Gear - Chargers

While searching for a candidate camera, most models in my budget had Li-ion batteries, with small autonomies and short shelf-life, in a consumerist mindset. I learned that these batteries allowed fewer photos than their DSLR counterparts, and far fewer than AA Nimh batteries.

Most importantly, these lithium based batteries are far more damaging to the environment and they get thrown away faster (overall) than nickel-cadmium hybrid (=Nimh) batteries.
