[QUOTE="Glevum Owl, post: 606815, member: 27703"] Thanks for taking the time to reply and make recommendations, they are appreciated. I thought this would be any easy purchase! What I did not appreciate was the complexity of the subject. There are some sites with serious and, to me, incomprehensible, reviews and statistics that prompt enthusiastic debate. The parts I understood, plus trawling through all the seemingly intelligent reviews I could find, yielded a winner. [URL="http://charger.nitecore.com/product/digicharger-d4"]The Nitecore D4[/URL]. Should arrive from Amazon tomorrow or Monday. I've accepted a couple of compromises: no discharge function and a low charge rate and therefore longer time for 3 or more batteries but I can live with those. However it ticks all the other boxes: it'll take Li-ion for the new LED torch, Ni-MH for the camera stuff plus size AA, AAA and, as a bonus, C too. It looks to be a complete doddle to use and it gets generally good reviews from nerds and real people. That it's packaging bears more than a passing resemblance to that of Nikon's did not influence my decision one jot.;) [/QUOTE]
