The charger is $30 but they have a fancy international one is $45 WITH 4 batteries and a mandatory battery holder. I say mandatory because you would not want these batteries to short out on change in your pocket. 
The down side to these batteries is that they don't hold a charge very long, and so if you have a set around for a month you really have to charge them (for an hour) before using. But they are really ideal for digital cams that use AAs, where you can charge up a couple sets for a week and have them at the ready. |
These are exactly the batteries and charger I have, and I've been singing their praises to everyone whenever the topic comes up. One of my favorite things about the charger is that there is a separate circuit for each battery. So if they have different charges on them, they each get a custom charge, instead of some average charge for all of them.
They really are the best batteries and charger.
