NiMH chargers are obtainable in what is called sensible cost or in timer managed varieties. The timer managed charger will be set to cost for a set size of time and can then shut off. Sensible chargers don’t cost for any mounted interval however quite maintain charging until the battery is totally charged earlier than shutting off High Capacity Double A Batteries 1.2V NiMH Low Self Discharge (8 AA Pack) B08CD3XXTC.
