I've been doing some research and all indicators point to the Tekin BC112A/C as the best value in chargers today. I've heard a lot of good things about Novak's Millennium but it doesn't have some important features that the Tekin does. Like the Competition Electronics 35BL, the Tekin BC 112A/C has "Turbo Flex" charging where it's claimed to "regenerate" old cells by "burping" the bubbles from the cell. Also, it's claimed to remove the crystals that form within the cell which are attributed to "memory".

The Novak doesn't appear to have this feature which, IMHO, appears to be the most desirable thing you would want in a battery charger. Batteries are so expensive and if a charger can get you good performance and longer life then isn't that ideal?

yep, sprite, you beat me to it, hehe, it is the same general idea, and it breaks down the crsytalization that is going on inside the cell

Hey GO for the Novak it has many more Fratures and as for the "Power Flex" it does have it except it is called "reverse pulse".
And the MilleniuM also shows alot more about your battery as it is charging such as its mAh!!!!

I wouldn't go with Tekin, last i heard they had some $$$ problems. also, so many complaints on other forums about warranty and repairs issues taking over 6mths, and some no response.

i have a Novak Millenium myself, and its an awesome charger. but, if i were u, there's talk about Competition Electronic releasing a new charger, similar to the Millenium! this will be announced real soon.
