AndyMark 3 Port Charger
Anyone have any significant experience with the relatively new AndyMark charger ? Does it automatically start charging as soon as a battery is plugged in or do you have to press buttons to select charger rates/start button etc (something students can forget to do) ?

The manufacturer (not AM) states that this charger will charge to 100% capacity while other chargers may only charge to 80%. Any firm evidence of how this charger performs compared to the 2 chargers FIRST has provided over the years (one transformer based (with some electronics) and one a switching PS version I believe) ?
