For some reason my AA Battery charger has just died. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good quick charger (1-2 hours for 4 AAs) that also charges AAAs. Also, what brand of rechargeable AA's is best? Thanks!

I have a Maha charger that works pretty well.

Are you talking about rechargeable batteries, ot the regular Alkiline ones.
There is a BIG difference.

The best way to find what you want is to just google for - - - AA battery charger
You will find tons of them.
You'll just have to do a little work to find what you need.

Thanks for the help. As I was looking up new ones to replace mine that wasn't working I picked up my old one and it started working again. Go figure. Oh well, saves $50.

Drew,

If your existing batteries are the Nickel-Metal-Hydride type... Why not go to Radio Shack and purchase one of their chargers.... Their is almost without a doubt a RS on almost every corner of Main Street USA.

here is a link to RS...
