Works great, easy to read

I wrote my original review about how much I like this item. It covered how easy it is to use, that it charges all sorts of batteries, most in under an hour, and how the display read is very easy to read. It gives you a progress on the charge by 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% in the form of blue bars. Unfortunately my unit broke in 9 months after regular use. It still lit up, but the batteries did not charge. I contacted customer service and within days I had a replacement unit, no charge. They were very friendly and efficient. Sometimes a company that stands behind their product is more important than the product itself. I am very pleased again with my replacement unit.

Ordered this and works as it should. I've had this for a while now with no issues.

I needed to replace an older charger that I only used twice. It didn't work well because the battery contact was poorly manufactured and the design didn't fully charge batteries. Bought a combination of EBL 18650 batteries and another wall charger. That charger was also unable to fully charge batteries although the contacts were firm and the batteries made positive contact. Went on another hunt. Decided to go with a model that had a display indicating the LEVEL of charge for each individual battery vs the typical LED red/green lights that will light with a single battery in the cradle but without any AC side power applied. That's stoopid. Went with a micro-USB connector device that needs a cube charger like a smartphone or your Amazon Kindle HD, instead of the typical power supply and charger assembly that is plug-in-the-wall designed and robs an outlet. Plus, when plugging directly into an outlet I go for that outlet that never gets used because it is in a goofy and hard to get to location. That makes it difficult to remember that it was left plugged in because it isn't with the other charging devices. Battery death comes really fast for these rechargeable batteries because overcharging results in battery damage. I also wanted a model that accepts other battery sizes, like AA and AAA Ni-MH, in addition to the 18650, Li-ion. I tossed that original charger from late 2016, piece of junk, and put the EBL charger I bought a couple months back into a storage box as a backup. Will likely put it out for sale in a garage sale or send out to the recycler. My option in use at this juncture was just received last week.

Nearly every device from tablet to phones and handheld technology like wireless keyboards and the AppleTV remote control are recharged using a high quality RAVpower "SMART" circuit equipped power supply. RAVpower devices are very highly engineered with a quality build. I've given way about a dozen of them as gifts in a variety of models. Every one of them has outperformed its predecessor. Loading batteries in this SEWE Universal Intelligent Charger by Seando, is a bit awkward for the newb like me, with several attempts launching batteries out of my hands and rocketing about three feet away. Would be a kids toy in about 2 seconds if I had children around who saw what had just occurred. I really like the basic charge level indicator that is easy to understand and this model's ability to charge a variety of battery types/sizes. The build quality isn't anything to be excited about and the lens over the display is soft see thru plastic and arrived with swirls and scratches. This is a low end knockoff device made in China with its typically minimal packaging and instruction set that reads a bit messy with, "If the battery was put into the charger reverse, the screen will splash". I was taught to associate "splash" with "liquid" so I'm not certain what a splash in the display is going to look like. I hesitate to challenge the behavior out of curiosity, but suspect the intention was to choose the word "flash". The Company's website is a bit cheesy and it's my first thought that this product came to market by a contract manufacturer who will put anyone's logo on any device if for a sale of 1000 of pieces.

Great little charger for I think it was like $10 if you look there's some name brands I won't name it look almost identical which goes to show you all this crap is made in Chinese factors and then giving a brand name by a third party.
