Toshiba battery charger - NiMH - 2600 mAh

Advantages: The stop charging facility
Disadvantages: not really

...There is not much to say about this, simply brilliant! Is very straight forward to use, only one switch to chose the type of battery to charge, insert the batteries, up to 4 depending of type, plug it in and wait until its charged. It comes with a charge indicator and will stop charging when the batteries are ready; a green light will come up. It can recharge batteries type AAA, AA and GF22, respectively up to 4, 4 and 2.

...without any loss in performance, cost about the same as NiCads, but are much more effiecient at what they do... ~~~o0o~~~ By way of an example....my Sanyo Digital camera runs off 2 standard AA 1.5 volt Bateries, these work the Flash Gun, Back Screen Monitor, View Finder and Camera Functions, using 2 Duracel Batteries my camera will take about half a dozen high spec pictures using the flash gun and back screen view finder.... Using NiCad rechargeable AA Batteries, on the same high Format pictures, the camera will take about 15 pictures before a fresh set of batteries are called for.. Using MiMH rechargeable Batteries in the same circumstances the camera will take about 60 High Format pictures.... ~~~o0o~~~ So the proof of the pudding is in the eating...these NiMH batteries are excellent, you can buy a special NiMH Battery Charger...
