La Crosse charger highly recommended. I read the La Crosse delivers a more reliable charge at 500-700ma as it can do a better job of detecting the cut off point. I was having some flaky battery problems at 200ma which vanished when I upped the charge rate. 700ma is still well below the safe charge limit.
One bad battery in a set can ruin your day and you need a charger with individual circuits and a readout to spot the bad one. I have also found some NiMH can self discharge much faster than the advertised rate.
