I solved the charger issue by getting a Maha Powerex MH-C9000 and a set of Imedion AA for the other flash unit. Not exactly an affordable solution but at least now I can recondition and test batteries at home. And be sure to charge batteries in a way that will make them last.

Downsides, besides price, are mostly related to the LCD. Like so many others have already pointed out, it would be  great if you could view the status of all four slots simultaneously. Instead we have this huge display where a good chunk is occupied by static print information that could just as well have been done in software. Also, it displays voltage last for some reason. And the LCD, while bright and big has a terrible viewing angle. Also, while the default AA charging current is 1A, AAA cells are charged at the same voltage which is well above specs. Not even my old Vanson unit (which supplied 2A for AA cells) did that. So you better lower the current to 0.8A or whatever before you attempt to charge AAA batteries. I also believe that they should have included a faster discharge mode. At present it can’t go beyond 1A.
