Regarding the charger, is the RipVan100 Lightning Pack 4000N OEM Charger good enough for the Sanyo 2100mAh batts? Does it have the intelligent charge ability and the tickle charge function?

Also, if I were to get that charger and 8 batteries, it will cost me $50? How many batteries can a batt case carry?

This charger is good enough for the Sanyo 2100mAh, has the intelligent charge ability and trickle charge function.

$50 for the charger and 8 batteries. 4 AA or AAA Batteries can be contained in 1 Battery Case.

Hahaha. Thanks for the prompt reply!!! Need to get more batts for my camera. Surviving on only 4 Sanyo 2100mAh with a overnight charger is tough..

Maha POWEREX MHC401FS ($79.95)
100-min Cool Charger for 1 to 4 AA/AAA NiMH/NiCD batteries

1) Can I use Sanyo 2100 batteries with this or advisable to use sanyo charger ?

2) 100 min is for 4 at one go ? I know sanyo 4 batts take around 230 mins but 2 batts are fastest. This Maha charger takes the same time regardless of number of batts ?

3) Lastly got option to exclude car charger to lower the cost ?

;p

Hi,

sorry, the shifting to the new premises coupled with my overseas trip resulted in a delay in my response to emails and PMs, I appologise for the delay. Now that everything is more or less in place, I am clearing my backlog of mails. By end of this week, we will be more responsive. Sorry for the trouble.

Thanks and regards,

Daniel

1) Yes. The Maha charger is currently the best charger in the market. It is an intelligent (auto detect when a battery is fully charge) charger and it can definitely give a more accurate and more completeness of charge than the Sanyo charger (which is a timer based charger)

2) Yes. The charging time is regardless of the number of batteries put into the Maha charger. This is because the Maha charger has 4 independent circuits to give more accurate charging to each of the battery cell (each circuit can produce 1000mA in 1 hour) whereas the Sanyo is not truly independent, hence the charging time varies with the number of batteries.

3) The price difference with and without the car charger is very minimal, so by default we include the car charger. Our S$79.95 package is actually selling for US$60 over in the states by MahaEnergy.com and ThomasDistributing.com, so our price is already very competitive in the world!
