Battery Charger w/ 8 AA Batteries for $9.99 + $5.00 shipping ...

@daefaroth : These are alkaline batteries, Eneloops are NiMH --- These will be 1.5 volts at charge, Eneloops will be ~1.2 --- Eneloops will maintain a constant voltage of about 1.2 volts for most of their useful charge, these will start at 1.5 and drop as they are used between charges like standard alkalines do. Eneloops and other NiMH batteries have lower internal resistance which means they can discharge their charge faster, makes them work better in things such as camera flashes (faster cycle), Eneloops will also last for about 1500 charges where these are good for about 100. The biggest thing for me is that alkaline batteries have this nasty capability of leaking, where as NiMH batteries do not (as long as you don't abuse them by charging them completely improperly.) ... I have no concerns about leaving my Eneloops in devices for very long periods of time, no risk that my expensive device gets destroyed by a battery leak.

This means they run at a slightly higher voltage. This can be handy for voltage-sensitive equipment, like some digital cameras and my Flip Video camera (which doesn't last nearly as long on 1.2V Eneloops). I also use a Panasonic Oral Irrigator (similar to a WaterPick) with these and it runs noticeably faster vs. with the NiMH batteries.

I haven't measured it, but the discharge slope seems more gradual than Duracells too, so you get much more warning time on a digital camera (and my Flip), where with the Duracells I get a red battery symbol and 3 seconds later they shut off.

I don't know if they'll last as long as the Eneloops, but they've already paid for themselves, so I'm happy.

@blaze1984 : So - help me out a second here, the way I understand batteries and how they charge is overvoltage - just a tad overvoltage - is applied to charge. So a standard NiMH battery is 1.25 volts. These claim to be 1.5 . I have a pager that uses rechargable AA and has a drop in charger. The charger says 1.3 volts. So then I'm assuming this charger wouldn't charge the battery, correct? Wouldn't the same theory apply, or is a standard battery charger different?

Where can I buy a AA battery charger that will charge at least 28 rechargeable batteries at once?

I don't want to buy several 8 or 10 bay chargers.

The most I have seen is an 8 battery unit.
