Hey all, me again..
still on about this hump pack and stuff..
here is a link to a charger i found on ebay..
I have a hump pack i made from 5 NiMH AA 2500mAh rechargeable batteries, i know nothing about these things(except that them being 2500 is pretty good.)
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Universal-supe...QQcmdZViewItem
would this charger be good? in the sense of preventing overcharging and lettting know when batteries are charged etc??
been searching for an easily affordable charger for ages.. have cheap trickle chargers but they suck..
thanks guys...

It's not a peak charger, so there are better options. Plus it will require a 12V power supply, which will likely cost more than the charger.
If you're on a budget, here's two chargers that are pretty good for the money:

I don't know how easy it will be to find them in the UK, but it shouldn't be too hard.

I'm not familiar with either of them. There's not a lot of info, but it doesn't look like either is a delta peak charger, although the second one may be.
Problem here is I don't know what chargers are available to you in the UK, so i can't really recommend something for you. I think the power you get from you mains different from ours, we get 120V 60Hz. That might be why you can't get the chargers i'm familiar with as they are made for North American power.
Your best bet is to go to a local rc race track or flying field and get some advice from local hobbyists.
You could also ask what's a good entry level charger in the UK in this forum:
