I am looking for a replacement charger, able to sensibly recharge these,
preferably in any mix.


The Aldi charger does the business normally less than £15 when they
have them but I haven't seen one in the shops for a while. Can do 2 x
D, 6 x AA/AAA and two PP3. The bays for the D/AA/AAA are shared.
"Computerised" so checks each cell and then charges as required.


I have the Lidl version badged Tronic which is the same by your
description. One extra feature is it is self contained - no wall wart.
It's been in regular use since I bought it several years ago - excellent
device. Think I saw them in Lidl recently.


Ah, that's the one I referred to above. It's charging rate exceeds the
recommended rate for the cells.
Works well though.
