Looking for a battery charger that can hold multiples of AA and AAA so I can charge more than 4 at a time. What does anyone recommend? Thanks

Thanks. Use any of the above?
Nope, it's 2020. $2 Coles AA pack lasts me over a year in mouse and shaver. Don't recall ever changing TV remote batteries. Everything else is USB rechargeable.
Any of those would do the job fine.

OMG! You know what… I think you are right. I don't think I have EVER put new batteries in any remotes. I just recently gave away an old plasma TV to a friend, checked the remote had batteries, and they were still the original ones. The TV was about 8 years old.
Same with my AV receiver unit. It died recently after about 9 years, and was still on the original batteries…
I have literally never in my life changed out dead batteries on any tv remote in my life…
Mind… *BLOWN*
@spackbace: I have never put an eneloop into a remote…. because the remotes have never needed the batteries replaced!
@pegaxs: A while ago, I lent my 2 wii controllers to a friend over the weekend, with rechargeable batteries. When he gave them back to me he said that the batteries were empty and that he replaced them …..
Yep. I found his reviews very useful when choosing a 4 bay charger.
Maybe OP could consider multiple 4 bay or some other arrangement rather than a single higher count.

Hmm its seems that there is no clear stand out winner here. Maybe the Ikea one is the way to go.
Most cheap chargers are stupid and only "charge". If you're putting 4+
batteries into a device at a time, make sure the device treats
them individually and goes from 'charge' to 'float charge' mode
properly for the particular cell/battery.My ReZap Battery Doctor recharges nimh/nicd/alkaline batteries
(if you let any of them discharge fully it doesn't do great)
and would not hesitate to recommend. But it is only 4 at a time.https://www.amazon.com.au/LCD883-Universal-Battery-Chemistry…

Fixed… but why the need to shorten your sentences?!
Been reading from the book of IVI…
What are you using that takes up so many batteries?
