| 1459223 | 2019-03-19 11:12:00 | Like some other on here I used to do a lot of AA re-charging. But I found it too tedious and time consuming, and a I bought a good charger with a test function. But that did not seem very consitent I also had to thrown batteries away well before their rated re-charging times. So I stopped using them. And I just buy some from the supermarkets or the warehouse etc. If you buy them in bulk they are quite cheap. So I have two or three charges available. |

No point in cooking Niamh's when you're not in a hurry to get them charged Im pretty sure the LSD/'ready to use' needed lower charge rate than the old school niamh's |

| 1459227 | 2019-03-20 20:16:00 | Yep Panasonic Eneloop. As for the charger, get the one that cost a few bucks more so it charges the cells independently, not as a pair. Readout is more features, depends what you want, they might cost more though. On some NZ forums some guys like this one. mahapowerex.eu I had a LaCrosse charger myself with LED readouts I was good in a geeky way but after a while I didn't care much. If the batteries go dead you just replace them anyway. They only last a good few years. With digital cameras, smartphones, laptops now having their own special battery I don't find much to charge batteries now - my Nikon flash unit. The TV remotes etc are much cheaper to just use disposables. |
