update
Pros: Update to my previous review. I had said the charger broke, but it WAS in fact the ac adapter as I suspected. When I contacted MAHA via their website to ask the specs of the adapter (i.e. the precise size of the plug) so that I could replace it to see if that fixed the charger, they volunteered to replace the adapter for free even though it was out of warrantee, and it arrived quite quickly.
Cons: As I said before, really bright screen.
broke after 100 days
Pros: Charges batteries individually so you can charge batteries of different capacities at same time.
Cons: Unnecessarily bright screen. Stopped working after about 100 days. I suspect the dc adapter.
Overall Review: It has a program that is supposed to bring rechargeables that lost their capacity to hold a charge back to life. I tried this on a pair I had but it didn't work. That doesn't mean it doesn't work, just not in my case. Mine were probably beyond help. I only mention it so that you don't get your hopes up for the old rechargeable batteries you thought this might be able to fix.
DOA
Pros: Thin and light.
Cons: DOA. Not the easiest install. Follow the directions, do not take off the bottom of the case!
Overall Review: The Russian Revolution was neither Russian nor a revolution.
