Does a Charger exist which works with ALL batteries ??

[Perfectionist]

I mean Nicd, Nimh, Lion .... and ideally AAA, AA, CR123, CR2 .....

Does such a beast exist ..... or do I have to start a new collection of Battery Chargers to go with my Lights !!

Hello Perfectionist,

I use a Schulze charger and it does a very good job.

I have the perfect solution get a Variable output PS and a wattmeter (the rc 0-100A 0-60V type anda fluke) and just set it at 4.2v for lithium and 1.5 for nimh nicds and anjust current and voltage to the capacity in Mah will be your rate and the final voltage is yoruvoltage as the charge ends the current will trickle off. Using a lower charge voltage will increase cell life but lower capacity.

You can also try a Triton 2, but that requires a separate DC PS.
