Radio Shack Universal Overnight battery charger: $15.

Package of four AA NiMH batteries: $10.

Not having to buy new batteries all the time: priceless.

Better: you can get 1 hour or 30 minute chargers (and 15 minute chargers
if you use special batteries). That is fast enough that for many
applications, even if you goof up and don't have any charged batteries
on hand, you can notice that something is getting low, and put in a
discharged set and get them up to full before the low batteries run out.

Basically, you want to have enough batteries to have a set for
everything that uses batteries, and a couple extras that you keep
charged. With the overnight chargers, if you get unlucky and two or
three things need new batteries in a day, you can easily run out. With
the 30 minute charger, that is much less likely.
