That's all fine and good when you need to recharge a set of batteries fast (i.e. taking a trip, minimal batteries with you). I have 2 4-cell fast chargers, both of which have 110V and 12V cords, just for such a need.
But when you have many items using the batteries at home, and never know when you will need a set, having 20 fully charged at all times is hard to beat ;-)
Remember, that Rayovac will only charge its' own special NimH batteries in 15min - if you put standard NimH in it, it will take about an hour, not any faster than most rapid chargers (I prefer Maha). And those Rayovac fast charge batteries cost a mint compared to $1 2000maH NimH from batteryspace ( http://www.batteryspace.com/product.asp?3=246 or http://www.batteryspace.com/product.asp?3=414 or http://www.batteryspace.com/product.asp?3=247 )

rce of power. At present I charges the AA cells on a ten
place Delta detect charger which has a separate LED for eachcell. Charging
time is about 12 hour for each set.
eeep! talk about slow! 12 hours for 10 AAs?
Anyways, if you use Ni-Mh AAs for anything from digital cameras to flashlights, I would highly recommend to anyone interested in buying a rapid charger to look at the Rayovac 15 minute 2AA and 4AA chargers on sale today at Walmart and other stores.
I have the 2 AA charger all-in-one unit here, and like the external AC adapter 4AA unit, it charges these AAs in 15 minutes flat! You'd never think they would get the charge time down this much, but they work, and the batteries last a long time in my digital camera (ie. they really do hold 2000mAh of charge and do charge fast, fine).
You can have the entire set of 10 AAs (can even do 12 since it'll be an even set of 3 sets of 4AAs), in about 45 minutes! or easily 10x+ times faster than the charger above.
Anyways, love mine! It's a blast (literally! with the fan going and air
whooshing out loud), and it saves me lots of time vs. waiting for slower, older chargers.
