So I am gonna review this thing since I just got my box of them. I'm gonna start out with the positive points (i.e. what atomic does right). At the end you will see the one major flaw and my easy fix.

As I mentioned before, these charger stands are nice because you can chain multiple batteries and balance charge (with the right charger and plugs) as a multi cell pack. With my new charger I am pretty sure I could chain 10 of these together and charge them ALL AT ONCE!!

Here you can see the standard device with the sticker. All of the pics I have seen so far look like it has a white background but it is actually silver and not too bad.

Regardless, I ditched the stickers and these stands look very nice without them. If you peel slowly, these stickers come off clean without residue. Here's the clean look.

The best part is the batteries "plug" into place unlike the crappy stock charger that has plenty of connectivity issues. I also have some older batteries that have corroded connections and are not shiny anymore. I slid one of these in and the plugging action was enough to make a good contact and was recognized instantly.  The stock charger doesn't rely on friction so much to make the contact but more gravity of the weight of a battery to overcome the spring tension.  This Atomic stand plugs the battery in so it makes a real contact.

Nice weighting and no-slip gripper to keep it in place on your table.

Those are the good things. Now for the...

FATAL FLAW: The first one I opened and tried was DOA (Dead On Arrival) and my charger showed "Connection Break". Got out my digital voltmeter and sure enough measuring resistance from the input to output showed the positive side (+) was not contacting. After peeling back the no-slip cover and enough testing, I realized the battery contacts and tubes are separate items relying on spring tension to contact. The two 3mm allen screws are of no help here to adjust because the contacts and tubes were indeed touching already; just not making electrical contact!!!

Easy solution... solder it and replace the no-slip and it will always make a good contact. I measured the resistance and it is great. I am really glad the first one was DOA right off the bat 'cause I took all of them out and soldered them up... DIALED!
