Default NiMH Smart Chargers

Hmm, guys.. any idea where I might find the cheap Minwa Intelligent Charger ? Went to Mustafa today, and couldn't find
it there. Only the Sony 1-hr charger and other timer-based chargers.

Recommendations for comparable alternatives (low-price, electronic-controlled) ?

TIA.

GP rapid appears to be the cheapest intelligent charger around. i bought it from carrefour for $49 incl 6 x 1600 AA + 4 free alkaline AAs

i usually buy my batteries from the B1 shop in Sim Lim Towers, it's near the escalator. Power ratings have gone up too beyond 1600 mA!

Sanyo 1850 mA NiMH $6 each
GP 2000 mA NiMH $6 each

Note that Sanyo uses the minimum power rating forr thier batteries while GP uses the max, I think so don't be misled by higher ratings. Hope this helps!

Thanks, but it wasn't batteries that I was looking for.
$6 is a very steep price for the Sanyo 1850's. You can get them from AP at $3 per piece, $4 from www.w3cube.com and $11.50 for 4 at Mustafa. Hope this helps.

Thanks, was actually looking at the <$30 price range. I already have a Rayovac which is $49 + 2 x 1600AA, am looking for a 2nd charger for GF's place. Looks like MW4798 is the only one with such a low price?
