Comments about Power2000 Power2000 XP675 Kit with 4-AA 2700 HP NiMH Rechargable Batteries & Universal 110/220V AC LED 3-Hour Rapid Charger:
This charger has everything I want for travel and general use:
- No external cord or transformer so it packs small and light.
- The power outlet prongs fold down flat so they don't poke or scratch other things in your bag.
- 4 independent charging circuits so you know each battery will get the proper charge without having to worry about keeping batteries perfectly paired up.
- 4 independent meters so you know when the batteries will be done.
- Not so fast and hot that it ruins your batteries.
- Operates on US or foreign voltage
It is the only charger I found that meets all those criteria and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.
It isn't perfect: one of the four batteries it came with wouldn't hold a charge; the clear plastic over the charging display has cracked from rough use but is still fully functional; it is slightly bulkier than the smallest travel chargers without displays. But close enough. Buy it for the charger, any working batteries are just a bonus.

longer recycle but that also is better for the life of the batteries

Bought 2 of these. Out of 8 batteries, 6 were bad. Would not charge at all, or charged fully within 10 minutes, which tells you that they were defective, since they are supposed to take 3 hours to charge. 10 minute charge time means the batteries have very little capacity. [...] either has a bad batch, or old stock on these. I would stay away from these batteries.
