Use of the MRC 969 for lithium is asking for trouble, sooner or later you are going to get into trouble using a charger with absolutely no charge control in the lithium mode. You will be called away to the phone, someone rings your door bell, you fall asleep watching the voltage, . . . YOU WILL GET BITTEN! Now if you chose to ignore this, you could have saved a lot of money and used what ever charger you may have including your wall warts to charge lithium as long as you are going to monitor the voltage - you will get essentially the same results eventually.

BANG

BURN

I did a complete review of this charger and posted the original warning. I have never encountered another charger that was out and out just dangerous to use as this one is - by a beginner or an "expert". True, you can create an ugly incident with most any lithium charger, but you have to work a little to do it. The MRC 969 will do it automatically for you.
