Advertisement Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Hi agro, Take a look here Any sign of the Hahnel twin charger yet?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
gdmiv Posted August 4, 2008 Share #182 Posted August 4, 2008 Add me to the count - I'd sign up for 2 of a smaller version M8 charger, simple AC only or fancier. The charger for my Dlux-3 is quite reasonable, where did they go wrong ? Doug Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

35mmSummicron Posted August 21, 2008 Share #185 Posted August 21, 2008 Over at RangefinderForum someone was recommended to use this alternate Ansmann charger: ANSMANN AG: Digicharger Vario I've seen this charger in stores before and it is only SLIGHTLY smaller than the normal Leica charger, how well it works I have no idea.........

steich Posted August 22, 2008 Share #186 Posted August 22, 2008 I asked Ansmann about the Digicharger Vario, and they said, yes, it can charge M8-batteries (they should know, for they build the original charger). Ansmann sent me a data sheet (in German, I am sorry). The charger itself is 117*62*27mm, plus the 12V-adapter (car adapter oder 230/110 V).

wlaidlaw Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share #187 Posted August 22, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am suspicious of universal chargers which only have two contacts. The third contact is there to control charging rate, preventing over charging by I believe monitoring battery temperature. I would assume that Ansmann did not put in the third contact in the original charger purely for fun. I have not heard from Tim for some time (I was prepared to act as a co-investor with Tim in the battery project), so I am guessing the project may be dead.

Guest DuquesneG Posted August 22, 2008 Share #188 Posted August 22, 2008 Over at RangefinderForum someone was recommended to use this alternate Ansmann charger: ANSMANN AG: Digicharger Vario I've seen this charger in stores before and it is only SLIGHTLY smaller than the normal Leica charger, how well it works I have no idea......... I've had one for a couple months. It works perfectly. It says the charging process is "microprocessor controlled" and has overcharge protection. I haven't noticed my M8 batteries getting any warmer than they do on the Leica charger (also made by Ansmann). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
