[Electronics-talk] battery chargers

[Gerald Levy]

Hi guys.  About six months ago, I purchased a Duracell Value Charger from 
Soap.com.  It came with four Duracell precharged NiMH AA batteries that are 
supposed to last up to 500 charging cycles.  I took them out of the package, 
installed a pair directly in my Oral B battery-powered toothbrush, and have 
not had to recharge them yet, even though I use my toothbrush twice a day. 
The charger itself is a nice, compact unit that plugs directly into any AC 
outlet.  It has a LED, but no audible, charge indicator, and it can charge 
two pairs of AA or AAA batteries at a time or one pair of each.  The 
charging time is about 6 hours, and the unit has circuitry to prevent 
overcharging if it is left plugged in.  I figure the batteries will outlast 
me.  The charger with 4 AA precharged batteries costs about $14, and from my 
research, it seems like the best value on the market. Of course, you can buy 
extra AA or AAA NIMH battries to use with this unit, so you can go totally 
green if you want. For more info:
