I currently have a Duracell Mobile Charger, about 8 AA Duraloops, about 12 AA Durabrids, and about 16 AAA Durabrids. I'm trying to phase out alkaline usage in my house for random appliances and replace them with rechargables. And I have a couple of 2xAA lights that I use these batteries in.
I've got about $30 in Amazon credit so thought I would do a charger or battery upgrade and I can't quite decide between these three things. I don't want to spend much more than the $30 I have in credit.
I initially was interested in the BC-9009 package but after the reported meltdown problems, I think I'll pass. That narrows down my choices to:
BC-700 - Haven't read about the meltdown problems with this charger. I like the price and it sounds like it's very easy to use.
Eneloop Battery Kit with the MQN06 charger - From what I understand, my Duracell Mobile Charger is better than the MQN06 since the Mobile Charger charges independantly. But having more Eneloops is always good and I like that it comes with the C and D spacers so that I could replace alkaline C and D batteries with Eneloops. Though that's only a couple of devices so not that big of a deal.
Maha C9000 - Everyone loves this charger but it seems like it's a little more complicated to use than the La Crosse chargers. Plus it's expensive (twice the price of the BC-700 after shipping costs) and doesn't come with any batteries.
I think I'm leaning toward the BC-700...but am interested in hearing thoughts on my choices.
