A little off-topic perhaps, but here goes. I'm looking to get a new AA charger to feed my battery-hungry camera and I noticed Energizer sells both 1 hour and a 15 minute chargers. Surely that's got to bad for the cells though? My overnight charger already heats them up nicely and the 15 minute charger has a built-in fan too. What do you think, would they both be alright to use?

Here are the two chargers:

Great, I'll just pick up some 2700mAh batteries then to use with my old charger.

Fast chargers burn your batteries out. Trickle chargers would be best. I was just reading up on some to get for my camera and I hear the La Crosse charger is very good. You can choose how fast to charget the battery and it also has "refresh" cycles to get your batteries back up to good condition.

yeah IME trickle charging makes the battery last longer in use as well as prolongong their lifespan
