I tend to just use a 110v inverter, that way I can charge anything.

See http://nordicgroup.us/chargers/

But the answer is Maha MH-C401FS.

Avoid using a 110V inverter. It isn't necessary, and it complicates
things.

I use both, depends on what I need to power.

I use a Power Tech Plus MB-3537, charges NiMh in about an hour and does up 
to 4 cells on separate charge circuits. 

I use a powerport 12 which runs off either a lighter plug or a wall wart.

It can charge two 4 packs of AA or AAA plus four AAA thru C (maybe D) for a
total of 12 batteries at a time.

do I need this? Heck YES. we use for our model rocket club the following....

cobra FRS radios (5 of them with 3 AA bateries)
my film camera just recieved a high speed autowinder (4 AA) and I have two
flashes for it (2 AA + 2 AA)
portable radio scanner for tracking rocket locators and monitoring aircraft
to avoid (4AA)
last year we built a RC lander/rover unit with 2 recievers (4 AA + 4 AA) and
two transmitters (8 AA +8 AA)

and I know I am missing *something* but that still come to over 50 AA
bateries. admittedly I do not have 50 AA batteries, as we usually grab
batteries from one thing to run another, but I am trying to get that
eliminated, thank goodness for ebay.....

I wont even get into the setup we have for launch controllers, as that is a
12 volt setup and we are building gear for that voltage standard as well
(camcorders, launch controllers, PA, FRS base radio, etc.)

An inverter can save purchasing, and carrying, several different 12v 
chargers.  That simplifies things.  For a single device, you are correct.

I have a 300Watt inverter in the car as well, for some things there simply 
is not any 12V chargers and this way I can get by without.

Do you know if this charger is available in Canada.  If you do not I would 
suppose other members of the organisation in Canada would.  Are you 
privileged to their address.

I have lots of chargers, four in line, but I have not been able to get one 
that does eight "AAs" at a time.

I thank you:
Keith

The Ansmann Energy 16 does up to 12 AA or AAA at one time + up to 2 9V.

To reply no_ HPMarketing Corp.

got it off ebay looking for "Nihm AA charger"

Did a google search before I bid and there are a few places that sell them
outright.

I found it but it is out of stock I guess everybody else wants it too.

I thank you for your help:
