    I got one of these a while back, when had digital camera that used AA batteries.

    This does an excellent job of charging NiMH. Problem that I have with NiMH is that they "leak" charge when not being used.

    It's a bummer to need to use a battery, and it's dead because it's been sitting for a couple of weeks.

    Having better luck with specific item LiIon with chargers for stuff like the Wii.

    If you're really serious about making a long term investment of rechargeable batteries:


    Best prices for best low self discharge batteries (AccuEvolution) if you buy the starter kit which has 8 AAA + 4 AAs + 2 Cs + 2 Ds + one 9v.

    There are newer NiMH batteries such as POWEREX MH-4AAI-BH 2100mAh IMEDION that still have 85% charge left after sitting for a year.

    La Crosse Technology BC-900 with batteries for $5 more than the one shown. Now THIS is a kick ass charger.

    from what i hear, powerex/maha chargers are very good but the LaCrosse is a better deal.
