Difference between Visar Chargers?

[GJ]

Hello people!
Can anyone tell me if there is any difference between the small NTN8076A and the slightly bigger NTN8375A charger?
They both can hold two battery's but can only charge one battery at the time.
I wonder if there is any difference in how the battery is charged, do they both use the same type of charging or is one charger a bit better than the other one?
I like the bigger charger a bit better, it hold's the battery tighter then the little charger, look's better made also.

NTN8375A


Thanks,

They both will overcharge your battery if you leave it in there for more than an hour or two after the Green LED goes on.

I do know the larger charger works with the high capacity NiMh battery.

Actually... stay far away from any "A" revision Visar chargers of the 8375 type. I believe they only charged NiCDs, and overcharged them at that. The "B" revision introduced NiMH, but it also overcharged them. I don't believe it was totally corrected until the "D" revision, but I would stay with the newer NTN8076x series anyways.

What is the B/D revisions? NTN8375 never had B, C or D suffxes. Just NTN8375A. But rear mfg. of them (I can't recall name of company) use numeric revisions, like is REV:01, REV:02 and REV:03.

Hello to everyone on the group! After doing some extensive research, I am unable to determine what is the best charger for a Visar Nickel Metal Hydride battery. I currently have two different Visar chargers. The first one is a NTN8375A (REV:3), the second is a NTN7510C (REV:2). They both look the same. For what I could gather reading above, the NTN8375A will charge the NiMH battery. However, it suffers from over charging if you leave the battery in the charger for more than one hour after it goes green. So back to my original question(s):

1. What would be the best charger to purchase for the Visar NiMH battery?

2. Is there a charger on the market that will charge all three chemistry Ni Cad, NiMH and Li-on?

3. Is there a cup available that I could use in a Clam Shell charger WPLN4114AR (V3.90) to charge my Visar batteries?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Bob

This is what we are using for most applications. They do tri-chem.

Why to use Chinese stuff if genuine Motorola products is still available from Motorola and off eBay for a grab prices?
