does this charger work? sure it does.
It does both AA and AAA rechargeable batteries.  Just pop in the batteries and plug it into the power point and away you go.
But for me, being a slight tech geek I like to have the best of the best.  If you are like me then you too should take a look at the Maha MH-C9000 wizard charger I’m about to show you.

The Maha Powerex MH-C900 AA And AAA Battery Charger, Analyser, Restorer.

The charger has the capacity for charging both AA batteries and AAA batteries.

If you look at the picture to the left, you can see where the battery marking is and then at the bottom it shows the two different slots. The AAA ones sit down lower into the unit as they are much shorter than the AA’s.  This charger can only handle 4 batteries at a time.

Here you can see the big easy to read LED screen. The options you see are, charge, refresh/analyze, break-in, discharge and cycle.  These are all features that make this a top of the line device for fixing old dead battery’s and bringing them back to life, when other chargers can not.

This photo shows the backside of the unit.

The only thing I do not like about the charger is this little fold out leg.

The leg is there to prop the unit up at an angle to help the air flow and circulate around it. The problem I have is that I can not get my finger under the metal leg to lift it up. There is not much room. I seem to always chew my finger nails and I do not have enough length in them to lever up that leg. So I have to use a knife or something else to prop it up.

Why don’t I use my fingernails you say, well I keep chewing the damn things and they ain’t very long, lol.
That fold out stand is no real big deal, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

This shot shows you the side profile of the unit. It’s slightly bigger than the average side hand when you have your hand flat.

And it comes with the wall plug or “wall wart” as some people call it, lol.

Reviews of the MH-C9000 MAHA battery charger

This charger rescued all my AA batteries, February 9, 2009

I have 12 AA Energizer rechargeable batteries. After using for more than 3 years on camera and other devices, all of them were dying. For the past 3 years, I recharged them by using Energizer charger in 15 minutes, they could last only for 10-20 shots on Canon digital camera. After I read reviews of this product, I would like to give it a try. After analyzing all of the dying batteries, some of them were even below 100 mAh(the full capacity is 2200 mAh, some are 2300 mAh), but after following the simple instructions, I rescued all of my batteries, all of them are above 1800 mAh (with one exception — 1460 mAh) some even close to 2000 mAh. For more than 3-year-old batteries, I am very satified with the results.
Also, in the manual, there are some important knowledge regarding battery recharge. If you have some dying batteries, this product is the perfect rescuer for you.

I bought this charger to replace several basic chargers that had accumulated over the years. The problem with them was that I was never sure whether the batteries were fully charged, or whether one cell in the group was faulty and limiting performance of the whole set, etc.

The Maha MH-C9000 takes away the doubt and gives me confidence that the cells are being charged properly. The display gives all the information I need to know the status of each cell (4 completely independent and programmable channels) and it lets me fully control the charging process. This is of great value to me.

The charger reports the actual capacity of each cell based on the current delivered during the discharge cycle in the programs that do discharging, so you know after the cycle is complete what the capacity of each cell is, and you can use that to match the cells for use in groups; and also to determine which cells need more cycling to return their capacity.

Great charger, I am so glad I bought this baby.

It isn’t a simple plug-into-the-wall charger. It is a for-serious, consistent charger. I use it to recharge batteries for my Wiimotes and for my camera flashes. I have been very impressed with its performance so far.

5/5.
