 Not a bad charger for the money. May 19, 2004

After a couple bad experiences with DigiPower and their battery chargers they sent me the DPS-3000+ as a replacement for my older DPS-1000 unit. This item came with four (4) 2300 mAh AA NiMH batteries. A nice break from their older chargers this one comes with an adapter and a nice long power cable so you no longer need to find a free wall outlet to completely cover with your charger. The unit will charge either AA or AAA batteries and either two (2) or four (4) at a time. It also features an automatic trickle charge feature so batteries remain 'topped off' with no danger of over charging. It's relatively speedy at charging batteries. It is compact enough to fit on the corner of your desk or anywhere convenient. And it doesn't get all that hot like their older chargers used to. I keep two batteries 'fresh' in the charger and two batteries in my camera at all times and it seems to work well for me. All in all it's a good charger for the money. Although DigiPower's customer support leaves something to be desired (long contact delays, misread emails, etc.) they're willing to back their products fully.

The charger comes with four 2500mAh "Digipower" NiMH AA batteries, an AC adapter (120V AC input, 12V 500mA DC output), and a car cigarette lighter cord to provide 12V. The charger has 2 LED's, a red and a green, to indicating charging and ready. There's also a switch to select 2 or 4 batteries.
It can also apparently charge AAA batteries. The label on the back of the charger indicates output (charge) current for each combination: 4xAA: 700mA, 2xAA: 1000mA, and 2xAAA: 350mA given 12V input.
The manufacture date is 4 months ago.
Update: clarification on the rating. It can only charge 2 or 4 batteries at a time. This suggests that it is not capable of providing each battery with the amount of charge required for the battery, but that it groups the batteries and charges until the average charge level of the group reaches a certain level. This may mean that some of the batteries aren't fully charged and other batteries are overcharged, resulting in shorter life. If it could charge any number of batteries individually (like my other AA battery charger), I would have given it 5 stars.

The construction of the charger allows it to lose connection with the batteries= no charge. It overcharged/heated the included batteries to over 140F- I couldn't even handle them bare handed. It is, in my opinion, a piece of junk. I would not buy one of these... I should've listened to the other reviews.

This battery charger works quickly and doesn't seem to use a lot of electricity. I also love the car charging feature, which allows me to charge while driving to take more pictures.

I purchased this 2 weeks ago. It does not work. I put the batteries in the charger. The red "charging" light came on for about 15 minutes, then it went off. The green "fully charged" light never came on. I installed the batteries in my digital camera (my camera takes 2 of the AA). I took 4 pictures and the battery low indicator came on. I tried the batteries in my friend's digital camera (different make and model), same thing, with any/all of the batteries. I tried charging the batteries again, and again. Same thing every time --- charging light comes on for less than 20 minutes, then goes off, and the fully charged light never comes on. The batteries do not get anywhere near a full charge, and the batteries get very, very hot while in the charger. It appears to be of questionable quality. I will be returning it and asking for a refund. I do not recommend the product.
