Rechargable battery charger advice

elsmandino

Thanks everyone - that Ikea one does look really great for the price (especially as you can charge individual batteries).  

The Youshiko also looks very good - are there any features on that, that justify the significant price increase?

The one thing I should say is that charge time is not particularly important to me - I would prefer a slower charge that will prevent heat and keep the batteries going for longer.

Is there a chance that, looking at the specs/charging times, the IKEA is a bit too powerful?

Didn't see any specs for the Ikea charger. Its small so unlikely to be a really high output.

Just spotted the Lloytron charger on the 7 day shop link, Almost the same unit I bought over 30 years ago. Looks identical
except its only got one 9v battery connector where mine had 2. Still in the same case after all those years..
Case of if its not broken dont fix it or its cheap and it works?

It states between 4 and 8 hours to charge which will vary depending on battery capacity which is about average compared to any chargers I've had. Its certainly not a fast charger. It won't be too powerful.
