Default Re: 'Household' battery chargers.

Uniross. I still have the Uniross NiCd charger I bought from Argos in the 1980's. It takes up to 8 cells (AA, C, and D) in three groups of two and two singles, and three PP3 cells. One of the single cell/PP3 positions has a meter operated by a push button to indicate voltage. I used to use it regularly to charge the 4Ah SAFT "D" NiCd cells for my cycle lamps. These days I normally use chargers bought from Jessops in one of their sales where the charger plus batteries cost no more than the batteries. The Jessups ones take AA and AAA cells, in pairs only, are for both NiCd and NiMh cells and, unlike the Uniross, cut out after a preterermined time. One will also take a PP3.
