Would you recommend this charger over the La Crosse and if so, why? Thanks

Full disclosure: I sell La Crosse products as well. The La Crosse BC-700 has been sold in it's present form for well over a decade. The La Crosse BC-1000 has come from other chargers but is the same basic charger with higher current capability and packaged with accessories. They have been tested in the market place and have good customer acceptance. They do have some issues however. Both can miss full charge condition with some cells and continue to overcharge. This is in my opinion due to the lack of resolution in the -dV detection circuits, most probably related to ADC resolution. The BC-1000 can overheat when charging 4 cells at maximum current of 1000 mA each. Those are the two biggest issues that I see with those chargers. From testing I tell tell you that the C2000 charger never misses -dV full charge detection. Now having said that I am sure someone somewhere will be able to find a cell to charge that will cause it to miss full charge detect but I have never seen it in all of the testing done. This charger does not have any heat issues charging 4 cells at maximum current 1000 mA. It does not even come close to thermal limits in that situation. Couple that with an easy to use interface, large back lighted display, and extra capabilities to do C & D cells as well. My choice is the OPUS C2000 between those chargers. For more information read the excellent reviews posted by some very knowledgeable posters.

Yes...but the difference is minimal. This charger is well made, yet inexpensive. I have had no issues with it.

I've used it to charge many different types of ni-cads and and ni-mh's. Seems to work very well. I have a few eneloop 1900 mah and they charge well. I have not had a lot of luck with the eneloop lasting very long since they are only 1.9amp so have changed to other larger amperage batteries. Energizer 2.3 and Precision 2.9amp. But the charger seems to handle all of them.

No, don't waste your money and time. Hope that helps. I have 2 chargers that don't work now. I only spent $6 but I feel like these guys are selling obsolete hardware that they purchase for pennies per piece and they charge $6. And its not worth to fight that amount.

No experience with that charger, but it should do the job. One note to radio operators; you cannot run the charger when receiving as it creates much QRN.

Maybe my wall chargers aren't very good, but our iPhones seem to charge much more quickly in the FiSDK500. It has become our go-to charger.

The cheaper Bosch EL-51245 Power Max 16 Amp exceeds the fusions charger specs, but IMHO a 12 foot cable is very short. I charge outside, charger is in garage (too much junk)

I have not checked this charger for line noise and load so I cannot recommend... Don't know how well it would work.

I honestly haven't used the charger on my cell phone, but I have been using it on my tablet. So far, been working like a champ. Been about 6 months. Hope I didn't just "jinx" myself. :-)

Yes ... It's a great charger. I don't leave home without it, and have helped many people to get charged really fast.

My brother and I both got ours from MassMall and have been very happy with our purchases so far. Granted they aren't used other than when we're travelling, which admittedly is only a handful of days out of the year. My brother got one last year and it still works great. I still opt for my Nintendo wall charger when I have access to an outlet though.

Yes. The original charger is the best way and may be faster than other chargers.

EasyAcc sells the charger for this separately. I would recommend using their charger. It has a higher current output and charges this quicker. The separate charger is 5 Volt 2 amps if I remember correctly, and is about $12. Together they work like a charm. My girlfriend and I can get 5 or 6 total recharges to our Samsung smartphones when we go hiking or camping.

I use the La Crosse Technology BC-700 Alpha Power Battery Charger. I think any charger would work with these batteries.

My experience is get the least expensive one. They do about the same thing-I have had multiple versions of the original, but all my chargers fit it. Otherwise I would just get a new one.

I know that it works great on my iPhone 5, and it is worth the money. Ask yourself this: How much will I save by purchasing this over what I would pay if I purchased a charger from my phone company provider? If you can save money, then you should know the answer. This charger works just as good as the one you would pay more for at the phone provider.
