a good charger is a super brain 989. i have one, its great for quick charge. don't let the programing options trip u up w/ it. all you have to do on the 989 is hit up and start charge. works for 1-8 cell ni-cd or nimh batteries. as for a batery, not much of an electric guy, buth the higher the milli amp rating the longer you will have power, sugest a nimh.
