  Verified purchase

  The first one burned out after about 20 charges and no longer charged, so it was replaced... the second one is fine for now.
  The downside is that it does not automatically detect the charging time, you have to find/know the battery type in mah and set it to 3/6/9/15 hours accordingly (the instructions show approximately what charging should be done).
  It says to only charge GP batteries underneath (the store didn't mention it when I bought it), but I also use other brands, so essentially it is only for batteries from the same company.
  Also, when the batteries are fully charged, it goes into trickle charge (the yellow light turns on) which keeps them charged, but I'm not sure if this is good for NiMH batteries, so it's best to remove them immediately after charging.
  It charges AA/AAA/C/D at 270 mah, so it's not too slow to take up the whole day, but not too fast to damage the batteries, satisfactory in my opinion, the 9V is at a much lower mah.
  The battery test (does not work for 9V) is not objective for me because some digital devices consider the battery low at 1.20 - 1.30V to avoid malfunctioning with lower V, so it sees them as not needing charging, or I have some batteries stored for months and it sees them as charged but when I put them on they don't work in those specific digital devices, they need charging (except for flashlights, analog radios, and simple devices, it handles those correctly).
  I never used the discharge function.
  On the positive side, it charges 1-4 batteries (but not different types of batteries, only the same type with different mah each - as GP says in the instructions to avoid damage) and if we want each one separately, personally a big advantage because I have devices that take 3 batteries and this does the job for me.
  I hope it lasts this time, apart from the quirk of knowing the approximate charging scale, it is EXCELLENT

  Battery charger for all sizes (including 2x9V), but only for NiMH batteries.
  It was tested by charging batteries of another reputable brand other than GP (1.2V and 9V), and the batteries were charged satisfactorily.
  It is not a fast charger, so it requires a considerable amount of time, but it has separate channels for each battery, charges with lower current intensity, ensuring a more accurate charging for each battery.
  Among its positives are the small LED indicators for charging (and for completion - only for 1.2V).
  The interruption of charging likely resets the timer, which I found somewhat negative, as well as the lack of (quality or bar) measurements during the cycle.
  In summary, it is recommended, provided we are talking about an average user who has typical requirements from a charger.
