I''m using a similar charger from Energizer.

Or get the pack with 8xAA batteries and charger for $25
Good deal.

Status: offline 		Those sanyo 2700`s are alright... They dont work well in super high drain devices like a Canon 580EX flash, they cycle the flash too slow, but they behave like standard nimh after about a year.. Take them off the charger and let them sit for a day or two and their pretty much dead...

Status: online 		I've had the Sanyo 2500's in my JR XS3 for at least 2 years and they have graduated to the Futaba 3PK now.

If there has been any loss in capacity, I haven't noticed it because they last for days without needing a recharge.
