Spec me a battery charger for AAs, AAAs, Eneloops and others

Feek · 4 Jul 2021 at 22:20

As per the title really. I have a mixture of AA and AAA batteries, some are Eneloops, some are Ni-MH and there might even still be some Ni-CADs in the house.

I have an Opus BT-C3100 but since my daughter tried to charge some odd vape battery, it's been a bit broken. It restarts at random and as it's old, the contacts are getting a bit poor now.

I don't need anything fancy.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

What's the difference between this Nitecore i4

And this one?

Apart from a couple of quid?

Oops didn't see the requirement for 18650s.

There is no requirement for 18650s.

They both look identical to me

That’s the newer model so should be even better. I have the older one…

That one looks newer than the ones I linked.

Ikea have good rechargeable batteries.

I wasn't asking for batteries

Looks like I'm between the Xtar VC4 and the Nightcore D4 at the moment, probably leaning towards the latter.

Youshiko YC4000. I've had this one for a few years, it's pretty great.

This is similar to the one I have now (same buttons, same options and modes) which went titsup.com after my daughter tried to charge her vape battery so it's really put me off this type.
