    Apparently this is a replacement for the CF-VCBTB1U for use charging batteries for the CF-17/18/28/29/34/37. The older B1U can charge two batteries (main and second) from a 29 at the same time. This one apparently can only charge the one secondary battery. Both go for around $25 on eBay. Hardly sounds like an "improved" version. Am I missing something? Azrial's "improved" search engine didn't show any posts on this model.)

    There was 2 sellers that had a lot of them for $9.99 + $5.00 shipping for 1 (3 for $38.97 shipped) and one for $19.99 free s/h. I would wait myself because the ones I see are $28.00 + $12.00 s/h :eek: .Too much when I see them for 1/2 the price all the time. Mine ended up costing me nothing because I sold the other 2 for $25.00 each ;) .
    For members that don't know this you will still need to use you power block to use this charger.
