Charging AA Batteries
#1
How are you guys charging single AA batteries for radios?
I hooked mine up with a battery holder to my MRC 960 charger to charge them, but I'm wondering if there is a better way? Should I just buy something like the La Crosse BC-900 charger and use it?

you can get 4aa 1C peak detection chargers for not much at all from radioshack I expect.
or, you could get a plug to fit in the back of your radio and hook it up to a 12v 300mah mains adaptor.

I used lots of stuff, a dedicated charger that came with a Futaba air radio, a cheap Rayovac AA only 4 individual cell peak detect charger that I bought with batts for our digital camera, and every kind of RC peak detector charger I own.
Which do I prefer? Whichever one is handiest when I need a charge is the first choice. But I do like the cheap individual cell charger to get them all equalized at charge, even if it only does 4 at a time. Never had a SpinTec Individual Cell Charger, this is my low budget imitation! But I don't really think it's that big of a deal either.
Cheers!
