Looks like it only does 2 batteries at a time?
Searching on the web found the same model charger but looking completely different- that deffinately takes 4 batteries at a time.
Also seems that it is a slow (overnight) charger?

I think there might be some better deals - anyone?

Don't worry. I've aleady bought mine as I got it with the £17.99 1gb SD card and it doesn take 4 at a time. It takes 2 at the front and 2 at the back. It's a very clever piece of kit actually. It's switches off the one side when it's done and will keep charging the other side if there is still more to charge. There's a little flick switch on them to that comes down to allow the AAA batteries to get a perfect fit.

I've been looking for a charger for ages. You can't even get this deal as cheap on ebay. And that's before postage. I challenge anyone to find a better deal!

I bought one of these off Ebay a couple of months ago for less than £9 delivered, they are still on Ebay now if you search, but they only came with 4 x 2300 mah AA batteries though, not the AAA. It charges 4 batteries at a time and takes 9 hours to charge.

just to say about 6 months ago I bought a charger from 7dayshop which was around £7 I think - no free batteries though, and totally different to the charger you are talking about apart from one thing. I could not understand why the the AAA batteries would not fit or charge, just read the above post by Carl and finally worked it out!! a flick switch!! :T I am normally quite technically minded (I think...) but had a bit of a blind spot here.. thanks carl

Sounds good but the AAA's are 900NiMhs. Is this low capacity or normal for AAA? I'd be using an AAA for my MP3 player so I'd want a good battery for that..

From looking at various suppliers over the last few weeks, 900 mAH is pretty much top of the consumer range for AAA's - should be more than adequate for an MP3 player.

oo.. I'm very tempted.. although don't really need teh charger.. but the batteries alone are a good price.
