Personally, I use NiMH in nearly everything. They work great in remotes (go about 6 or 8 months between charges.... ). For flashlights, I have a set of Ds and a set of AAs fully charged..... For digital cameras the beat alkalines hands down...
I have seen them run down much faster than alkalines in some FRS radios (they run down in eight hours vs. 20 hours for alkalines).
The scoop on this particular charger though, is that it 1) charges in 1 hour at 1500mah, 2) charges cells individually(like a single for a nomad player or three for an FRS radio) instead of pairs. This charger, along with the (MAHA MH-C401FS 100, are a couple of the very few chargers that will do individual cells. Most require pairs or all 4 . If you look around the net, most folks consider the MAHA charger the better of the two, but the Rayovac 1hour charger is well regarded (especially at half the price).
Until this charger, I have been using an older MAHA MH-C204F, but it was starting to take a long time to charger up the newer 1800mah batteries. Me and a couple of friends went for the Duracell Accu deal (.85 AA and .75 AA free shipping for orders over $50).
This Rayovac deal can be had with either two batteries or the car kit. If you already have lots of batteries, get the car kitted charger!

Can you provide information about the Panasonic RapidCharge technology? This is the first time that I have heard Panasonic has specific charging technology. I have never seen any Panasonic charger which would come close to functionality with either Maha or Rayovac.
BTW, I have Rayovac PS4 and it is fabulous. I also have the Panasonic 5-hr charger which I threw away once I purchased the PS4

Will this charger charge 1800 mAh batteries to full capacity in 1 hour? Is this the best in this price range?

I assume it will take a little longer to charge 1800 mAh batteries since it is a 1600 mAh charger. Is that correct?
Is $25 really a good deal? I went to Walgreens today and there are 3 of them sitting there. Didn't seem too hot to me. Any comment?
Are there other slower chargers that are better and cheaper?
