Ive read a few of the previous posts, but forgive my repetition if it exists...

Firstly I can get 8x AA NiMH Sanyo 2500mAH batteries for $40 incl shipping (best other price was $30 for 4x)

good price?

Ill want 8 to start with probably end up with 12 - To power an F100 and SB800 (due to purchase soon)

I want a charger that can charge 8-10 of these AA at a time... with decharge and an adapter for the car... any suggestions?

Many thanks,

JD

Birddy sells those batteries for $6 a pair so $40 seems good for 12. A number of chargers will do 10 at a time, but the better chargers are pulse ones which top the batteries up closer to the top. To the best of my knowledge all the pulse ones are 4 battery chargers. Check out http://www.jaycar.com.au for some options.

I ended up getting the most expensive Powertech one from Jaycar... cant really comment as I am still on the first charge (got the 2500mAh :D ones!)

That is the one I got MHD, seems to do a good job as the mouse batteries get about twice the life now :wink:
