In Veers thread there is a small unnoticed response that should be pointed out ....

this charger comes with 4 rechargable batteries too..
I've had these come with duraloops but most of them are black top
but figure that into the price since even 4 regular rechargables are worth at least 6$
the reason this charger is cheap is because it comes with a austrailian type plug ...to wit you can either buy a $1.50 el cheapo adapter ... feed it 12volts into the side with a easy as hell to find wallwart with a 3mm plug ...or give it 12V off of a cigarette lighter plug ...
Or all of the above .
I bought a few at 13$ and have run them for years .
If you try to buy the us version of the same thing you'll find it being sold from 45 to 60$
It was a 10$ deal about 3 years ago on schloop and they were almost all duraloops back then ...and people still cried about the wrong plug ..
I say get over it ."there's no crying in electronics ".. great charger w/ USB outlet on the side ..
great deal at $10 /12.99/or 16$
then I'd talk to ChibiM or find some duraloops
vs
the U.S. model
