Inexpensive D-size NiMH and Charger?

[meuge]

As the topic says - can someone point me to a good deal on D-size NiMH and charger?!

I am putting together a 3-D P7 light, and need a power source on a lean budget.

+1 on Vanson BC1-HU, use it for everything

their price seems high, I see them much less sometimes. I got a used one for 25 tokens.

I just bought one myself and agree 100%. For the price, it's a great deal. It only has an 800 ma charge and 350 ma discharge rate. So cycling a set of D's takes more than 2 days. The more powerful MAHA MH-C808M is almost $90 though, just for the charger.

I disagree about BatteryJunction's price being out of line. The metlarules link points to a package that includes 4 batteries. They also sell just the BC1-HU charger for $25.95.

If you don't want to loose time on the approximately 20 hour charge, keep an extra fully charged set on hand with the 8 battery package for $74.95. Don't forget BatteryJunction's 5% discount with the coupon code, "CPF2006".

A couple of things about the BC1-HU:
They don't mention anything about it in the directions, but you need to leave the door open while charging. It builds up too much heat otherwise and at the very least extends the charging time.The green LED indicating a completed charge, is actually an 80 ma trickle charge. You can just leave your D cells topped off in the charger till needed.

Good point about the door open

yeah might be good price if 4 NiMH are included
