Rechargeable batteries & charger recommendation...

[metalheart]

Still not sorted batteries for my Oregon yet.

Can someone recommend a battery/charger?

Looking at Eneloops combo for ~£28 as benchmark.

Don't mind spending a couple of quid more now if it's worth it...

Eneloops are the best

But 7dayshop good to go are great value

My charger is a nitecore i4, not the best in the world but it lets me charge 18650s too so is very handy

Had it for years and has been very reliable

I was going to recommend exactly what Ben said - and I came to this conclusion seperately from Ben (amusingly we were talking to Jameso, and when one of us disappear, the other would re-appear and just repeat what the other had said )

I'd actually be tempted by the nitecore D4 charger now - seems to be a bit smarter (charging logic), but only really worth it if you're fiddling with li-ion batteries too.

So, this charger?

D4 looks to be 2x cost....

Yar. I've had mine 3-4 years now.

Cool, thanks for the info.

Is it worth stumping up for the eneloops pros? Or are the 'classic' white ones good enough?

If you have a Cosco card they've got an Eneloop batteries + charger pack in some stores atm.

There's 8xAA's + 4xAAA's & a basic Panasonic BQ-CC51 charger, all for £22.18

I'm using a Youshiko YC4000 charger and Amazon Basic NIMHs. They're only rated at 2400mAh but seem to charge higher than that.

The charger has rescued a few older 7DS batteries which I overall found a bit variable.

+1 for Eneloops. I just have the white ones and they are very good.

Ikea Ladda are quite good for a budget option (£5.50 for 4)
