Further to a recent thread about AA and AAA battery charger recommendations, I just wanted to show you my 'old faithful' charger.

It fits all sizes of battery, thanks to its spring loaded negative contact arms, and even has contacts to attach 9 volt batteries.

Bought from Tandy in 1986, it's still doing everything I need it to, without any fuss or fault. Alright, it might not be 'smart', or as fast as newer models, but it suits me.

It lost its fancy smoked perspex hinged lid years ago, but it still does the job.
