I charge the same way cordy does. I bought a portable charger - a Prophet plus 2. ac-dc input, i leave it on the 1 amp setting. Went to radio shack and sprung for the battery holders- i also use this charger to refresh 4 to 8 aaa -s for the flashlights i buy at the dollar store- have holders for c and d size for other flash lights- mag-lites- ect-ect. Tower hobbies is close to you, it can be bought cheaper than tower, but you will get it quick tru these guys. The Prophets a nice little unit that will pay for its self in battery savings. If you surf to MCM electronics they some times have good deals on NMh battries- bought a bunch of aa size for 1 dollar each- They also sell battries with solder tabs so i can make my own packs for the cars. When you are poor - ya gotta improvise- nice spelling!!

holders

some of the battery holders have a built in connector for a 9 volt battery clip, others just have wires. radio shack should also have the connector to fit on the charger. ya know, years ago- every time i drove by a golf course i thought of my Honda cr 500 with fresh knobbies mounted up-- Now that i am into 1/5 th scale- i not only think about the fifth scale cars- i run them when i can get away with it!!! early in the mornings before any ones up and about. recall caddyshack?- the scene where the judge says to the irish dude- do you know what Gophers can do to a golf course?? Redcats!? LOL!

all jokeing aside, my reasoning for charging out of electronic devices is because all batterys outgas when charged, and the little ones we all use heat up, things can happen if a battery shorts- or if the chager goes haywire. the chargers internal fuse will save the charger- but when a ni-cad or nmh battery whiskers over-- shorts out- any thing can happen. a concrete floor or bricks lessens the risk of fire.
