Voltij

I've had a lot on my mind lately so it was great to blow the cobwebs away and try and kill the Voltij again.
The Slope is Porthgwarra near Lands End. Bit cocked off but still spanking fun - thanks Vic!

Technoline BL700 charger

It's not often I get stuff that exceeds my expectations but this clever little rascal is absolutely fab.  I've got dozens of Eneloops in remotes, toothbrushes, micro heli TXs, camera flashes etc etc. and the wall chargers just seem to simmer the poor little suckers into submission.  
Whereas the Technoline BL700 charges them individually at up to 700 mAh, it'll cycle them until it finds their max capacity, it'll discharge and it tell you how much it's put in each cell.  Plus you can do any of that to each cell individually at the same time.
I've already been through dozens of cells bringing their capacity back up to scratch again.  Best £30 I've spent in a while!
