Battery Charger for AA and AAA

I'm looking for one that will charge a single, odd number, or even number of AA and/or AAA batteries, on individual circuits. Any recommendations?

Thanks

i just ordered this one.

Arrives tomorrow. Supposed to do what you ask. I'll let you know.
Also comes in 16 slot.

Thanks. I'd appreciate your thoughts once you've used it.

I can't really recommend on any specific model but I would advise avoiding the 'quick' or 'rapid' charge models. By past experience they seem the reduce the battery life to about 50% of the recharge cycle rating.

the end of this thread has a bit of talk about chargers

After a little research and review reading, I kinda narrowed to down to:

La Crosse BC1000
Maha C9000
Titanium MD-1600L
Opus BT-C2000

then I saw this at B&H:

Really good reviews, 8-bay, all the features I'm looking for (I think, and a decent price).

Still waiting on more input, though

I've been using this one for a few years, and I purchased it based on comments here on POTN at the time:

nqjudo sums it up...NOT the QUICK CHARGE charger

• The charge rate is expressed in terms of the battery capacity (C)
  
• Charging at 1C takes just over 1 hour.
  
• Charging at 0.5C takes just over 2 hours.
  
• Charging at 2C is not recommended, but if you did it would take just over 0.5 hours.
  

I have used the Maha c9000 for a few years. works great!

Yeah, I'm not looking for anything fast; I don't mind charging overnight. And I'm working with good ol' Eneloops (2000 mAh I believe). So what max charge current would I be looking at without harming the batteries? Some of the chargers I've been looking at say "quick" or "rapid" but give you optional charge rates.

The Maha MH-C9000 defaults to 1A. Drop the eneloops in and it takes off. I have two and they have been charging my eneloops for several years with good results. Anywhere between .5C and !C is fine for your batteries. I do have a La Crosse charger but the batteries get hot even below .5C. The Maha, above .5C, keeps the batteries relatively cool.

As mentioned avoid the rapid chargers if you want long life and performance out of your cells. Ideally the slower the charge rate, with in reason, the better it is for the cell.

I usually buy a charger with a user selectable charge rate and use between .5 and 1 depending on the cell type and size.

The latest version of the Opus BT-C2000 is all I would ever buy.

I've owned the Titanium MD-1600L for 2 years. I'm thinking about buying a second one so I can charge 32 batteries at once.
