how to charge 3 AAA batteries (not 2 or 4!)

mindovermatter

Hi,

I have got a decent head torch that I use every night to walk the dog.

It takes 3 AAA batteries which do run down rapidly on high beam.

My problem is that my battery charger only charges 2 or 4 batteries at any one time.

That means I have to keep charging up 4 batteries and then discarding one on every occasion.

Does anyone know of a battery charger that will charge 3 AAA batteries please?

Best wishes

I bought this for around £10ish a while ago. Good charger, fairly quick, can charge any number of batteries and has indicators for each.

Why not get another 2 batteries then you have 2 sets of 3?

Oh, c'mon, it can't be THAT difficult to rotate them.....

Mark them 1 thru 4, first time charge 1-3 and leave 4 out

Next time leave 1 out - then 2 - then 3 - then back to 4.

I've had one of these for a few years http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fast-Battery-Charger-AAA-Travel/dp/B002C7ZL3U/ref=sr_1_44?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1328042512&sr=1-44 - don't think I bought it from Amazon, so may not be the cheapest.

Why not get a wind up head torch?

I borrowed one of my brother in law and it's great. Winding it for a minute or so gives 20 minutes of light.

Do away with the batteries all together.

i like the look of this one, would be useful to be able to charge via the pc aswell as in the car.

as for the windup idea, i had one, cost me £5 when i bought it, 3 led lights, can either have 1 led or all 3, think 1 of the leds went bad cause it only works if i knock/tap it against my hand, and its not as bright as a 3 AAA 9 led light. But you dont want the charger that i use which can do upto 4 batteries at a time, its called Battery Genie cost £30 at the time of purchase from comets, not only recharges Ni-mh but also non-rechargbles aswell. and before you ask, yes i've tried it with the 24 pack batteries you can get for a £1. and yes it will recharge them, but i only tried on 4 of them, recharged upto 8times to. best non rechargables where rayovac Alkaline batteries 24 AA for £5 i got up B&Q, before Nimh became cheaper, when Ni-cad where the norm.
