12v charger recommendation
We travel for 2 months each summer and often dry camp with no electrical
hookups. I need a good charger that will work on my trucks 12v cigarette plug . So I can charge up the AA Nickel metal hydride batteries that I use in my Sony dsc-W! cybershot. Do you have any recommendations or models to avoid? Thanks. |

I tend to just use a 110v inverter, that way I can charge anything.

See http://nordicgroup.us/chargers/
But the answer is Maha MH-C401FS. Avoid using a 110V inverter. It isn't necessary, and it complicates things. |

I use both, depends on what I need to power. I use a Power Tech Plus MB-3537, charges NiMh in about an hour and does up to 4 cells on separate charge circuits. |

I use a powerport 12 which runs off either a lighter plug or a wall wart.
It can charge two 4 packs of AA or AAA plus four AAA thru C (maybe D) for a total of 12 batteries at a time. do I need this? Heck YES. we use for our model rocket club the following.... cobra FRS radios (5 of them with 3 AA bateries) my film camera just recieved a high speed autowinder (4 AA) and I have two flashes for it (2 AA + 2 AA) portable radio scanner for tracking rocket locators and monitoring aircraft to avoid (4AA) last year we built a RC lander/rover unit with 2 recievers (4 AA + 4 AA) and two transmitters (8 AA +8 AA) and I know I am missing *something* but that still come to over 50 AA bateries. admittedly I do not have 50 AA batteries, as we usually grab batteries from one thing to run another, but I am trying to get that eliminated, thank goodness for ebay..... I wont even get into the setup we have for launch controllers, as that is a 12 volt setup and we are building gear for that voltage standard as well (camcorders, launch controllers, PA, FRS base radio, etc.) -- Tater President of MARS Club (NAR #660) www.mars-rocketry.com KC9ESF NAR #79654 L1 EAA #703312 remove spam spelled backwards to reply "Rtavi" wrote in message ...

An inverter can save purchasing, and carrying, several different 12v chargers. That simplifies things. For a single device, you are correct. -- Ron Hunter |

Do you know if this charger is available in Canada. If you do not I would suppose other members of the organisation in Canada would. Are you privileged to their address. I have lots of chargers, four in line, but I have not been able to get one that does eight "AAs" at a time. I thank you: Keith "tater schuld" wrote in message ...
