Summary: Not as Rapid as you might think...
Comment: The BU-500 charger included in this package uses a fixed 13-hour timer that is reset whenever unplugged. (Stated on Olympus web site) If the batteries are fully charged, the current is reduced, but the light stays on until the 13 hours are up. As my two-year old Olympus BU-100 charger (sadly no longer available, it seems) charged 4 batteries in about 4 hours, I am not sure how this one can be called "Rapid".

Summary: Compact Battery Charger
Comment: I have this charger (only in black as marketed by Energizer), Specifically, what I like about the unit is that there is no external cord; the plug is built into the unit and folds down for very compact storage. Red light at the bottom goes out when batteries are charged.
