Good price for this charger, also known as the technoline BL700. Worth keeping a dumb charger as a backup because conpletely flat batteries will come up with a fault and not charge in this unit.
Sweet spot for current is 500ma AA and 250ma AAA with Eneloops.

I do this as well, its a bit annoying. Even my 8 bay dumb charger does this too.
Some devices don't cut out and discharge to a realpt low voltage, these devices (kids toys!) tend to say alkaline only.

It has been this price for years
I brought one on that deal but it didn't fully charge the batteries even though the display said it was charged. 7dayshop refunded me and told me to keep it!

Agree. Had this and didn't fully charge batteries. Somewhere to 89% at best, same as Xtar VC4 which was good for few months only.

I'm curious if you two used the refresh option to increase charge capacity. I've never had an issue with charging my eneloops above the stated capacity.

Nope.
Charger just simply didn't fully charge batteries. First I thought that my iMac trackpad is lying in percentage, but then done proper battery charge capacity tests and it showed that my iMac trackpad was reporting true capacity...between 84-89% straight from charger.

I've been having that same issue and actually sent my Eneloop batteries to Panasonic for testing!

Both had same problem as both has same charging circuit board and chip inside. Not rely anymore on these no name so called "smart" chargers. My old good Panasonic charger does job best.

I've had a version of these for a few years, can't say I've noticed any lack of charging. And yes, do keep a dumb charger around for any batteries that are completely gone.

I'm curious to how to checked the capacity as I they only way I know of by discharging a cell ? Also most Eneloops require several charges to reach optimal capacity from what I've read.
