Is there any difference between the "Advanced Battery Charger" & the "Advanced Individual Battery Charger Pro" other than being white vs. black in color?? They are both imprinted "BQ-CC17" (Model #), but, they are listed as separate products, &, have slightly different names (i.e., "pro" on the black one).

The white one is marketed for the white eneloop batteries, whereas the black one is is marketed for the black eneloop pro batteries. The black batteries last longer per use but have only about a third of the lifespan.

The same BQ-CC17 charger is bundled with both the 4th-gen eneloop (white) cells, and the 'eneloop Pro' (black) cells. The only difference is in the color: white charger goes with white cells, black charger goes with black cells.

Hi Dan...I bought the charger to analyze some 14.4 volt batteries from an unknown source. Here's what I said in my review: "It handles the batteries OK but the chargers autopsy pronounced them unresponsive. The next challenge is to find a battery replacement. Hitachi makes one that appears to have the right electrical tabs but I have to see it in person before I'm sure it's the right one." It is a "universal" charger which means a number of batteries from 14 to 18 volts fit the slots. I don't know what batteries Harbor Freight use in their tools but I bet they are some of China's "best". Their web site was no help....

They are the same batteries. I guess they chose different colors to make it easier for you to seperate which batteries are charged and which need recharging after you stert usiung them.

the charger looked the same, the only difference was when it is charging the computer, the light is always blue. it does not change from red to green like my original charger did. I have had the charger for a few months and it has worked so far. hope this helps.

Hey, thanks for that info. I'm glad that I used this 'post' to get your input. My 'new' 4250 has 'shipped', just got the e-mail. I'll let you know if mine has the AC Wall Charger included in the box.Thanks, again, You made my day!!!

I can give you my limited experience with chargers. My previous charger destroyed my batteries because I didn't take them out when they were through charging. Maybe my mistake, but who wants to be stuck waiting for the charger to finish? I have used this charger quite a bit lately and love it!! I have AA and AAA batteries in many many devices around the house. I charge Eneloop batteries in this La Crosse and it has functioned perfectly. Yes, I spent a lot of money on batteries and this charger. Has it been worth it to me? YES.

yes - no difference is apparent. Ive charged the new battery with the new and old charger.

I have a La-Crosse BC-1000 which I have used to it's fullest potential. It's a very intelligent and powerful charger allowing you to charge at different amperages (higher for quicker re-charge and lower for a better recharge) as well as being able to completely de-charge to eliminate battery memory issues that don't allow a full charge. You can charge AA's and AAA's at the same time and each of the 4 positions is independent of the other. In other words, when one cell is charged, it will discontinue charging the fully charged one and continue charging with the rest and so on. There a little spendy, but to get the most out of your batteries for years of use, it's a great charger. I have a La-Crosse BC-1000 which I have used to it's fullest potential.

I called the company to verify. I was told that the primary difference is that the P117 (which is newer and smaller) will charge faster than the P118 (30 minutes vs 1 hour). Both will charge all types of batteries, including Lithium Ion and NiCad. Batteries can be stored on either charger without damage. The P118 is being phased out.

Hi. You can see both icons. The battery that's active is bright. The second icon is more ghostlike...not as bright. The unit works well. I can only compare it to the Sony battery grip for my A700 and functionally, there's no discernible difference in the operation of the two units.

Yes...but the difference is minimal. This charger is well made, yet inexpensive. I have had no issues with it.

The charger in the package you mentioned has the same model number (BCG-34HLD) as the one in this product page. So the only difference is in the four AA batteries included. Personally, I don't trust any NiMH AA cells with capacity 2500mAh or over. They all suffer from rapid-self-discharge problem after a few cycles. That's why I recommend using only low-self-discharge (Pre-Charged) type, such as those 2000mAh cells included in this package.

I am another customer as well, but I had the same concerns you did. I received a genuine Canon LC-E6 charger in an original Canon package when I ordered this. I compared it top to bottom with the one that came with my girlfriend's Canon D60 she purchased at Walmart. No difference. It has the Canon logo stamped in it, same stickers, everything. Charges my batteries great. Genuine Canon product.

CAUTION: As others have noted, these AmazonBasics "White Label" batteries (ASIN: B00422KWU0) are standard Alkaline & can not be compared to "Black Label" AmazonBasics AAA NiMH rechargeables (ASIN: B007B9NXAC)All AmazonBasics batteries, IMHO, have very poor and confusing label identities. My own personal experience makes me suspect that, sooner or later, there will be a charger related incident and some happy product liability attorneys.

I think the difference is in the way the batteries get charged by a step process where the voltage ramps up then ramps down . I have the Pm3 and it works great . Prior to this i had a Progressive Dynamics converter which is much more expensive . Dont waste your money on any other unit . The PM3 is a good solid converter with a good warranty.

Robert,I believe I have both and have notice no difference between the two. I don't let them run down and keep them on a regular charging cycle.

Is this just an expensive charger (snake oil) or will any battery charger charge AGM batteries? I already have 2 chargers, small 10 amp max and a full blown starter/charger.
