NiMH cell charging

charger

Really? A C9000 and deluxe case is $65 including shipping at Thomas. Newegg wants $66 with shipping but no case. The cheapest Amazon vendor wants $65 including shipping, but again no storage case. 17StreetPhoto wants $67.40 including shipping, but no case. Thomas is looking good to me.

I bought a dozen of the new type low-discharge NiMH AA cells from Thomas. Love them. I'll never buy regular NiMH cells again.

Don't use 'em, but thanks.

And the extra cost. Main question is do you *need* an 8-cell charger? If so, get the C801D, and get a cheaper charger for the car. The heavy duty power supply for the C801 is nice. I used to have a MH-C808M charger that had the same type of supply. The C801 is the Cadillac of chargers, no doubt, but unless you need the 8-cell capacity, I'd go with the C9000.

Good suggestion, then if i needed more capacity i could just in the future buy a second one.

One more consideration: The C801 and its power supply require about FOUR times more bench space than does the C9000.

But technically does it do a better job or is the firmware and its capabilities very similar to the C9000?

capabilities

Dunno. Have neither. I get by just fine with my ol' C401FS. I didn't like the cell contacts in the 808. Don't know if the 801 uses the same contacts.

As I said, if you need 8 cell capability or want to spend 50% more money, get the C801. Otherwise, go for the C9000. JMO.
