What do you recommend for a small AA charger with a folding plug (no chords)?

I saw this one that comes in an Eneloop kit. Any comments on this one or other models?

Energizer has a nice basic one (3-4 hour charge cycle I believe); their base model, not the fast one, is what you're looking for with a folding plug. I used it before going to a Maha and it works just as well (but not all the beeps and whistles).

A buddy of mine mentioned seeing a fold out plug Energizer one at wally world, I'll check it out, thanks. I have several Maha chargers at home but I want something for the camera bag. Canon has spoiled me with the no cord, folding plug chargers. ;)

I have a collapsible Energizer with folding plug. About 8 to 10 hours charge though. And 2 Eneloop kit chargers with folding plug, 4 to 6 hours charge. I carry enough spare batteries that I generally do not need to recharge, but that little Energizer can get me through if I need it. Actually, I have room to switch to one of the Eneloop chargers, and it is a bit faster so I may do that.

YMMV

Thanks, I'll probably try the Eneloop one since I need some more of those batteries anyway. It doesn't have to be tiny, just ditching the cord will make me happy.

I went to Walmart and bought a set of Rayovac Hybrid AA batteries. Came with a nice small charger (no cord) that lives in my camera bag....

$20 for eneloop wall charger and 4 batteries. I am waiting for the full power pack set, but prices are at $35 or more.

I have a Panasonic BQ-390 quick charger.
It's been good to me.

No costco near me and they don't have it listed for shipping to non-members that I can find.
