Posted: Hi All, I just got a couple pairs of LED poi and they use rechargeable AAA NiMH batteries. I've been looking at chargers/extra batteries and there are so many different choices I'm a bit lost.
The prices vary from $15 - $50 with the more expensive ones digitally displaying capacity, voltage, current, etc. Is it worth it to get a nicer charger?
Any recommendations on chargers and/or batteries would be much appreciated. Thanks

Posted: Hi Mark,
the MiMH batteries do not need a special, nice charger.
I would make sure that the charger: - is switching off or reduce the charging current when the battery is full - indicates e.g. with a LED going from red to green that charging is finished.
As NiMH batteries do not have a so called memory effect it is not necessary to buy a expensive charged that can discharge the battery before charging.
I think my charger did cost ~ 20$, can charger up to 4 AAA batteries with 200 mA/hr. Means the 700 mA battery will take ~ 4 hrs. to charge. The charger reduces the charging current to 20 mA when finished an indicates the finished job with an LED going red -> green.
Hope that helped....

Posted: I just got the $15 charger from flowtoys and it works wonderfully! it charges until it senses that they're full and turns red.
The only luck is bad luck.
Shut up before I stall my poi up your ass
