Can the charger charge any number of batteries (1, 2, 3 or 4), or must it charge them in pairs. (I've seen conflicting answers.)

They must be charged in pairs for the charger to work correctly, hope this helps , have a great day, sandy..

I have charged 2 at a time, and 4 at a time. To date, I have not tried 2 AA's with 2 AAA's. It is a reliable charger.

Yes, this will make the charger think that multiple batteries are one big battery. The charger will peak all the batteries and stop. Works great for 1S lipos. I would not recommend it for 2S and above however because you cannot balance charge each.

Because two batteries charge at close to the same rate, and are not identical in their depletion, the charger stops charging the first battery that's full, charging only the one battery that's left. Sounds like it should be able to do only one.

I've used it fo 2 31series batteries I think it would depend on the size and condition. It would probably maintain them but I dont think it would adiqilutly charge 4 batteries unless they were small

It can charge up to 4 batteries at a rate of 6 amps each. A 20 amp could do the job if you are not charging 4 packs at full capacity at once. A 30 amp power supply is a safe place if you are going to charge multiple batteries at once. Here's a good 20 AMP supply. Racer's Edge 20 Amp, 13.5V DC Dual Output RC Power Supply with USB

The unit will charge any combination of one to eight AA and/or AAA NiMH batteries, regardless of mAH rating. Mix and match - the charger doesn't know and doesn't care.

If your 1amp charger is 12 volt AND you charge the batteries 1 at a time. I use my 2 amp charger from time to time.

All Battery chargers can charge 1 at a time. If it was made for 2 battery at a time consumers will be in trouble because if one battery is defective the charger will do you no good.

I also would not recommend doing that. On a 2 bank charger there are 4 connections 2 pos. and 2 neg. connecting all 4 to 1 battery would not be possible. If your device calls for 1 battery purchase a 1 bank charger.

The charger is able to charge 4 AA, AAA, C, or D batteries plus 2 9-volt batteries at a time. It can only handle 4 of each of the aforementioned batteries at a time however. Hope that makes sense.

The charger is identifying whether the batteries are appropriate. It should begin charging in a steady light if the batteries are deemed appropriate. It will not charge just any battery.

It can charge any combination of batteries. The smart feature senses the battery and optimal charge level in each slot independently. I charge AA and AAA together all the time.

Yes, you can charge from 1 to how ever many it will hold. It really is a nice charger. i would recommend it. I've had mine forever and it still works just like new.

No this charger will only hold 2 batteries at a time. It will not charge AAA batteries.

It will charge multiple batteries so long as there set up for a twelve volt setup I average about 4 amps so one battery or ten the only difference would be how long it takes to charge them.

Michael: you cab charge up to 4 AA, AAA, C, or D NiMH or NiCd batteries at one time. It will also charge 2 9V rechargable batteries. It's a great charger and will also charge USB devices (MP3, I-Pad, etc.

Yes, this charger should be able to charge and maintain 4 of almost any size battery. If they are all discharged it may take quite some time to bring them to 100% as it will only run 1.1 amp per line when 4 batteries are connected.
