• 1.Which is a better HP HSTNH-K18B-S charger? Timer based or Smart type? The answer to is no brain, of course the smart type, but why?Continuous pumping current to the batteries even after it is full is doing harm to the batteries. This will shorten the life-span of the batteries. Using a battery that isn't fully charge is wasting the actual capacity that the battery is capable of delivering. You will not want to buy a 2500mAh battery and charge it only upto 2000mAh right? Spending long hours charging is dreadful...especially if you are in a rush. Most timer-based charger are slow type (which is also known as slow charger), and takes hours (5 to 10 hours normally) to fully charge the HP HSTNH-K18B-S batteries it is intended to. .
• 2.The only reason to buy a timer-based HP HSTNH-K18B-S charger is due to its low price. With the simple design and features that it offers (nothing besides charging for a long period), manufacturer is capable of producing timer based charger at a very affordable price. However, as a consumer...you are actually paying more for it in long run, as it shorten the life of your batteries and the frustration of not knowing the condition (Full, Half-Full, Empty?) of your batteries. So, you will end up buying another charger (smart type this time) and wasting on the first timer based charger. I know this because the first charger that I bought after entering into photography is a timer-based one (more than 12 hours...), dumb it within one month and spent double the price for a smart type later, well worth it! Should have bought a smart one battery charger in the first place.
