Buen Cargador
En un principio, pensé que la unidad y las baterías estaban malas. Las baterías no cargaban o retenían carga. El cargador no daba indicación de carga. Estuve probando todo por varias horas, sin ningún resultado positivo.Ya era de noche, cuando decidí empacar todo, para empezar el proceso de devolución. :-(De momento veo una especie de resplandor en los polos de las baterías. Descubro un pequeño y casi imperceptible pedazo de plástico que tapaba los polos de la batería, y había sido puesto en la fábrica.Con mucha dificultad, logro remover dicho plástico. Entonces encuentro que las baterías tienen carga (50%) y el cargador, no sólo lo indica, sino que procede a cargarlas sin problemas.Al momento, he usado el cargador para cargar la batería de mi teléfono Nokia (Para probar la capacidad de carga)No me ha dado más problemas desde entonces.

Got MORE than I expected - very pleased!
I was very pleased - I got more than I expected. I found this just looking for a spare battery - didn't need the charger too BUT when I saw it was a smart charger with a charge progression display - I was all for it and the additional spare battery was nice too. THEN when it came I saw it also had an external USB port so it could also be used as a charger for other things AND the charge progression indication functioned for that too - which I considered a real plus!! I didn't notice this feature in the description - but maybe I missed it.The only thing I could wish for was a bit more charge current - I understand it being a 1.3 A charger to charge the 1.3 Ahr battery its made for at the recommended 1C rate - but since it DOES have the external charge capability a full 2.4 A charge capability would be "icing on the cake".This is a GREAT product that I highly recommend - I'd buy it even to be used ONLY as a USB charger!

Charger display stuck showing 100% charged, regardless of whether no battery, a dead battery, or a full battery is inserted.
The batteries seem okay, I haven't used them enough yet to determine if they are actually at the rated capacity. However, the charger gets the one star because it quit working correctly after a couple hours. Initially, the charger display correctly showed the current charge state of a battery that was inserted. After charging three batteries, the display was stuck in the 100% full icon configuration, permanently. Shows 100% if a dead battery is inserted, shows 100% if a half-discharged battery is inserted, shows 100% as soon as you plug it in with no battery present. So, you have no information about the charge state of any battery, and you have no way of knowing if when it has finished charging a battery. I don't know what is going on, it worked normally for the first couple of batteries, and then just got stuck displaying 100%. I can see the utility of the movable contacts to charge other kinds of 3.7v batteries, but if you buy the charger just for charging the BL-5C batteries, it is a bit of a pain. I just taped mine in position. Right now all I can do is assume that it is charging batteries correctly if left in for several hours, I have no actual way of knowing since the display started showing nonsense after just a few hours of use.

The charger works fine. My only criticism is keeping the negative/positive contact ...
The charger works fine. My only criticism is keeping the negative/positive contact points in the correct position. A plus is it has a USB port so I can charge my smart phone also.

I like that you can put the battery in the charger and see how much charge it needs

Awesome batteries and charger
These batteries and charger have exceeded my expectations. I use them in a Bluetooth speaker for outings. Batteries are better than the original.
