Should I get the PowerEx C204W charger instead of the C401FS -- is there really much difference?

The C401FS is still the more "powerful" and flexible, in that it comes with a car adapter (not even an option with the 204W since the adapter is built in), it has a "slow charger" switch for gentler treatment of older batteries, it can still charge any old NiCADs you might be using (the 204W is only rated for NiMH), and most of all, it can charge 1, 2, 3 or 4 batteries at a time, whereas the 204W can only charge in pairs. This last feature is sometimes a "deal breaker" if you were thinking of the 204W but have devices that take 1 or 3 batteries at a time. Again, one of the nicest new features of the C401FS is its ability to charge 1, 2, 3, or 4 batteries at a time, as opposed to only pairs in the C204W.

Doesn't seem like a big deal until you buy that new gadget that takes 3 batteries (which is becoming all too common), then dealing with the C204W can be frustrating. This feature means that the C401FS charger actually acts like 4 separate chargers, because you can start and any ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
