Amazon.com has the LaCrosse Technology BC-900 AlphaPower Battery Charger for $35 with free shipping.
4 AA and 4 AAA rechargeable batteries, heat monitor prevents overcharging
Can charge AA and AAA batteries simultaneously, 4 separate LCD displays
Includes 4 C- and 4 D-size battery adapters and durable travel bag
I got this last time around and I only got 2 C and 2 D adaptors, the AA's were 2400mAh & the AAA's were 800mAh. Their picture shows 4, 4, 2000 & 700 respectively.
It looks like it depends on which "version" you get. Someone on Amazon mentioned getting the 2000 mAh batteries and they ordered the same day I did! So I guess it's a crap shoot!
It's definitely worth the extra money for the really good charger. I was able to refresh half of my old batteries to nearly new capacity with this. The other half only refreshed to 75%, which is better than the 30% charge they had previously!
i have been wanting this charger for a while and have seen the price go up and down alot on amazon, and the lowest price has been $35 and never got any lower then this price, so im in for 1 and hope to get ver.33 w/ 2400mAh batteries, if not then i will return and try to get another replace until i get my ver.33
Be careful buying this from Amazon. Going late into 2006 these were shipping with the old (non-upgradeable) firmware which had documented issues of causing fires. Not sure if they are shipping with the current firmware now...
Yeah, it'd be nice to know if they are only shipping the newer version.
I bought this a month ago at $35 and they sent me the newer version.
Me too... Funny how Ben had it listed yesterday for $40
Friday sale (price for today only)
A common Friday sale item (and price) though.
The batteries it comes with may be pretty crappy. Of the four 2000mAh AA's I got, 2 of them have completely died - they just read "null". Great charger, but get some decent batteries at thomas distributing.
