battery charger?

[Greyd]

Can anyone recommend a good battery charger? For normal everyday use batteries like AAs or AAAs and whatever else is normally used around the house? Thanks

I have this one and love it.

Maha makes some great ones. Their service is great too. I got one that stopped charging. Called them up and they sent me a new power block in the mail. The thing has been working for four years now.

Can't go wrong w/ Maha or Lacrosse anyday! I love my mahas w/ the powerex batteries.

I have the BC-900. I like having the extra features, but there have been posts about buggy behavior.

get a smart charger that senses when your batteries are full.

most of the cheap chargers that come with the batteries are dumb charges. they'll charge for X hours no matter how full the battery is. thats not good for the battery

Edit:
The La Crosse charger is highly rated, but there are cheaper smart chargers if u dont need the LCD display

You might try to search this out on digg.com

There was an artilcle featured a few months ago explaining how to make a simple recharger
for regular AA & AAA batteries. No need to buy rechargeable batteries. With that setup you can recharge regular ordinary ones.
