My wife bought a Ray-o-vac recharger a few years ago while we were on vacation in California, the battery pack on our HP935 camera was pooping out after a few minutes and took for-friggin'-ever to recharge.
The Ray-o-vac device came with an adapter for the car as well as the standard wall plug (big plus, major reason she picked that one!). Four batteries, fully charged in one hour plugged into the wall, a little longer to charge in the car. Example: we were on our way to Lake Tahoe, bought the charger in Susanville and plugged it in, batteries were fully charged by the time we got through Reno roughly 2 hours later. It can charge four AA batteries at a time or four AAA batteries at a time, or 2 of each (the AA charging plugs are over the AAA ones so the AAs won't fit over the AAAs). We absolutely love this lil' device. Got it at WalMart and the batteries come in packs of 4 and 8 (we bought some extra sets so now just about all our battery powered devices, including remotes are on ray-o-vac rechargeables). I have not noticed any degradation in the quality of the charge, though I have noticed that other brands of rechargables don't do nearly as well. I'll check for the model number when I get home tonight, If you'd like.
