Hello
It's time I joined the 21st century and got some decent i.e. Eneloop batteries and a suitable charger to replace my old Uniross/Duracell ones and collection of dumb chargers. Having done some research I've concluded that a budget advanced charger would be best for my needs, by that I mean one with individual cell charging (not in pairs) and negative delta V which stops charging completely when the cells are fully charged. So far I've found two which look suitable: This one http://www.batterylogic.co.uk/BL-500-Chipmunk-intelligent-battery-charger.asp and the Panasonic BQ-CC17. The Battery Logic one looks perfect but the Panasonic has a lower charge current which is better for the cells, plus I'm not a 'heavy' user so overnight charging is fine. However it looks like the Panasonic charger is not available in the UK and I can't find any online here so it might mean buying one from overseas and using an adapter. Can anybody recommend either of these chargers and have I overlooked any others that would be suitable?
Thanks
Richard
