Went down to storage today to grab some batteries for one of my projects and had a question about charging these.

I have 2 bp-l40 batteries that are used in Sony camcorders. I looked on the net and they want anywhere from 250-500 dollars for a charger. WAY out of my price range for a charger for batteries that are going to be used for a underwater fishing light.
The specs on the batteries are:
14.4V 4.4Ah (65Wh)
14.4V 8.8Ah (130Wh)

Besides the battery specific charger is there another way I can charge these?

My other option is to run some Makita 14.4V 3.0Ah NiMh drill batteries that I have as well....
