Wii, torches, etc.

Vapextech on ebay any good?

Or similarly priced alternatives.

Required after my Aldi one had an unfortunate accident in the garage....

This is more expensive but I have one of these, after reading many reviews, and it's a beast

It will charge, discharge, cycle, and break-in batteries

Another vote here for the Powerex C9000 one suggested by Lakes_Puma - a good bit of kit.

I have no experience of the Vapextech one, but expect it will be fine - they have a pretty good reputation.

I use this far cheaper one - you don't really need anything all that special just to charge NiMH batteries, just one which supplies juice and cuts off properly

The mains supply bit on mine let out its magic smoke, but it still works fine off the 12V input, so not a big problem.

I think you cam charge Niamh too quickly - my old fast charger trashed some batteries.

Very happy with one of thesE [url= http://www.batterylogic.co.uk/technoline/technoline-BL700.asp ]technoline[/url] chargers. Vales looks fine though.
