Well is it me or oes everyone have the same problem?

Chargers for AA,AAA and C & D rechargables.

I have webt through several chargers over the past few years. I tried the cheap ones, and the expensive ones.

I ended up going to Quantom batteries for most stuff. But some things like keyboards and mice plus mini Mag lights use only consumable type batteries.

I have had two of the small Energizer power centers plus the big power center designed for recharging the energizer NIMH batteries die on me. When I bouhgt the camera and flash I picked up a digital recharger and the Military cave me a V? recharger and it works the best.

But it never fails if i need a AA it is dead throw in the charger and the charger is dead.

Enough about that. What chaarger and smal batteries do you use for those items where you have no choice.

Part of the problem is that for years I used a Logitech Wireless Keyboard with a recharable Mouse but it has been acting up lately and I switched to a wireless HP setup that came with my Post replicator. It eats batterys like candy. I been using the non rechargable ones but I amgettign a bulk pack every month pf AA and another or AAAs.

WHat do you use? My batts are abput three years old but arenot heavly used since I got hte quantoms.

Help.

I use various chargers and various brands of batteries. No problems here at all. My only problem was a Gyration keyboard that never performed well and eventually keeled over and died.

Energizer recharchables + Energizer 15 minute charger.
Besides AA's for the flash, I have been using this charger for 3 years with AAA's that must be replaced weekly in my TV/Audio system remote (iluminated touch screen) and it still works great!
