I bought a Rayovac 2 hour charger, it works good but it's heavier than
usual and uses a wall wart. I save a _lot_ of money by using
rechargeable cells. Once I got used to putting chargers in different
places, such as home, work, and in the car, it wasn't too much hassle
keeping them charged. It's about $15 a charger with a set of four Ni-MH
cells.
If you're going to keep using alkalines, you should go to
www.cheapbatteries.com and order a large supply of alkalines. I've
found that the 40 cell brand name 'bricks' such as GE/Sanyo sell locally
for 37 cents a cell, and as low as 25 cents on sale. Or you may be able
to get off-brands such as Ultralast for even cheaper. I checked
www.cheapbatteries.com and they have Rayovac AA Alkaline cells for $.25
if you buy 50. Of course you have to count the cost of shipping, also.
BTW, by locally, I mean I can get them at Fry's electronics.
