Battery Charger

[hammerquill]

Early in the time when LMG was starting to get into serious product design and manufacturing, Linus mentioned one thing he really wanted to try to make was a battery charger, since there were so few good ones out there. This is something I've complained about for years, and it has kept me from using rechargeables as much as I would like to. I hope this can be brought forward from whatever distant back burner it has been put on. I think it could make a big difference to helping people use fewer disposable batteries to have a charger made with all the right engineering and bells and whistles, in the LTT mode. Personally would buy three. One for me, one for parents, one for my work studio.

 

Requirements for a good battery charger (to me):

 

The ability to handle AA, AAA, and ideally (since it doesn't actually take much different in design) C cells. The ability to charge them singly or in pairs. The ability to charge at least four at once, but 6-8 is better. High quality set-and-forget charging (so it doesn't matter if you leave the batteries in place). A built-in, super-quick battery tester that gives actual V info. The ability to mount it on a wall or a desk. Visual indicators of full charge. Ideally, also, some circuitry to do whatever revival of overused batteries is possible with the current generation of NiMHs.

What you are looking for is a nitecore d4. I have been using one for over 6 years now.

I've been using the MH-C9000Pro for quite a while now. I use it with my Energizers.  Now I'm a little curious about the one @Kilrah posted though since it covers basically all the different battery types. 

 

However it seems there maybe more chargers on the market than the OP originally thought.
