My system has evolved from indifferently chaotic to this well planned setup.
(I left out my $40 DMM and my other $40 DMM)

ROTFL
My setup looks like that, jumbled up with 2 laptops, their chargers, a bamboo board (for cutting and serving food), yogurt, walkie talkies, keyboards, monitors, chocolate box and lot of other stuff I haven't seen in a while and of which I don't even want to think about. All of that on a desk, of course. Floor is for AA chargers, UPSes, printer and computer cases. And more stuff I don't want to think about.
I'm afraid to look *behind* the desk.
I've since added an Xtar WP6 II and others, and cleaned up the wire routing.
Hey, that's a smart idea, mounting it all on a board like this. I might have to steal it ;) (the idea, not the board).
I just use a Maha C9000. I'm an Eneloop-only guy, so I don't really need any of the super duper fancy stuff.

Charging my car battery
Price, nice setup you got there.
I do not have a specific charging setup, but my preferred chargers are:
For AA/AAA NiMH I uses two of these:
Sometimes I need to check the capacity of AA/AAA batteries, there I uses this:
When I have a lot of 18650, it is this charger (It is not a good hobby charger, but I love the four channels in one box):
For most other batteries (Both LiIon and C/D NiMH) I uses these two:
HKJ ,
How do you like the iCharger 208b? I've been wanting one for a long time. Have you tried it hooked up to the PC to graph?
My awesome set-up is this great charger...it came free with my eneloops...NC-MQN06.
Its my only charger and I only have AAA and AA batteries.
I like the iCharger 208B, it has the usual charger and discharge functions, but it can also cycle the batteries a number of times and later read the discharge capacity for each cycle.
The memory is to much hassle to use when doing a lot of battery tests, but good enough for a occasional test. The log software has lot of functions, but is not as user friendly as I would like.
Mine is very similar. I have the white 4-place Sony BCG-34HLD that I purchased with batteries for ~$17, and for my li-ion, I have the cheap 4-position DX one. ~$25 invested :)
Thanks!
The budget charging setup. Behind a picture on the dresser.
