    Default AA & Charger

    Hey,
    I used to use 3 4AA sony chargers to charge my 16AA, sadly all of that stuff got stolen.
    I currently have only a SB600 and use all of the time.
    but i would like to get into high speed hummingbird photography in the next couple of years.
    which charger to you recommend.
    i dont have tons of many as im still in high school
    i was looking at this on http://www.amazon.com/Powerex-MH-C80...sr=1-1-catcorr
    any other good options?
    Thanks a lot,
    Alfredo

    One consideration is - the faster you charge your batteries, the hotter they get.
    Heat is a battery killer. If you want your batteries to last go with as slow a charger as you can live with.

    Never, ever buy the "15 minute charger"!

    I have been really happy with the Delkin modular system (links below) The batteries don't get hot, warm but not hot, and I've used this for about a year now without a problem. Artie is selling this stuff and the link below is to his site.

    I really like my powerex 8-cell charger! Charges each battery separately so it is easy to find the duds.
