I've tried doing a bunch of searching of both google and CPF, but I think I need to ask here.
I'm looking for a charger for a friend who I've recently gifted a 2 AA light with eneloops. This charger needs to be quite simple. Just put in batteries and take them out when there's some indication to do so. I'd prefer that the charger have independent channels so each battery will get the optimum charge. He's going to buy this charger himself, so I'm trying to keep it inexpensive.
I have VERY few options in mind. This one from Titanium seems like a good one, but I can't find any reviews on it. It's right at $20, and for $12 more, he could by a Lacrosse BC-700, which is supposed to be a great charger. The only problem with this guy and the BC-700 is that he'd have to set the charging current each time. He can learn how to use it, but he'd be WAY better off with something that simply defaults to the right charging rate for eneloops.
I'd be grateful for any recommendations.
Thanks guys.
Brian.
