I Hate Batteries

(The latter might still be better than some very old chargers where you were the only timer :palm:)

Well, if I translated correctly... :D
Sounds like there are charge status indicator LCD's for each of the 4 batteries, plus an auto shutoff that goes into trickle charge when each is fully charged. And some sort of over-charge protection. As well as overtemperature (60C+), overvoltage, and overcurrent protection.
Of course the devil is in the details...

That charger should be worth a try, but be cautious placing too much trust in reviews on Amazon. Not only are many "fabricated", but there will be some (many) that are not even for the exact item in the listing.
Also keep in mind what I said about NiMH 9-volts. If you have a high drain device you won't be happy with their low capacity.

The charger I have is a LaCrosse BC-900, I bought it probably 10 years ago so I'm not sure if this is still the best option but I've been happy with it.
Eneloop cells are excellent, I also have some Fujitsu and some of the Japan-made Amazon branded ones, I haven't had any trouble with any of them.
There aren't any 9V Eneloop as far as I know but I have a bunch of EBL ones that have been good.
Avoid cheap junk, there are a LOT of low cost random Chinese batteries out there that don't perform as advertised.

Just imagine having a device where the batteries are non removable... Oh wait a sec
