the first generation is very tricky. it often marks good batteries as bad. if battery is very low it just assumes it is bad. most "bad" rechargeable batteries can be revived with enough tickle charging. i have a dedicated charger that actually revived almost all batteries that were marked dead even with 10 passes.

wow. automatic battery charger. something i didnt never even though about. it would be a cool home educational project for my kids. designing one i mean.

I've got the ostation pro too and I kinda find the opposite but honestly though, the charging has proven to be the least interesting aspect... Automated battery testing and just generally serving as a centralized battery receptacle that functions as a dispenser has proven to be a much more impactful change.
With that said, I'd never buy a version that could only handle one type of battery, being able to handle AA/AAA is a minimum requirement. Full price on any of the Ostations is also overpriced and would't plan to expect much from the app/integrations, super lackluster.
