AA battery charger holder.... redneck style

[500swmag]

so I figured I'd make a quick charge holder for my loose AA batts since I have this slick Piranha peak charger.

She ain't purty but she gets the job done!

as long as it works who cares what it looks like, its a charger for gods sake

Oh dear, baby Jesus is crying. With limited resources very nice work.

I say good job! Wood isn't flame resistant, so be careful. Can you charge slower than 1 amp? Your batteries will last a lot longer.

The smaller cells do best at half capacity charging or slower. So if they are 2100 cells, charge at 1 amp or slower. If you want the longest runtimes charge at .2 amps.

go to radio shack and get a AA holder thing for like $2.00 it what I use works great.

I like your idea... but I'm somewhat time challenged these days. I bought one of these.

I have been charging my 2500mah AA packs at 1.5A. Should I back the rate off a bit? They get pretty warm but definitely not too hot to touch.
