JMT has been kind enough to build an amp for me, and now I want to get good rechargable batteries for it. Conventional wisdom round here suggests the MAHA NiMh rechargable 9v's from Thomas Distributing are the ones to get. I'll also be getting some AAa's for use in my Panasonic 570.
My question is about the charger. There is a $36.97 charger with many smart features and a $13.90 charger that would also charge the batteries I want to buy.
My question is: do the power conditioning features and the other bells and whistles really make a difference in battery performance? The literature indicates the power conditioning features are really only necessary when using NiCd batteries. Is the convenience of not having to remove the batteries immediately after charging the only real reason to pay the extra 20? The cheaper charger has a 15 hour timer that will automatically shut down the unit (great for the 9v's), but will over charging for few hours really damage the AAA's over time?
Please help!
