I need a Nano sized 1xAAA NIMH charger?

Anyone know of a tiny charger that can charge one AAA NIMH in about 8 hours max? 3 hours or so would be ideal. (I did find one that said it charged in 16 hours? Uh, WTF, Over…)

I don't think I want to spend more than about $20.

Having 2 bays would be ok but all of the 4 bay chargers I've seen are too large.

I would like something the size of the Nano charger (I have the LIR123A one, not 10440) but I would put up with a bit larger if it had a 12v car charger mode, etc.

I have an AccuPower AccuManager 20 with 12v car plug if I need it, but I am spoiled with my Nano being able to top off my R123's no matter where I am and would like to do the same with NIMH AAA's, the AccuPower will not fit in my laptop bag.

This USB charger from Cyberguys is close but only does 2 at a time.

I have car 12v to USB and 110v to USB for other gear, but I need to be able to charge one NIMH AAA cell.

I found a review of one made by EverFast that looks super, but the reviewer said that they were promo items for PR departments? (anyone fake being a PR department?)

I recommend either the Maha MH-C204W or the Maha MH-C401FS. The 401FS has a car adapter cord, but also needs a wall wort for AC. The 204W doesn't use a wall wort, just a cord, but also doesn't have a 12V capability. For car charging with the C204W use the DP-IN25 DC to AC converter.

Those look like nice chargers, but they are too big for the pocket in my laptop bag.
The C401FS can charge 1 cell at a time, but the C204W seems to be 2 or 4?

You asked for it - you got it. One nano type AAA charger.

oh that one is nice, Thanks JimH! I checked Dae's site and missed it, I sent them a message and asked if it can charge one cell.

I just found this one from amondotech

I called them and it will charge single sells.

I think the one from QualityChinaGoods is a better fit for my laptop bag, but if it can't do one battery I think I'll get the one from Amondotech.

Here's one more that looks interesting.

EDIT

According to the Lenmar site it charges 1 or 2 batteries.

Here's the reply I got back from Dae.

" Hi James,

it's better to charge two at a time.

thanks a lot in advance for your prompt reply."
