With the added interest now in using NiMh batteries on some eZee bikes, and wanting a discharging charger for myself, I've finally got round to thoroughly testing a suitable one for recommendation. This charger performs the normal charging function, but in addition can discharge the battery cells nearly down to 1 volt per cell to refresh them and get the best battery life.
All NiMh batteries benefit from refreshing in this way and to this level.
In addition, it can maintain a trickle charge at end of charge of less than one twentieth standard rate (C.05) to maintain a battery's fully charged state over time. Read the caution on site about using this trickle mode.
Bought from the USA, the sorry state of the dollar currently means a very favourable rate of exchange, and the charger cost me just £28.20 plus P & P, which could have been as little as £36.35 total with the lowest P & P.
Full details of this bargain are on my Torq website here.
