I would very strongly reccomend against it!
From my own personal experience, this charger is too easy to change settings AFTER you start the charge, and the damage to batteries can get pretty expensive. Add to it the fact that you have to push the yellow button in a specific sequence to select battery type, makes it easy...too easy to select the wrong battery type and ruin a pack in this manner.
After wasting about $500 in packs, this charger is now relegated to charging nicd glow sticks.

Wayne made some good points. Thou the Safe Charge circuit in theDuralite batteries will not let you abuse the batteries when charging. Duralite requires that the chargers they make to be used to charge Duralite batteries. The warranty on the batteries is only honored when Duralite chargers are used.
I would suggest getting the Duralite 3+1 charger to charge your batteries.

I should have made the distinction that the batteries destroyed were NOT duralites, but NiMh, LiPo, and NiCd from other manufacturers.
I still would advise against this charger.

Use the duralite charger, its safe and easy.
Plug the batteries in, when the green light goes out disconnect them.
