This is a good deal. I bought the Sanyo family pack, which is similar but with the C and D adapters, for $30 at Canada Computers. The Shoppers deal is also a good one, if you can find stock.
[quote name='teletran']Just a heads up that the charger only charges 2 or 4 batteries and it's an overnight charger, if the specs on it are correct. Might not matter to most but some people want a charger that charges a single battery.[/QUOTE]
Doesn't the 2 or 4 batteries at a time apply to pretty much all chargers? I've never seen one that does odd numbers, unless there's such as thing as a single-battery charger.

Nice catch, I'd just assumed it was the same 1-hour charger they'd been including with their other sets.

CAGiversary!
Was pretty close to buying this, but the overnight charging this killed it for me. I really need a set of rechargables as my Wii Remotes eat batteries

I got a sanyo eneloop 4AA/AAA pack couple months back with the 1 hour charger. The charger won't charge when it is plug vertically it will only charge (sometimes) when it is laying flat on a power bar. It could be that the charger I have is faulty.

It applies to a lot of chargers but not all. The 1 hour charger mentioned in a previous post can charge 1-4 batteries. Independent charging circuits are a handy feature.

Ah OK, mine is a 6-7 hour charger that does 2 or 4, so obviously not a quick charger. TBH, my electronics usually need a pair of batteries, so I don't know how useful a single battery charger would be for me. 6-7 hours isn't the end of the world, so I'm cool with that.

It's more that the independent circuits charge each battery fully, but when they charge in pairs, each battery only gets charged until one is full. Since batteries discharge at different rates, this will leave one with less power than the other. It's just harder on the battery health, I think.
