Brilliantly useful device. October 2, 2008
A universal smart charger such as this should be a standard part of any airsoft player's arsenal. By cutting the time it takes to charge batteries by perhaps over 80% it will make any player (and team, for that matter) increadibly more effective. Some reasons are as follows:
Metal gearbox Automatic Electric Guns (AEGs) are for the most part unrivaled in terms of overall capability on the airsoft field. Charging their batteries with typical wall chargers however takes many hours, necessitating that airsoft battles be planned far in advance. This smart charger thus enables you to play more impromptu.
Furthermore, with wall chargers the possibility of a failed or partial charge always exists. One may be in the middle of a day of airsoft and start to whitness their AEGs firepower rapidly decline until soon it lacks the power to shoot. Unless you have another battery on hand you will be done for the day, but with the rapid charger you can atleast make another attempt at recharging your battery.
This brings up another great point; that by having the ability to recharge your batteries in a reasonable period of time, the chance to play for far longer periods of time. If you have two or more batteries to alternate with, how long a day of airsoft lasts becomes limited now only by your pellet supply, personal, team, and opposition endurance, etc, but no longer by your battery. As with a true military campaign, having control of your logistics is often the key to victory. In airsoft you realize this when you whitness yourself reaching for your spring plinker to face a machinegun nest.
As for complaints, I have yet to find any noteworthy faults with this tool. Cost is a mentionable downside, as a total of around $32 for a charger may seem pricy compaired to working with the slow chargers that are normally packaged with your AEG. However, for a serious airsoft player, and even more so for a team, the convieniance combined with the additional hours and flexibilit of play will make the Universal Smart Charger well worth the cost.
Good if you don't have time to wait May 30, 2008
This product is good since it doesn't over heat your battery (brake), but don't get it if you don't need to charge it over night or if you don't mind plugging it out after the desired charge time. Use it for airsoft, or any other battery really.
