While we have never had the chance to test any of the Schultze units at the Battery Clinic, by all accounts they are a top quality device. The one you mention isl 4-630 appears to be an older generation than they are featuring now on their web site:

I would expect it to serve your modest charging needs quite well.. As we tell everyone here at the clinic, when fist using a charger with Ni-Mh packs keep a close watch to see that there is no undue heating. Warm OK, but hot indicates the charger is not compatible with the pack you are trying to charge.
As always, new Ni-CD and Ni-MH should be given a slow charge for a couple of cycles before attempting fast charge. The same goes for packs that have not been used for seveal months.

I've been using my 6-430d for about 6 years and it's charged everything I've thrown at it, NiCd and NiMH, radio and electric flight packs.
But it did eventually develop a fault so it's away at the moment being repaired and upgraded to the latest software level so that it will handle Lithium-based batteries too. Not many charger manufacturers do upgrades like that, they just expect you to buy the new model (at full price). I like Schulze chargers

As others have stated it is a top quality unit, but really no better than the Super Turbo, Nova, etc. It is very intuitive in its operation. The quality overall is excellent! Enjoy.
