Looking for a fast, intelligent charger for AA and AAA NiMHs (and

I.E. not like http://homepage.ntlworld.com/john.stumbles/charger.jpg


Could the fact that it was on the wrong setting maybe explain the fireworks...?!

Oops!

Don't think that was the entire problem though: it's cooked several
other sets of cells (AAs though, which haven't suffered so drastically:
just got _very_ hot) and I'm pretty sure it was set correctly on at
least some of those occassions.

Point is a charger with an effective safety cutout might not help
preserve the cells' lifetimes but could make the difference to ours :-|
