I've been using Rayovac I-C3 for several years (actually the same 10 batteries), 
& have only just now found out they were discontinued in 2007.  Rayovac has a 
new Hybrid brand, they claim holds a charge for 6 months.  Since my I-C3 charger 
only holds 2 batteries at a time, I'd probably have to buy a 4-battery charger 
(would be my 4th charger in 7 years-WTF!?!  Talk about planned obsolescence...).

Anybody have any experience with these?

The hybrids are pretty good, and a good price. I don't know why they're hybrids, since they don't seem to be much different than othe NiMH batteries. These hold a charge for a long time when sitting on my desk, easily a few months.

I like my Duracell CEF-23 charger. Has USB for phone/MP3 players, and charges AA and AAA batteries; you can buy it with a cord that plugs into your car's 12v receptacle; it can charge 100v-240v, so it's good for travel. It's not a fast charger, but works well. Buy batteries that will hold a charge longer while using them. Look at the mAh rating. 2000 mAh will run your devices longer than 900 mAh. You're not supposed to mix mAh ratings in a device, but it's OK to charge differently rated batteries together.
