    Default Best Battery Charger

    Have the Delkin 2900 MaH batteries, and I find that if I use the fast charger, they last for about five flashes, my older slower charger holds the charges for a long time, but take a long time to charge. Ant suggestions for a charger that will be faster and hold the charge?

    Fast - slow - recond.

    Jackie--

    I'll second Dave's recommendation for the PowerEx Charger. It has several modes, and one is a "recondition" mode that should get your Delkin batteries back in shape. I've recovered lots of folks' batteries when bringing it to workshops.

    You can read more about it here: PowerEx MH-C801D

    Thanks! Checked the site and it looks good, and I like that it does eight. Will be ordering it.

    Something not mentioned, that was very important to me, when I purchased this Maha PowerEx MH-C801D charger several years back, is the fact that the charger may be used in your vehicle and powered from a 12 volt power outlet (lighter plug). Having said that, I am not sure if the charger is packaged the same way from all vendors. I purchased mine from a Ham radio outlet, as this charger is extremely popular with Ham's (amateur radio operator) such as myself. My charger came with this additional 12 volt power cord.

    That's what happens when you talk to soon, I have several Maha chargers, and I messed up, as my MH-C801D does not have a 12 volt adapter cord, it is my MS-C401FS that I leave in my vehicle that does. - whoops!
