Family's heading out on what has steadily become an annual trip somewhere in the states.... This time we're going on a cruise in late August.
I plan on bringing a 2AA light (Not gonna risk the D10 Tribute, not willing to lose it... still haven't decided between buying the SA2 or P20A2 Mk. II, leaning heavily to the SA2 since BatteryJunction stocks it, and I want the photon freedom micro UV from them as well), and wondered if the MQN06 would suffice? Yes i'm bringing spare cells along with me, and I do have a Maha C9000 which is staying at home, but the MQN's more compact and should fit easily in luggage (hm should I bring a power cord in case its too wide for the wall sockets...). Cell balancing therefore shouldn't be an issue, they'll have a nice refresh cycle by the time they hit home (which they're due in for by the end of summer anyway).
My main point of concern would be is the MQN06 -delta controlled, or is it a timer based unit? My general light usage allows the D10 to run solidly for a month before needing a charge, however Cruise ship cabins with no windows are frankly stupidly dark at any hour of the day when the lights are off (not to mention the switches are so far away) so it'll be serving duty as a general room light and night stand light (and a bike light when I get home). The lights being 2AAs, I'd think the imbalance between cells would be low, so concerns are primarily how the unit reacts to partially charged cells.
My feeble attempts at searching have not found any details about this, only the general Sanyo charger threads which skim over the units other than the MQN05 and assorted single channel chargers.
I appreciate any info!
