battery charger for AA batteries

[Guest]

Hi,

I read on here somewhere (can't find the thread now) that battery chargers from here will not work in Florida. My camera takes 4 AA batteries so I will need to have a charger or it could cost me a fortune. My question is this...

do I need to buy a charger in (say) Walmart once in Florida? Will that work with my batteries or will I need to buy rechargeable batteries as well? Roughly how much will this cost? I have Nimh (sp) batteries

Thanks

I got a Kodak charger with 4 AA batteries from Walmart while there last July and was $9-99 so about £5 at todays exchange rate served me well for my digital camera's

Excellent - thanks for the prompt response. I will head to Walmart when we get there then.

Check the voltage panel on the charger. Some will say 110/240v 50/60 cycles. These will work in the US. It is only a charger with 240v 50 cycles that wont work over there.
I bought a voltage changer in UK that I take with me. It cost about £30 but works with several chargers. Not powerful enough for hair dryers though.

i never had a problem with my kodak battery charger last year when i went, only thing is it takes a little longer to charge than over here.

I have 2 chargers.. both are 240v neither have 110v option.
Looks like I will have to buy one there.

What you need to look for is a charger that says 110-240 50/60Hz and one that does quick charge. I got one from CPC (uniross sprint 90) recently for under 20 including 4xAA 2500mA. Charges those in 2-3hrs. Also runs from car battery.
