HP power adapter + battery charger

Advantages: Very fast charge times, turns off automatically.
Disadvantages: None

...can get and a pack of these alone cost £15 (Argos). It charges either Ni-Cd or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries and either AA or AAA. You can only charge up 2 or 4 at a time. There are 2 LED's. One is green which means the charger is switched on. The other is red to mean it is charging the batteries. Besides mains you can also charge in the car with the supplied adapter. It is also compatible in different countries as it can take power from 110-240 volts.

EXPANSION SD Slot allows easy transfer of data MANUAL The manual is easy to follow although lengthy and the accompanying software cd easy to install. Anyone with any basic computer knowledge should be able to set up and use without much reference to the manual but some of the finer points will require some reference.
