However, poorly conducted tests, inaccurate results and speculation prove very little. The OP asked for recommendations. I'm not saying that your recommendation is poor, it's likely that the charger you recommend is as good as the WF-139.

Is there any evidence that it is better ? Unfortunately not.

I'm not trying to pick an argument with you, it's up to the OP to decide what is good advice.

Here's what some people with more than 'a cheap multimeter and an armchair' have to say about the charger. And it's total BS that you aren't looking for an argument; you are intentionally abrasive.
