Default What rechargeables?

In my Grundig Satellit 800 (a "battery-eater") I use C. Crane NiMH "D"
size batteries - they are rated 9000 mAH. They cost $9.95 each here in
the US which is rather high now. (When I bought them several years ago,
they were "the only game in town.") There are others which have ratings
up to 11000 mAH and which cost less. C. Crane's Quick Charger, which
can charge all sizes of NiCads and NiMHs, sells for $39.95 in the US.
There are now other chargers which are at least as good and possibly
better for the same or less money. You'd have to check what is
available locally for you.


I use Maha, but the NiMH D cells are awfully expensive, if I may say so,
both the 7000 and the 11000. On the other hand, alkaline D cells are pretty
pricey too.

The C Crane Quick charger is old but has the advantage that it charges
flat-dead batteries where newer chargers refuse to recognize them, which
you need if you have run one dead accidentally. Having started the charge
in the old C Crane, switch over to a newer charger. Also it has a voltmeter
that's handy, in case you need to test which battery is which or something.
