Powerex Battery Charger

This time last year i bought a Powerex MH-C801D battery charger from the store on the Naturescapes site, It seemed quite expensive at the time but looking at the powerex website it got great reviews from various magazines plus it had the bonus of charging 8 batteries at the same time fast,Its a very well made piece of kit and has a good clear display so you can see exactly whats going on, You have the choice of fast or slow charge as well as conditioning your battery by discharging them first and then recharging them fully, I have used flash alot this year and the charger has been great until a couple of months ago, I contacted Powerex and they instantly said that they would send a new one,however it started to work again until just before i went to NY and i noticed that the transformer rattled and the light would flicker on and off-obviously something loose giving and taking the connection away, I mailed Powerex again and when i returned from NY a new transformer was waiting for me and now all works well again, There were no questions asked by powerex and they didn't ask to send the old unit back to check first before sending one out-Great service and one reason for paying a premium for the equipment, If you are in the market for a good battery charger then this is one to take a serious look at, The 2700mAp batteries are excellent as well, I shot all day in NY on one set

Bio's

David Courtenay, a self taught wildlife and nature photographer, has been capturing images for over 30 years. He has had a passion for wildlife since early childhood and remembers being glued to the television whenever Survival, Wildlife on One and other natural history documentaries were shown. In the 2006 he swapped his established career for the life of a wildlife photographer, such a move demands a measure of uncompromising passion and commitment.

David has travelled extensively throughout Europe as well as spending more than 7 months in India working with local guides and trackers in search of Bengal Tiger, Asian One horned Rhino and Asian Elephant. He has also photographed Wildlife in Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra, Africa, Canada and America. Working closely with Conservation companies he tries to raise funds to help Wildlife that has been put on the endangered list by poaching and habitation loss

Martin Dyer has had a passion for avian wildlife since childhood, particularly raptors. Photography was also another keen interest and it was with the specific availability and control of the whole process that digital offers that Martin was then able to combine the two in 2003. Based in the UK, Martin is a regular visitor to Scotland, specifically the Isle of Mull to watch the Eagles resident there. Other trips to Europe and around the UK are usually part of Martin’s agenda in a typical year.

However, as a firm believer on making the most of the local patch, Martin has spent a lot of time and hard work creating a wildlife garden which is reaping the rewards with many new species and varieties of wildlife. A keen member of a number of wildlife photographic groups, Martin is keen to expand his portfolio into other areas of wildlife, and has already established a wide portfolio of images of fungi.
