I saw some neat looking battery chargers at the Wal Mart store
electronics department this afternoon.(I always check out the
electronics department and the magazine racks too,I also bought a new
computer magazine at the store along with my usual Beer and grub) Saker
www.sakar.com makes them.Plug the charger in a car cigarette lighter
(the charger comes with two AA batteries) and the batteries get charged
up.

You could always find solar chargers and put those chargers in an open
room in your home. Even a few hours of direct sunlight a day will charge
those batteries. And as long as you are not needing 24 hour a day radio,
you're probably going to be in luck. Vehicle charging might be an option
too as I have noticed a cellphone will charge much faster in a vehicle
than in a home.
