Review of the La Crosse Technology BC-700 Alpha Power Battery Charger

John Ehle
Being an American consumer in this day in age, I've found it pretty difficult not to use a battery powered device at some point throughout the day. No matter if you eat through batteries listening to your favorite MP3's, use a battery operated flash light or any other portable device, using rechargeable batteries for these popular items can be one of the best ways to cut costs and help keep landfills free from the dangerous chemicals disposable types leak out after being discarded.

The La Crosse Technology BC-700 Alpha Power Battery Charger offers a better alternative to disposable alkaline battery users. With rechargeable batteries you can save money in the long run as well as frequent trips to the store in order to buy them.

What makes the La Crosse Technology BC-700 Alpha Power Battery Charger so special is the ability to charge both AA and AAA batteries in one handy compact device. This advanced charger will allow you to get the most out of your rechargeable batteries by offering different charging methods including battery discharging and conditioning in order to get the most out of your investment.

The La Crosse Technology BC-700 Alpha Power Battery Charger also provides separate LCD screen readouts to monitor the progress and voltage capacity for each individual battery cell. You do not have to worry about overcharging your batteries as the La Crosse Technology BC-700 Alpha Power Battery Charger has protection circuits to prevent it.

Since buying this product nearly six months ago, the La Crosse Technology BC-700 Alpha Power Battery Charger has more than paid for itself when it comes to the cost I would have incurred from buying regular disposable batteries for my most used cordless devices. I like the fact that the charger has a setting to control the charging rates and is compatible with both NiCad and NiMH varieties.

My only gripe is that it would have been a great addition to add "C" sized battery charging to its options in addition to AA and AAA. However for the most part, I use the existing supported battery sizes the most.

I highly recommend the La Crosse Technology BC-700 Alpha Power Battery Charger to anyone wanting to save money on batteries in the long run or to anyone that wants to save themselves frequent trips to buy the disposable type. To date, I have had any issues with the charger and it has more jam packed features than any of its competitors.
