Hi:
It looks like there is a new charger from CCrane that does AAA/AA/C/D/9-volt batteries. It can also run off a carcord which is really useful and charges batteries individually. The price is reasonable, about 40 dollars. Oddly enough the webpage info states The Quick Charger-2 is not recommended for NiCad type batteries at this time.. However if you download the manual it states the following, Only recharge AAA, AA, C, D size and 9 Volt Nickel Metal Hydride or Nickel Cadmium batteries.. So I dont know whats up with that.
The following is the info from the CCrane website with the following url.

Save money and time charging most battery sizes
The CC Quick Charger-2 meets C. Cranes high quality and performance standards while providing excellent value. Other battery chargers can overcharge batteries creating heat, which reduces battery life. The QuickCharger-2 has a micro-controller that monitors the charging status of each battery and shuts it off at the right time so it does not overcharge. This smart technology is called Negative Delta V and is considered one of the best ways of extending the lifetime of rechargeable batteries.
The CC Quick Charger-2 recharges up to four AA, AAA, C, or D or two 9-volt NiMH batteries at a time. The Quick Charger-2 is not recommended for NiCad type batteries at this time. Just insert any combination of these batteries in any state of charge and close the lid. A Discharge option is available which can be used to improve the capacity of new or seldom used batteries. There is also a USB port in back for charging your MP3 player, cell phone or other USB device. When using the USB port for charging, you must remove any batteries you have in the charger or wait until they have finished charging before the USB port will activate. Additional features include an LCD display screen that shows each battery and its charge level as it charges or discharges. The LCD display will also let you know if the battery is bad or is causing a short circuit. And there is a safety timer built in for extra protection to prevent overcharging in special circumstances.
The CC QuickCharger-2 comes with a 100-240V AC adapter for use in USA or overseas. It's so versatile you can even use an optional 12V DC car adapter to power it for charging in a vehicle, during emergencies or for off-the-grid use. Batteries not included. One-year warranty.
The Quick Charger 2 will:
Charge up to four (4) A, AA, C, OR D size batteries.
Monitor the status of each battery individually and will shut off when the batteries are fully charged.
It can also charge all of your USB devices, including your cell phone, if used with your USB patch cord.

Also, the url to download the manual is,

It looks interesting. The charging current for AA/C/D is 1300 ma and for AAA is 500 ma. It also has a discharge function at 400 ma. I'm thinking of getting one but was wondering if anyone has gotten one yet. I would sure appreciate your impressions. I realize that this was somewhat recently released so this may be premature but you never know.
Finally, i'm not affiliated with CCrane or anything like that. I'm just looking for a decently priced universal charger that works off 12-volts.
Thanks.
P.S. It also has a usb charging port.
